SOLD!

[JKD]

OK, more closet finds....

I ran this in a RAmiga 7 slot zorro tower for years,  I have:

486 board - It's an slc2/50Mhz (internally clock doubled)
Fastest ISA SVGA gfx board money could buy (at the time) Orchid/Fahrenheit Kelvin 64!!!
SB16 (or clone)..I found the CDROM...since it has it's own on-board I/F
I/O board (multiple ser/par etc.) - haven't located this yet!
ISA Network card - have two of these, will send both!

I recall disconnecting the fan on the GGate and using a larger 5V one powered by the main PSU but other than that it should work perfectly

Comes with original software disks but not sure I still have the manual :-/

Found the CD-ROM drive...it is one of those dedicated on-board pseudo-ATA type interfaces..

Had about 3 enquiries on this before I even posted it FS...I guess interest died ? :-?

I am trying to sell all cards together for $500...shipping down under for this stuff is probably $40.

You're entitled to your opinion and  erm...thanks...I think?

I don't know that anything you posted is actually relevant. The Amiga is a collectors/hobby scene and rare items are priced accordingly. If I was ripping people off, this would be on eBay fetching $1k.

I'm sure people really appreciate you telling them they shouldn't 'waste' their money...

People are *free* to make offers, heck it might even sell for $400 or whatever people offer...if the demand isn't there, the price will fall accordingly.

The $ is really week right now..for some people $100 = 50p or summat

@JKD,

Do you know if all Vortex 486slc Bridgeboards at 25mHz can be "internally clock doubled" to 50mHz?  Or does it take a new crystal to accomplish?  And do you think most, or all of them can handle such doubling and retain reliability in operation?

The CPU part in question on my board is actually an slc2 so I don't know if an slc CPU provides that facility.

Sounds like you have a good board and I'm really not trying to be unreasonable on price, I've told everyone they can make me an offer

You know, from memory the Orchid Kelvin may well be based on a CL-54xx or a CL-45xx chip..but there's a big Orchid sticker over it...this is going back a long way (1994ish) but it has 64bit dual-ported VRAM on board, which was quite a feat for the day...of course none of that helps 16bit ISA transfer speed

By popular request...reduced price for quick sale!

[JKD]

This is still available!

Depends if you can call a 486 clock doubled 25MHz mobile SLC processor on a 16bit ISA bus powerful?

[JKD]

I think so...but no-one has bit yet, so $300 for sale in the US. I reserve the right to charge a little more if it goes overseas.

FWIW If you don't know what this is, don't buy it. Strictly enthusiast only.

[JKD]

up!!!

What he said...

Price now $250+shipping...surely some collector wants it at that price?
