Jens already has plans for an A2000 cpu card! IIRC he is basing it on his new A500 cpu card design or something..


Oh, if this ever happened it might give me the incentive to bring my A2000 out of mothballs again (but it would have to be at least an 040 and have access to 128MB RAM and onboard SCSI or IDE to make it woth not just using the accelerators already available).

I have one of those Vectors too (hence the Jens Accelerator needing to be better than this for me to buy it).  Can the Vector run with OS3.9 (I read somewhere it couldn't).

on the 1k.org forum site?

I doubt it though, as I don't think there are any card edge connectors for the A2000's processor slot anymore.


A2000 processor slot connectors are simple flat edge connectors like ISA or PCI cards (although they may have a different number of contacts per inch).  So I don't think it would be hard to make them.  You could even just incorporate them into the rest of the etching done on the circuit board by the factory.

The A3000/4000 connectors are the hard to find ones, I believe.
