Found PMC-PCI Carrier card for Apocalypse G4

[Storm82]

I'm looking for a PMC-to-PCI-Carrier card for my Apocalypse G4 card.

Maybe someone has a spare Carrier card from @lukzer ?

Preferably from Europe

Hello,

Are you going to use it with Hese's Firebird A4000?
Regards,

Michiel

@MicKnvL
Yes that's my plan

 

[apolkosnik]

@MicKnvL Will these also work with PrPMC8005E-1269 Emerson / Motorola PMC MODULE 84-W8649F02B?

That IS a Apocalypse G4 card and exactly the same model as mine (which is still in shipment process from Israel)

 

[MicKnvL]

These boards are designed for use with the Firebird A4000D daughterboards with the PrPMC8005E (Apoclypse) modules.

I think the ones from Israel on eBay are Emerson / MOTOROLA PrPMC8005E-1259. The difference is half the cache.

Ah yes you're right. Mine is a -1259. I think the 1269 have 256 MB of memory. But mine could be upgraded to 256 with the right chips

 

[MicKnvL]

Yes if you upgrade them to 256Mb the page table size doubles.

 

[Storm82]

I think both versions have the same amount of cache:

https://www.artisantg.com/TestMeasurement/86199-2/Emerson-Motorola-PrPMC8005E-1269-Processor-PMC-Module

 

[MicKnvL]

One is 128Mb the other I upgraded to 256Mb.
The page table size doubles.

 

[Storm82]

But L2 cache is the same in both screens

 

[apolkosnik]

Yeah, page table size differs only. Thanks!

I'd also be interested in two of these carrier boards when available

 

[qz3fwd]

I would be interested too!

Sign me up too! I have an Apocalypse laying here for 6 months, but have not been able to find a PMC-PCI carrier.
Well, I found a distributor for the Ramix 239F, but they wanted 1000 USD per piece.

Hi Storm. PM for you

Hallo @MicKnvL,

please count me in for one of your boards: "I have designed PCBs for this that will become available."

Best regards

Doc Leisure

Unpacked today. Fits like a glove. Still need PCI bracket and fan adapter. Wish the PCB was designed to directly accept the Noctua.

If you make more in Black PCB’s I will take 4. Thanks.

Put me on the list for 2 if there is a list. lol
