A600 8Mb fast expansion

[Crumb]

Impressive job!!!an autoconfig ram board for A600 sounds great!!!

Just curious... Do you know if adding a 020 would add too much complexity to your design? Anyway great job!

I wonder if it would be possible to hack card.resource to map this area instead of 200000-9FFFFF

that would be a good idea...



@thread

Do you remember 72c simm sockets are very hard to find now?... And desoldering a 72c socket is a huge job... IMHO it's easier to desolder the 4 chips of a simm than desoldering a 72c simm...

You mean like Jens showed in this photo and this , right?detail of the screw. It would be definitely a good idea for the board layout. You'll have to move the HD to other part of the case but it sounds definitely as a good idea.

Would the 8MB-non autoconfig allow you to use addmem to add manually 8MB of fast to the system? Would it allow you to add just 4MB and PCMCIA would still work?

@lordv

wow!

that sounds truly great :-)

I asked about the 8MB non-autoconfig version because as far as I know autoconfig will reserve 4MB for PCMCIA and since that memory will be reserved for it the user won't be able to disable pcmcia make an "addMem" selecting the full 8MB

Do you plan to produce more cool hardware?

a floppy disk emulator that reads ADF files from SD cards perhaps?

Maybe a small 23pin amiga RGB to S-Video (SVHS) adaptor that fits inside the 23pin connector plastic?

or an A500/A600 accelerator that accepts tons of ram? Maybe a full 020 or 030 :-)

@lordv

I've tried to order from the web page without luck... and also to send an email to acidrain but still no reply...

Hardfile cache...

a super fast hardfile in ram...

space for Megadrive cartridges using some kind of paging and reprogramming the FPGA as MegaDrive... :-)
