Congrats on your new purchase, reckon it being a 40Mhz version is quite a nice wee surprise, enjoy your new souped up miggy and get as much fun out of it as you can, it'll  hopefully be a long while before the novelty wears off... :)

Dunno if you've got an 060 CPU yet but there's a perfect one on eBay just now sitting at around £6.50 might be worth checking out if your thinking of doing the upgrade in future...:)

Full 060 CPU 50Mhz FPU MMU

What is the maximum memory this accelerator of apollo can get?I too have an apollo 68040 but with only 16 mbytes of ram.Would it be possible to get 128 or 256?Is there some chip that can be upgraded for this to happen?Has anyone managed to get more ram?


Try here for info... :) (according to this it's 32MB or 64, depending on model)

What are you going to do with all that RAM? Mine runs out of chip ram way before I've even used 8Mb of Fast Ram. I don't understand what people do with their Amigas who can make use of this much Fast. Maybe I am missing a trick?!


I have 256MB of fast ram on my Blizzard060/PPC and even with that much memory I can still run out of RAM... Why...

If like me you edit & mix a lot of 44.100Khz Stereo AIFF sound samples (CD Audio Tracks etc...) even with 256 MB of ram it can be a tight squeeze at times, or editing 24Bit full colour images in ImageFX is another example where you can easily use up this much memory... :)

There's a lot more to the Amiga than just games you know... :)

(PS:What are you doing to run out of chip mem ???)

Odd thing is until last summer when I discovered the net and these forums I assumed no-one would be using floppies in this day and age.

For at least the past 10 years now I only use HDs/ CDs /DVDs and SDCards/Memorysticks on my Amigas (took over 4000 floppies to the dump about 6 years ago)... :)

But from reading folks posts here there still seems to be a lot of people still using floppies, I could never go back to them, the best solution to me to transfer stuff between a PC and an Amiga or even for just storage is either CDs/ DVDs or a USB card reader for SD cards or memory sticks... :)

After a CPU/RAM upgrade the best investment you can make is one of the above and wave goodbye to floppy disks forever... :)
