@Jens

I am amazed and excited by the work you and Oliver are doing. I have been hoping for a solution like this for my A2000/Video Toaster. I have a CSA Derringer Platinum 030 installed, will The Indivsion ECS fit? Also since it is compatible with the Video Toaster, is it compatible with Digital Creations DCTV? I have a rev 6 motherboard, I think 6.2 but I don't see the sticker any more. It might be hiding under the Derringer. Are both Agnus and Denise ECS chipsets on this revision 6.xx A2000 MB? I see this breathing new life into my Amiga. I can't wait to see it on a flat lcd screen.

There must have been huge fluctuations in production quality. My 1260 has been a nice, stable card. With an IDE-Fix Express, IDE is about 2 MB/s faster than my old Blizz 1260. Of course the Apollo SCSI option is crap, and 32MB per SIMM limitation is also annoying. But it's a nice card for AGA demos, and all my expansions work with it OK.
 
My Apollo 1230, on the other hand, is a complete POS. It might run for a few hours, or crash immediately... no telling when. And that's on motherboards with clean power and new caps.
 
 
 
Crossing my fingers here. :)

This would be timing issues.  The apollos are not buffered this is why they are faster than blizzards but a lot more unstable.
 
Whilst using apollos you really need to get relevant timing fixs done to mobos.

 Yes loved my Blizzard 060 I had in my A1200, very stable but a hot little sucker! I used to pull the trap door off and and raise it a little on blockes then put an ordinary house fan by it when it was under heavy load. Usually rendering 3D animations.

But I guess this boils down to "we need a new acc-card for A600", hehe ;)


agreed. :D

Yeah, my 1230 crashes on any kind of motherboard, fixed or not. Probably just a b0rked card though... I can't imagine they were all like that. The 1260 on the other hand is a gem.

@Jens

Somewhat off-topic, have you ever thought of designing an accelerator card? Almost every A1200 accelerator card I've used has had memory access times a lot lower than is the theoretical peak for the CPU on the card. It would be rather nice to have something comparable to the CT60 :) Then see about an A600 version LOL!

I'm also interested in your thoughts on a new accelerator. :)

Think about where the IndivisionECS is ultimately going... And other comments by Jens in this very thread... If I'm right about this, you won't need/want an accelerator ;)

I think I'd prefer something like the Boxer rather than a PCI card with custom chipset on them, if that's what you are getting at :)

Ultimately, it's a new A600 motherboard :laughing:

Oh no! nothing like that!!! I was referring to the very early CloneA concept, I've never been  fan of the chipset on a PCI card... since I prefer to do as much in software a possible. :)

Ok, I just googled "CloneA". Is this what you meant by the "big one" you've been waiting for?

some news from the production site:

I've been a little nervous about the first dual-sided production run on the new machines (new since 2008), but it was all going flawlessly so far. Backsides have been assembled last week, and we're now tweaking the machines for the other side. If all goes as planned, the manual assembly (DIP sockets, jumper and VGA connector) can start next week.

Time to place your pre-orders!
