Hi,

I have for sale this Falcon 040 (1240) rare turbo card for A1200 from Macrosystem:

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/falcon

CPU: 68040/25 in original factory 060 socket - possible easy upgrade to 060 version BUT no any idea what is for complete upgrade need - e.g. jumpers?

Price 500 EUR incl. worldwide tracked shipping.

Sale too someplace (elsehwere) - outside Amibay.

Regards, Sveta

Interesting, but I guess the upgrade to 060 isn't an easy job: some integrated circuits must be re-programmed.
Maybe someone managed to do the job?

Hi,

Thanks for info and interest. Yes this card has some IC in socket incl. "bios" IC but no any idea with re-programmed - source? Exist in world final original Falcon 1260 or only some rare 040 version?

This card has too on board SCSI chip but here too any idea with external small scsi board/connector. This is probably easy?

PM.

Regards, Sveta

Hi,

Still for sale. candyman withdraw interest via PM.

This card probably exist on the world only as 040 version (only some rare pcs.) with latter upgrade direct from Macrosystem. Card has too on PCB (68040/68060) + original CPU socket for 060 but 060 version probably never come from MS.

Possible swap for another Amiga hardware or money + swap.

Sale too outside Amibay.

Fantastic card! I too am a proud owner of one. Regarding the 060, your best bet would be to use the 040->060 adapter that are now buying built, but not sure if the card will still fit in a desktop 1200 though.
The SCSI is already on board, the only thing needed to activate it is a small PCB, but those seem near impossible to find. If anyone out here has one it would be fantastic if we could get a high resolution scan of bottom and top of the board so we could see if reproduction is possible....

Good luck with the sale!!

Hi Tahoe,

Thanks. Yes very good and rare card. Thanks for info with 040 -> 060 adapter. This is already job for new owner.

You have test with this adapter?

SCSI - yes is on board incl. SCSI chip - only small external board with SCSI connector. This is probably possible - no big work made this SCSI mini board. Only SCSI external signals to SCSI connector.

This Falcon 040 (1240) is better than Blizzard 1240... Yes without backup clock - here exist e.g. small clock modul from Jens Germany - Individual Compters.
