A few questions about Cyberstorm MkI 040

[darksun9210]

i didn't think there was a cyberstorm mark1 040.

there was a cyberstorm mark2 040, and that could be modified to take an 060, but the 040 is a 5volt chip and the 060 is a 3.3volt chip, so you will have to find out what jumpers you need to solder, and if you need any extra resistors and capacitors to complete the 5volt to 3.3volt voltage regulator... plus change the oscillator too...

if you just drop an 060 in an 040 socket, it'll just burn out.

as far as i know, amigakit do referbished scsi modules for the cyberstorm mark2.
 :-)

if it is a fully working mark2 040, and you don't do the 060 upgrade, for 60euro it is worth every penny/cent  :-D

hmmm, i've left the jumpers set to INT by accident with a cyberstorm mk2. all that happened was the machine wouldn't even fire up. not sure about frying mainboards  :-)

looking at the connector for the scsi on the mk1, to the mk2, they look the same.... but that means diddly in electronics  :lol:

anyway, i doff my cap to you kind sir, for enlightening me to the existance of the cyberstorm mk1 040  :-)

btw, with an 040, it is usually just a case of dropping in faster oscillators... i cranked a warpengine040 from 28 to 40Mhz just fine. but with a dirty great big heatsink, thermal transfer paste, and fan.  :crazy:
