Will any 68-pin SCSI drive do? (I'm expecting the usual Amiga size-limit issues.) If so, any recommendations on a quiet SCSI drive?
I just put my A530 up on Ebay (this week) but did some research prior. I believe that you need a SCSI-1 drive. While SCSI-II drives may work if they fully support the old standard, you may be on safer ground with an older drive. Mine had a Conner Peripherals CPP1080S - Approx 1 gig. Anything below 4 gig
should work without issue.
Overclocking -- I have a 50 MHz 68030 CPU and FPU laying around, thought I'd install them, replace the oscillator and see what happens. Any thoughts?
I would advise against it. The other circuitry, the RAM and its controller in particular, are not rated for that kind of speed. I know 10mHz doesn't sound like much - and GVP did make 50mHz versions of the A530 - but you'd probably end up frying your A530 and making a whole lot of Amiga fans cry in the process. They're already tearing up at the thought. :lol:
Regards.
