Kinda disappointed here but never really said anything because I acquired an A1200 that works (just need some parts to make it complete) and 2 MorphOS systems that do exactly what I need for a NG system. But.........
I had this idea of putting together an A500 with an A590 with a 1084s. You see this stuff in mags or the computer store but the A590 is just too expensive for me as a kid back then. It was something I couldnt get as a kid because I didnt have that kinda money when I was working for minimum wage. I figured I'd put that together now. Well screw that. Prices of the A590 make it unattractive but also, if it takes a dump, cant fix it most likely. My new idea was an A500 + Kipper2k w/8mb + Indivision + Gotek floppy and a LCD monitor. No problem, bought it all.
I put the Kipper2k in but didnt solder it, just wanted to test it, works perfect. I remove the Indivision from another A500 and it doesnt fit with the Kipper2k board. Very annoying..almost to the point of just selling the Kipper2k because its of no use anymore.
I guess theres no way to make this stuff fit?
Should I just give up on this idea and sell the A500 with the kipper2k board, keep a spare A500 with the Gotek and build out my A1200 instead?
The A590 has schematics and code for the PALs available if you needed to repair it so that shouldn't be a problem.
I figure you're talking about Kipper's IDE+RAM board, what others have said is you could get one of Kipper's 68000 CPU adapter boards to make more room around the Indivision here ->
