Where you located and what kinda upgrades can you do? (Does this mean you don't do upgrades for DKB or Warp040 cards?) :)

My Apollo 1260 needs MORE RAM.
32 MB is not enough.

How much ram can you hack onto it?

Hi!
Im located in Sweden and for the moment specialized in Apollo / BPPC cards for the A1200.
Sorry, i dont own a A4000 so i cant give you any support for these cards...
Thanks for asking.. :-)

Hi!

If you add an extra SIMM socket you will have 64MB, thats the most you can get.
This limit is by the design and sorry i cant hack the memory interface (Mach210).
However, if anyone has problem with the memory interface i will soon have the Mach210 as spare part, of course with the original code.. :-)

Nope.
32MB is maximum for each SIMM slot.
You need to add an extra slot if you want to have 64Mb.

But no, its not possible to use more ram using a patch.
Its a hardware limit.

You would need to get in touch with the creator (Dean Brown?) of Apollo series and see if he still has the source code for the MACH chip, if not perhaps someone can develop their own?

I guess PG has the original MACH chip binary so that he can make more?

It really depends how many address lines go to the MACH chip.

Hi alexh!

(Btw, thanks for your many interesting posts regarding technical issues on amiga.org and other sites.. :-)

No, i dont have the binary, i think it would cost a small fortune to buy them from the developer.. :-)
The PLD:s are protected and impossible to read with a eprom programmer, if anyone are tempted to try.
However, im in touch with a person who knows the developer so im buying the PLD:s already programmed.
So it is 100% original and legal chips im selling.. :-)
I also have the firmware(s) for the eprom.
The firmware is different for the Apollo 1240, 1260 and 1260LC.
