ZIP to SIMM convertor for in A3000 where to get.

Vesalia doesn't have them on their site, any other idea's ?

Hmm, I've seen some floating on ebay, but they generally are pretty expensive.

I got mine cheap though amibench, and I think it was from the people they were originally build them. Might want to try posting a wanted ad there. (Sorry I cant find his contact info).

But, you'd be better of getting a cyberstorm for your miggy, anyway.

I got one directly from Torsten Gruner, probably the owner, and perhaps he can help you too.

just one thing, Cyberstorm == _EXPENSIVE_ ;-)

Yeah, I know ;-)

But, you could always find a MK2 040 for about 100 euros, which is not that bad (in terms of amiga hardware prices, that is). ;-)

Is the one pictured the A3000D model?  If so, it will not be compatible with accellerator cards (not sure how the memory and fast slot sit on the A3000T).  I wish the AmiSIMMFast was still available.  It was a really nice product.

Are there any details (schematic level) about for the AmiSIMMfast?  Is it another SIMM to ZIP converter?

If there is enough interest/demand I could possibly looking at building a short run of them if it's something simple like SIMM to ZIP.

I did some searching and found this:

http://aminet.net/hard/hack/PS2_adapter.readme (and the file http://aminet.net/hard/hack/PS2_adapter.lha ofcourse)

it seems to be more or less just a mechanical adapter from the ZIP package connectors to the SIMM edge connectors.

Could you give an estimate at how much it would cost to build such a thing ?

[Lemmink]

Well what is the point in useing such a pice of hardware today ? If you were ever to find such a thing it will cost half of an entry level turboboard since it is quite rare.

@Adolescent

Yes, it is the 3000D version pictured, and yes, an accellerator card will not fit on top of it. But if you just want 16Mb RAM, then it´s the perfect choice...
