Apollo1260@80Mhz!

Hi all!
Anyone interested in a high-end turbo card for your A1200?
I do upgrades and repairs for Apollo/BPPC cards.

Hi!
Im located in Sweden and for the moment specialized in Apollo / BPPC cards for the A1200.
Sorry, i dont own a A4000 so i cant give you any support for these cards...
Thanks for asking.. :-)

Hi!

If you add an extra SIMM socket you will have 64MB, thats the most you can get.
This limit is by the design and sorry i cant hack the memory interface (Mach210).
However, if anyone has problem with the memory interface i will soon have the Mach210 as spare part, of course with the original code.. :-)

[PG]

Nope.
32MB is maximum for each SIMM slot.
You need to add an extra slot if you want to have 64Mb.

[PG]

Yes, i do.
You could contact me by mail or PM if youre interested.
I sell any configuration of these cards, 040 or 060.

I think that we should ask that from bloelle@priv.gold.pl

Who is that..

[PG]

Aha, ok.. :-)
But no, its not possible to use more ram using a patch.
Its a hardware limit.

I guess PG has the original MACH chip binary so that he can make more?

Hi alexh!

(Btw, thanks for your many interesting posts regarding technical issues on amiga.org and other sites.. :-)

No, i dont have the binary, i think it would cost a small fortune to buy them from the developer.. :-)
The PLD:s are protected and impossible to read with a eprom programmer, if anyone are tempted to try.
However, im in touch with a person who knows the developer so im buying the PLD:s already programmed.
So it is 100% original and legal chips im selling.. :-)
I also have the firmware(s) for the eprom.
The firmware is different for the Apollo 1240, 1260 and 1260LC.

It might be worth asking the developer if they were capable of doing a new version with increased RAM capability?

I doubt that they are.

The PLD's you are buying are probably NOS (New old stock) and were actually programmed many years ago (but I may be wrong.)

The people involved are VERY busy (it has taken me four months to get this far..) so im sure there are no chanse for a new memory interface.
It would have been nice, though..
Im not sure if the PLD is the only bottleneck (im a service technician, not a developer), it could be other hardware limits?

Can you do the Apollo 040 > 060 upgrade?

If so how much would it cost?

Thanks

Hi,

yes, i could.
Please PM or mail me for details.

Would you be willing to Upgrade an Apollo 4040 to a 4060?

Sorry, but i have only the parts needed and the knowledge to upgrade A1200 cards.
