The simms they sell are 70ns. Are these capable of getting the best performance from these cards?

Crisisdog,

Have you had any more time to try the board out? How does it perform and what do you think of it? Any issues? Did you get your RAM from Software hut too?

I'm about to order one myself and am interested to hear some thoughts from those that have theirs already.

Thanks,

Robert

This is a bit of a dissapointment to be honest at this stage. :(

For anyone that is interested, I e-mailed to enquire about the speed of their 32meg simms being 70ns and the effects this would have on the performance of the card and got the following reply.

"Yes we use all the same make and speed, we run them all at 60ns through a tester so regardless if it is marked 70 or 60ms it works fine (we try to use 60ns if available ofcourse). Most brand name ram can run much faster than marked, we run motorola ram through our tester at 40ns when it was marked 80ns"

How did the pair of you get on with getting these boards working properly?

Did anyone else order a 4060? Surely there must be more than 2 people on Amiga.org who ordered them?

Yep, the picture says Commodore A4000 Rev B.  So I have heard others are having problems with this motherboard.  All I can say is as long as it works better than the A3640 Rev3.0 I have, I will be very happy.


What sort of problems are others having?

I e-mailed software hut regarding the issues with A4000s and got the following reply.

"The units work with 99% of the A4000 motherboards, very early on Commodore shipped only a handful of motherboards with 2, 28mhz occilators rather than the standard 28 and 50mhz."

So off I go to check my motherboard has a 28 and 50mhz occilators.

Did you get any further with discovering what the problem was?

Has anyone got their 4060 card running with any SCSI drives yet?
