Hi,

     With all of the discussion on how to get the DKB 3128 boards working properly, it got me thinking... What is the most memory you have ever seen in a classic Amiga?

For my concern it must be 272 MB with 128 MB on the CSPPC, 128 MB on the DKB 3128 and 16 MB on the Amiga 4000 motherboard.

Using a Mediator busboard it would be possible to install 6 x DKB 3128 and 128 MB on the accelerator, or even better 6 x FastLane Z3 with 256 MB on each board, if those 32 MB 30 pins modules ever got released. That makes it 1680 MB fast ram, but most likely the Amiga will not be able to handle this anyway :-)

My BlizzardPPC board is maxed out with 256 MB ram as well.

This is what I have had in my Amigas:
Amiga 600: 38 MB  (2 MB + 32 MB with Apollo 630 + 4 MB PCMCIA) - SOLD unfortanely but got a good price :D
Amiga 1200: 258 MB  (2 MB chip + 256 MB with Blizzard PPC) - SOLD
Amiga 500+: 130 MB  (2 MB + 128 MB with Blizzard 2040) - Still owns it! :D

I had 128MB (64MB+64MB) on my BlizzardPPC. (BPPC can take two 128MB SIMMs but they are not easy to get.)
My Amigas: A500, Mac Mini and PowerBook

I saw an A3000 with 3 fastlane boards all with 128MB on them and a CSPPC with 128MB at a show a few years ago. Someone killed the OS3.9 install so it wouldnt boot and I dont know if it actually addressed all the RAM. The owner did say it worked fine and I dont see why it wouldnt.


As for me I had 256MB in my A3000 and it worked just fine.

As I said on the other tread, try to beat that:

128 MB on MKII
128 MB on DKB3128
 64 MB on Fastlane Z3
 16 MB on Mobo
---------------------
336 MB Fast total (plus 2MB Chip :-D )
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

I'm curious about the Z3 Fastlane. Firstly, how many of the upgraded ones are around, the ones that can take 256mb? What I mean is, are these rare boards or can you find them second-hand in similar quantities to DKB boards?

Secondly, assuming somebody found one of the 256mb versions, would these SIMMS work? They seem to be sold for old Mac computers. They are 5v SIMMS, what voltage SIMMS are used in the Z3?
