Anyway to disable fast ram with M-Tec accelerator ?
« on: October 24, 2011, 05:47:38 PM »
I have an M-Tec 42Mhz 68030 accelerator with 8MB.

PCMCIA does not work with the 8MB.

Is there any way via software or key presses during reset so that i can disable the ram when i want to use my PCMCIA CF adapter?

Its too much hassle always removing the ram chip or else playing with the jumpers to disable ram completely.

I just got the card today so dont think ill be changing it any time soon.

I had in the past 2 Blizzard 1230 IV's and a DKB Cobra which were all PCMCIA friendly but i had sold them. This card is great except for the PCMCIA thing.

The best way to get your pcmcia working with an accelerator card is to go for a pcmcia friendly card - ACA1230 or even better pre-order the new ACA card thats being released in the next couple of weeks. All have 64mb ram as standard :)
 
I looked into all of this last month and opted for ACA on the advice of many members here and although i had some teething probs I've been pretty happy with it overall ;)

Is it possible, maybe anyone who owns one of these cards to make it think it has 4MB instead of 8MB. I tried setting the jumper but i must have done it wrong as it said that i have no fast ram when i set it.
