Steve Stoltz what I really want is to find the circuit boards (or files) so I can buy a few and build my own. I've been searching on and off for that last few days. No luck so far. Though there's enough info on this page to create your own from scratch.
Adrian Garay Yes, this is from the first batch. I noticed on his current listing that he said the 3003 code may suffer from some timing errors and that the current batch has updated code, but It must not be posted to his web page yet. Since I haven't bought a programmer yet I guess I'm in no big hurry. lol
Adrian Garay I didn't realize there was an Amibay thread, I just saw it on ebay and bought one I'll have to check through there and see if anyone else has tried this on the A1000. So what part of the country do you live in?
Adrian Garay Indiana here, I figured I would take the chance and try it out considering the low price. I ordered a programmer today so hopefully flashing different code will at least get it to boot. I really like its compact design.
Adrian Garay That's great to hear. Let us know if you discover any new bugs. His IDE68K controller looks interesting. I may try one of those after I get a kickstart adapter. I think the A1000 should have plenty of room for the lid to close. Sounds like you'll have to make a lift kit for the A500 kb and case lol
You both need a 68k socket relocator. TerribleFire/Plasmab has one he's redesigning that should work once it's up on his GITHub. Glad to hear it works though. One of you should ask TerribleFire if you can send him your board to make it work with the TF530 and get him to send it back when he's done with a relocator board.
Christopher Gaul It appears that the A1000 version has a different offset, in comparing the ones that kipper makes. I'd consider sending TF mine to work with once I get it going, I want to play around with it for a while first :)
Steve Stoltz I think you could just as easily take some good, top down photographs of the A1000 mobo, 68k Socket etc and make some measurements and overlay them on the photo(s) and send those. On the other hand, looking at the A1000 internals, it looks like the TF530 might drop right in there. Just FYI.
I recently bought one of these from a guy on ebay, I haven't received it yet but I'm looking forward to trying it out .

ReplyDeletePLEASE report back on it here for us. I looked at them too and I'm very curious to hear how they work.
I will, I'll probably make a short video. I am hoping that I can run a full memory test with no problems.

ReplyDeleteWhen my unit arrives I'll contact him and ask if the eagle's are publicly available. Id like to have those as well.
ReplyDeleteSteve Stoltz I think I have a stack of old EDO RAM awaiting a new life in a project like this...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this will play nice with a TF530?
ReplyDeleteSteve Stoltz I actually asked SJ about that and the answer appears to be no...currently, though he has plans to fix that in future software revs.

ReplyDeleteOn the A1000 having the auto config set to on seems to put it into a boot-loop. I'm wondering if the kickstart may be issue.
