Overclock SupraTurbo28?
« on: August 26, 2004, 10:50:49 PM »
I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this?
It'd just be 'for the hell of it'.

It contains a 68HC000@28Mhz. By looking at pics at amiga.resource.cx, I see no crystal, hmm...can someone enlighten me please?
I like Amigas

@ Piru

Hi, I thought the 86-pin expansion slot was was missing the 28MHz signal -  (pin 9 on the A2000 CPU fast slot)

edit:
If it isn't missing the signal, wouldn't it be possible to easily use  an A2000 CPU card with the A500, since the 28Mhz signal would be present...

Thanks for your replies Jens

The 28 Mhz signal is not available on any of the expansion ports of any Amiga.

So not even on the A2000 CPU Fast slot?
There's a pinout at the Big Book of Amiga Hardware that says   pin 9 is 28Mhz...what does this mean?

What's missing on the A500 86-pin connector is the 7Mhz CPU clock signal, but that can be generated by X-ORing the two 3.5Mhz signals, so I guess Supra just took one of these 3.5Mhz signals and multiplied them by 8.

So how does something like the DMA expander work (allows the use of A2000 accelerators in A500)?

I was assuming that it generated the 28MHz signal (as shown in the pinout of the A2000 CPU fast slot)

The A500plus provides the 7Mhz signal on the 86-pin port, but no design ever used this, AFAIK.

So the pinouts are very slightly different between the A500 and A500plus?

The 16Mhz 68000 CPU of the Supra Turbo28 was a CMOS version, it hardly gets warm when overclocked, but since the rest of the thing is fully syncronous, overclocking will NOT work. Only async designs can be clocked at "any" frequency.

Shame
