A600 PCI?
« on: December 25, 2004, 10:05:21 AM »
I might get a Amiga 600. Is it possible to use any of the Amiga 1200 PCI adaptors on one of these, along side a CPU upgrade? On that note what is the highest CPU you can use on one of these?

The A600 is the only Amiga that doesn't have an easiely accesable CPU-bus in one form or another, and therefore the only possibilty were cards to be clipped ontop of the soldered-in 68000.

Cards were made with 020 and 030 CPUs, but are hard to find, expensive and rather unreliable.

Sorry, but no PCI at all.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

On the other hand, you have the pcmcia port !! You can connect a Squirrel scsi controller, a Compact Flash card for extra storage, certain network cards, certain WireLess Lan cards, Whippet serial card, and even rare memory cards ... so don´t be disappointed that you can not do as much as an A1200 in a tower  :-)
