Amiga 1000 and ICD FFV2

[JackL]

Yes and I have already made the board. It is shipping to me now. My 1000 will have an MTec 68020i properly installed in it as soon as it arrives. The MTec board is already in but the floppy drive can't be mounted without moving the socket back.

I'll post pictures when it's done.

Does the MTec 68020i just work in the A1000 for you? i have one and all i got was a flashing power light when i tried it in a A1000.

Hmmm, do you have a kickstart on board? my M-Tec works fine in my A500 but stops the A1000 booting.

[JackL]

Yes, I have a Kickstart adapter from DJBase with 3.1 (Rom from A500) installed. It also works with 2.05.

Good job i have one of those on the way!

i also have a CFIDE68K - shame they wont play together - are there any other CF/IDE interfaces that we know work with the A1000 and M-Tec?

Finally, did you make any extra adapter boards for the processor socket?

[JackL]

Yes, I have 1 or 2 extra adapter boards. Finding them however is a whole different matter:D  I'll send you a PM if I locate an extra one.  The ICD AdIDE and the M-Tec play well together. I don't know of another solution. With all of these internal expansions it seems the 86 pin side expansion port is no longer reliable.

It figures, I built this monster right before the GBA1000 board run was put together:)

BTW I can't say enough kind words about DJBase or his abilities/hardware. He is a fine technician. You will be pleased with the Kickstart adapter.

Thanks Jeff. i look forward to your PM
