Okay… A bit of an update. I bought another fully put together V2.2 board (Accept for Clockport and power headers).

Here is something interesting. Apollo 4040-4060 board with RAM populated and no Fast RAM simms. Works no problem.
As soon as you install a 64MB or 128MB fast RAM Simm. Works fine. As soon as you install RAM onto the Apollo card, System won’t boot, hangs in Grey screen. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ remove FAST RAM Simm or simms, it boots. Jumper for CPU on Mainboard set to internal. Not got around to testing a 68060 CPU yet in the ext. jumper position.

Edit:

Update. Cyberstorm 060/PPC now installed with Mainboard jumpers set to Ext. No issues. Both RAM being seen. 112MB Fast RAM and 128MB Cyberstorm.

I’m guessing Both RAM regions on Int. setting conflict?

Edit 2:

Plugged back in the Apollo 4040-4060. Removed the FastRAM SIMM size jumper completely. CPU board works no problem. All 128MB RAM on the CPU is detected. Looks like I haven’t read the specs on this properly? Or another issue found?

Anyways. Hope this helps others.

Will when get chance test out my Warp Engine 060 in this new Mainboard. 🤞🏻

So another update with my Cyberstorm 060/PPC board on the rev 2.2. For some reason when trying to boot up Amiga OS 4.1 FE the system goes into a reboot phase with the purple screen (PPC switch over). No issue in my Rev 1 ACILL.
Have contacted @darefail to see about some Gal updates. 🤞🏻 This then fixes both issues.

Also contacted @saft6luck for software requirement for said GALs 👍🏻

Hi, are the new rev motherboards (plain PCB's) ready for sale with you?

Not with me, I’m afraid. I bought the rev 2.2 fully populated from a seller on here.
Contact @saft6luck who has made these a reality. Or visit the A1K forums where this project is being publicised. But be warned you will need to translate this from German if not fluent.
Rev 2.4 is currently being tested from what I can gather. Has more extras.

If you wish to contact Acill, the best place is his discord channel... Acill Classics. Lots of hardware and software people hang there...
