Sure, and there were 68020 A3200 cards as well (which is what these are if you remove the 030 and shove an 020 to the left of it). Those work in 4000s and 3000s...

Besides, these are listed in the Commodore parts index as "A3400 68030 Accelerator Board"

Wasnt there a 16MHz A3000 machine for instance?


Yes, which is the only reason why a 3000 owner would buy one of these.  The 3000's processor is on the motherboard, like the 1200.  You would need this card to upgrade a 16MHz 3000 to 25MHz, which is why the card is numbered 3xxx instead of 4xxx :-D

Not the only reason...

The best reason a 3000 (or 4000) owner would buy one of these is to have as a spare to test their computer with should it start failing to boot. WIth one of these known working cards sitting in a bag you know you can eliminate your 040 or 060 board as being the faulty part should it still not boot with this thing popped in. Besides it's TEN BUCKS man... name another accelerator card you can grab as a spare/test unit for ten bucks. Plus you can shove a 50MHz 68882 in there easily and cheaply and have a nice enough FPU.

(I should mention that I have 6 new 50MHz 68882 chips here in sealed static bags also. ;)

They're "new" 68060/66's and they're also by Apollo. Nobody seemed to be interested in the Apollo cards, so I haven't comitted to getting them yet.

So would one of these cards work in a 1200 mikronik zorro board or was that just ppc cards?
Thanks.....

@Jagabot:
I have a spare A3000D power supply here I'm probably not going to ever use.
Not sure if the A3000T power connector is the same?  I imagine it is.

2nd hand, but works perfectly.  Only minor problem is the very end square rod bit of the power switch is broken off, though switch still works fine.

You can have it free for the price of freight (probably about US$15-20??).

It is 230V 50Hz, but depending on your electronic abilities could probably convert it to 110V if that's what they use in your area.


I also have most of an A3000D case in good order, and a spare A3000 DD floppy drive with mounting bracket in working condition.
Oh, and a spare A3630 just in case you sell all yours then decide you need one again :-)

Anthony.

The 3000T PS is a different animal. Longer cords, different pinouts (I think, but could be wrong about the pinouts, too lazy to check :) and definitely different Watts (more). I have a bag of power switch plungers for 4000/3000 power supplies so I could fix that, but I don't think it'll work in the 3000T, or if it does it certainly won't go where it needs to (the 3000T has wire connections to the top bezel where the power rocker switch is.

I do appreciate the offer though =)

Ahh, so much for that idea then!

The 3000T must be a lot more different than I thought.  I've worked on almost every Amiga model except A3000T and CDTV...

Do you have any detailed pictures of what's inside the 3000T?  I'd be interested to see what goes on inside that whopping great case.

Hey, what a neat idea, I'll go take some shots of the 3000T I have here, including the power supply etc.

Maybe it will be educational to somebody out there. :)
