Amiga 600 CPU

[trekiej]

Would it be too difficult to upgrade to a new faster 68000 cpu on an A600?
Would a clock divider be necessary?

[trekiej]

I guess I am not frustrated with the cpu that is in it.
I still have only one meg. or ram.

Just curios about how a new board could manage it.

[trekiej]

Yes, I was thinking about it and am wanting to know how it could be possible to do so on a new board.

[trekiej]

I do know that the 68000 has the Bus Grant, Bus Request, and ACKnowledge lines. BG, BR, BACK, I think. It has been a while.
It does have some form of multi-cpu capability.

[trekiej]

I hope some one makes a FPGA main board for the A600.
Meantime an 060 or 040 would do.

[trekiej]

Yes. like the UnAmiga.

One of my A600's has a keyboard problem. Earlier it would only register the F1 key. I re-seated the cable and now get most of the keys but not the two Amiga Keys and some CTRL keys.
I need to buy a new keyboard membrane and hopefully it will fix the problem. The connector or the ribbon cable connector could be the problem.

What say ye?

[trekiej]

Ugh, I need more money.

@ Pat The Cat
I will look to get a new membrane when I can.
There is a pcb membrane that is solid and works with green and blue keyboards.

I will probably upgrade the working A600 first. (edit:)
I bought a pcmcia adapter for transferring files. This will help in up grades, etc.
Thanks for the feedback.

It looks like a good choice.
I am not for sure about other memory upgrades.

There is one that has 4 mb max.
It does have a good price.
It is sold by Amigakit.com.

March seems to be a release date for the A6095 card.
I rather have this card.

?

Looks like I have to put my A600's away for a while. Class starts on Monday the 15th.
I do not know if there is a such a thing as  a Good Amiga Addiction.
Later.

I bought a PCMCIA adapter and I can not get it to work on either machine.
Any help will be appreciated, I tried different SD Cards of different sizes and still no good.
The kit has a PCMCIA adapter, a Flash Drive adapter, and a SD Card.
Thanks.

I copied compactflash.device to Devs: and then copied FAT95 to L: and then CC0 to directory.
CFD133 shows similar hardware.
