What are the slots on the A3000D daughterboard?

Ah, thanks for that tip.  I picked my A3000 up second hand so I'm not sure what the Buster revison is.  What happens if it is an older one?

Well, here's a chance to open up your A3000 again, so you can worship the interesting hardware architecture. :-) The Buster is the square chip next to the fast slot, half covered by my 3640 accelerator.

Heres pictures of all three Buster versions

Busters!!

If its older, you buy it from SH, take out the old buster, and put the newer one in. Tres simple. Be sure to have the special tool for removing those kind of chips.

@Darrin:

Yes, if you have an A4000. Amiduffer who started the thread has an A3000, which CV64/3d-scandoubler doesn't fit it.

Just about all CV64's have 4MB these days as they are so cheap to upgrade - just get some chips from an old VGA card.


@xaccrocheur:

As adolescent says you just need to connect the A3000 flickerfixered output to the passthrough connector of the CV64 (the other connector on it which isnt connected to the monitor normally). A short loopback cable was shipped with these cards for this purpose.

You also need to enable the CyberGraphX tooltype "PASSTHROUGH" and make sure the CyberGraphX env variable "NOPASSTHROUGH is not set.


@Amiduffer:
Just choose any of the four Zorro slots and you should be fine.

Oops, my mistake, it's in fact a CV64/3D (3D my arsse) with the empty space & internal connector for a scandoubler+passthru module.

I have to say that this very module is by far, the most desired item on my Amiga HW wishlist !!

Anybody got one spare ? I'm just asking ? PhaseV remains ? AmigaKit ? Anyone ?  :boohoo:

I'm sure it's not even so hard to make considering such high PCB achievements like the CFlash/USB floppy Emulator, the Minimig and other PCB "monsters"... Seriously, is there a chip readily available to base a (standalone, of source) scandoubler project upon ? Would it be difficult to do ? I soo much need this for ALL my Amigas... I do video & music with it, and the occasional music. And I *need* to use them with 17' CRTs. Maybe it's another thread. I'd pay real money for this.
