That's the one, an odd but rather good concept, it's alot of fun and so very sharp. Only let down by the screen which would be great if it was a flat one but finding a flat 15khz screen would be virtually impossible but it's more then excellent.Im loving this new toy, half 386SX, half MegaDrive, thanks Scrappy!
Bit of a rubbish picture, sorry about that.
ahhh yes amstrad mega pc? nice bit of kit them and on this list i seem to have developed :/
enjoy!!!
Close!
Actually, the A3400 was the A4000 prototype, often found with a black front.
This CPU card was the original one like it was designed for the A3200/A3400. Yes, I know, the A3630 (just a nickname) has exactly the same PCB, but this still is a very different card.
This card has a full 68030, instead of the 68EC030 on the A3630. It has a jumper for MAPROM (which requires the MMU) and it has a GAL/PAL chip between the 68030 and 68882 CPU's.
What makes this card rare? Well, it acually comes from an A4000 prototype. It has a full 68030 and a full 68020 from factory. It has a MAPROM option and has an IC that normal A3630's do not have. It's also a lot older then any of the A3630's that hang around in 3000T's and 4000/030's.
All in all I figure it's a great find!

Actually, it's exactly this CPU card which is mentioned at the specs, this one is indeed labeled 68020/030 BOARD Rev 1.0 (on the serial label)

+ 1 - Can we see a performance benchmark of it?
Ok not Amiga related but it's a great piece of hardware

Whoho!:mrgreen:
Yesterday I was presented with a complete NTSC C=128 (complete as in working wedge & heavy as hell PSU)! The one shaped as the C64c.
Yellowed as if the poor guy have hepatitis, but hey! Pictures to follow.:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
Now, where I can find the DIN connectors? One for the video out, another to hack a serial connection.

Re-discovering Amigas after a bit of an absence!
My goodness Rkauer you certainly were not kidding about it being excessively yellow! Still, a good going over with Retr0bright will have it back to it's former glory , which reminds me.......

You are saying that to one of the first Retr0bright developers?
Nah, no offence taken.
But I prefer to restore the unit to its former glory instead installing a spoiler/22" alloy wheels/200dB sound system/2 sluts on the trunk/etc.
I think the analogy is good enough.
