Title: CFIDE68K in A2000
Post by: curtis on April 26, 2013, 08:11:05 PM

After seeing the Buddha IDE thread got to thinking about whether the CFIDE68K would work in an A2000.

Personally, I don't see why it wouldn't but tossing the idea out for the hardware heavies to comment.

I'd say it *should* work in a relatively unexpanded A2000. Just need to route leads to /INT2 and /OVR.

Taken from his site: /INT2 can be found at pin 21 of 8520 CIA and /OVR at pin 29 of Gary.

...I say unexpanded because there seems to be quite a few (obscure?) accelerator boards that are incompatible with this device. Talking about 68k piggyback boards designed for A500/A1000 of course, but any 86-pin fast slot or side expansion cards share most all of the same signals. Guess someone should give it a try!

Here's a link to his page, where he successfully had one going in an old B2000 rev 4.4 setup:
