ZorRam - new memory board for Zorro 3
« on: March 21, 2010, 06:30:10 AM »
I haven't seen any news of this here, so check this out:

http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21012

Quoted (and translated from German) from A1K.org by Michael Boehmer:

"This card provides a common OEM development of individual computers and on behalf of, E3B amigakit.com (Mathew Leaman) dar. The Zorro III E3B know-how comes from, as the circuit board layout and the extremely slim-SDRAM controller, the know-how comes from individual computers on SDRAM and the manufacturing experience for a high-quality production of the cards at the same time an attractive retail price.

The card (project name "ZorRAM") will be available exclusively at amigakit.

The technical data in brief:

- compact Zorro III card (130x55 mm ^ 2)
- Four-layer PCB
- 128MB or 256MB of fast SDRAM (soldered)
- real 32bit design
- Full support for Autoconfig
- RAM is automatically integrated into the system
- RAM can be "manually" integrated addme /
- low power design
- slender, but faster FPGA for interfacing to Zorro III
- no Zorro II support (makes no sense at 8MB address space) "

Has this board been tested in a Elbox A4000 Mediator Tower bus board?


It says on the AmigaKit site it was tested with Mediator A4000D and A4000Di...so yes, probably will work fine with your Mediator.

I bit the bullet and ordered two ZorRam cards - they should arrive next week, I will post unboxing pix.
