A2000 Acceleration (HOWTO?)
« on: September 29, 2003, 11:57:02 AM »
I have an A2000 with a Solid State Leisure A5000 accelerator. Is there any way I can add an MMU to that system - or tear it apart and add something else to get an MMU on board?

Is it possible to replace the 68020EC on the A5000 with a 68030 chip? Does anyone have experience of these things?

If it is going to be possible to get an MMU into my A2000 where do I buy the bits from?

Lots of questions I know - and thanks in advance.

Jonathan

i wonder if one could use a viper 520 or 530 cd in a 2000 even though there made for a a500. seems like i heard or read the A2000 and the A500 was pretty much the same computer, except for more expanisions on the A2000. just a thought...

Viper is not possible in A2000.
MMU was a separate chip for the 68020. Only possible to fit if your
cpu board has socket for it.
You cannot excahnge the 68020 with an 68030 chip.

Is this a physical issue or doesn't it work if you plug it in the 68k socket?

i looked at my viper 520cd no MMU, but my A1200 shows to have a mmu and i can't notice much differance with the mmu active or not, does an mmu offer much in the small processors like the 68020/60830 cpu any way?
