Title: Found this on Ebay not sure if it's comp. with Amiga One or not
Post by: amesie2 on April 11, 2007, 01:54:48 AM

I found this on Ebay and am wondering if it might be compatible with an Amiga One? It could be of some use if it is!!

G3 Processor (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320100708649&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr12_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=320102334657&itemcount=12&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget)

I'm pretty sure it's useless as a drop in replacement, as the AmigaONE uses a non-standard CPU socket. It also looks like a different generation chip, so even with professional rework equipment it probably couldn't be soldered onto an existing AmigaONE CPU card.

OK, just thought if it fit it would be a good replacement for someone and cheap too....

Why bother even if it would fit ?
its only 333MHz, even the A1SE had a 600MHz processor.
It looks like it would fit physically - one of the Megarray mezzanines Apple used back then - Megarray is the same connector as used on A1XE's and µA1's, but are electronically incompatible.
