CSA Mega Midget Racer and HD mask question

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Does the RAM on the MMR not auto-configure? I have 12MB on my A500 and the only reason I've not gone to 18 is is I could never find the higher capacity chips for my VXL-30.

AFAIK your system should be able to support without too much trouble:

8MB 16-bit fast on the side expansion slot
8MB 32-bit fast on the accelerator
2MB chip

All of those things should autoconfigure, or be selectable with not much more than a few jumper changes. Your mileage may vary.

Edit: are you trying to change the mask to get it to transfer directly from the hard drive controller into 32-bit memory?  I'm not sure what you're trying to do here.  Maybe I need more coffee, lol.

Very nice.  The idea of a "lowly A500" with the same amount of RAM as an A3000 always appealed to me.    2MB chip upgrades usually appear on ebay pretty frequently for around $100-ish, or you could try asking on Amibay.  Sometimes sourcing a used A2000 will score you one, as well (better if the person selling doesn't realize it has one).  Good luck!

The CSA Derringer takes 32MB simm and its mapped as 32bit ram.

And also rare as hen's teeth.    I wish Jens had taken a different approach and gone internal with that ACA500 accelerator, but whatcha gonna do?  Is what it is.

I have mine boxed away somewhere. Not sure it was ever used.

I am sure I have the original manual in PDF format somewhere. Not much help sorry as I have never used it.

Oh man.  I bet someone would pay good money for this.  You don't happen to have any unused 68060 boards for A2000's sitting around too, eh?  :lol:
