FS: IDE-adapters to 68k-socket and mouse adapter PCBs

[mrmkl]

2nd run. There will be around 20 pcs for sale. Pricing the same, 40 euros. Or buy two and get a ps/2 mouse adapter for free. :pint:

Adjusting PIO-modes probably doesn't do much anything  with 7 MHz 68000, this circuit doesn't really even check if the drive wants wait-states by using the IORDY signal. :roll: DMA is doable, when the CPLD controls the address lines of an on-board RAM chip. Some 68HC000 may be overclocked to atleast 28 MHz, as is proven by "Supraturbo."
The RAM chip which would be nice, is KM416C4104C, a 5 volt 4M x 16bit EDO DRAM. It is rare, I would have 4 pcs if I desolder them from SIMMs. (3.3 volt EDO chips are more common, but anyways obsolete) I have been planning a board to the dip-64 socket with that RAM and a CPLD (it would have only RAM.) I have another plans for a board that has RAM, ROM, IDE, CF and clockport.
An internal PCMCIA connector should be possible to add, for WLAN or ethernet card.

A socket adapter, that shifts back the 68000 socket would be simple, but not extremely cheap, because it takes some PCB area.
It seems possible in A500. How much back can you move in A1000, A2000, or CDTV? How wide can the PCB be in these models?
There are still many V106 adapters/blank pcbs (+parts) for sale, 5 pcs at eBay, too. Also mouse adapters/blank pcbs.

I'm offering a shipping to to "world" for fixed price of 5 euros. (without insurance or tracking, insurance or other services may cost more.)

An update: there has been no advancement in the 8MB fastram design in the past few weeks (with IDE and other extensions.) I did made a lot of "sketches" of boards, but things don't seem to "click together" perfectly. Of course I could "just do it", but now I am busy until next week.

The remaining sold boards not yet shipped will probably be sent on friday (delayed 1 week from previous "schedule" I have emailed some buyers.)

There a small number of IDE-adapters for sale, and many ps2m-adapters. I think it best use trackable mail when sending long distances, because sometime the risk of lost shipment comes true. Price is 5,60 for registered, or 7,80 for Exprès mail. The latter has a tracking code.

@Copland:

I have looked at the project. On Aminet (and not only there), there have been different double-frequency accelerator projects. The bottle neck of these accelerators is that there is no "fast ram", without a lot of waiting for (chip) RAM to be free to access. The acceleration is reduced to surprisingly little, it may be hardly noticeable. I haven't build a 14 MHz accelerator, but I aim to make similar with fastram, and try to see how much I can overclock it. 32MHz? 24MHz?
A500 accelerator is a bit simpler than a A600 one, because the CPU can be pulled from its socket, so the bus grant method of disabling the original CPU is not necessary (for internal accelerator, that replaces the original DIP64 68000.)

Shipping the sold boards has advanced rather sluggishly, but during this weekend I plan to have all packed and sent.

[mrmkl]

These V1.06 will fit, it's low profile. The newer (A600) KS is needed to autoboot.

[mrmkl]

[d]I think there are no more IDE-boards left to sell.[/d]

EDIT: I have sent e-mail/p-mail to those who had made inquiries about the remaining boards.

EDIT: I put 4 pcs for sale at ebay.de

[mrmkl]

(The shipping cost 10 euros includes registered mail and packaging materials.)

"how about offering next batch to resellers ie amigakit or vesalia?"

Maybe factory made run with rohs compliance, so the eu "feds" won't get after me.
Please people, don't lick the boards I've sent to you, they are made of leady NOS (new old stock) parts. (Which I've bought at prices lower than brand new lead-free parts might be at sellers like Digikey.)

I put mouse adapters for sale at eBay
I was going to order more ide PCBs, since there have been some interested people. I'll see if the next revision will be ready this week.

[mrmkl]

CompactFlash connector added in CFIDE68K version 188.link
I'll get the blank PCBs next week.
There will probably be a few pieces, built&tested, for sale for 50 euros + 10 euros for shipping.

[mrmkl]

After abel hdl code bug fix it started working. Some boards are allready reserved, but there are some left for sale.

[mrmkl]

You'll need an A600 ks-rom in the socket, the inbuilt driver then boots from the drive. Price is 50 euros + 10 euros for registered airmail shipping + packing.

I think I'll make a 8MB ram board that can be stacked with ide-board and 68000 cpu.

[mrmkl]

I aim to finish a PCB design an order some proto PCB:s for an 8 Mbyte memory expansion in a few weeks or months.
The adapter will most likely be made of 8M x 8 bit 3.3 volt DRAM chips and two 3.3V CPLD chips for voltage conversion, data multiplexing, dram address and control signals and autoconfig(tm).
