    optional memory daughterboards
  • 68030-RAM8:
    • eight 30 pin SIMM sockets accept 4 or 8 MB RAM
    • supports only special 1 MB Nibble Mode SIMMs, they are more expensive than GVP SIMMs
    • accepts SIMMs in groups of four
  • 68030-RAM32: (from 1991)
    • eight 64 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 8 or 20 MB RAM
    • supports only special 1 or 4 MB, 60 ns GVP SIMMs

    • 50 MHz boards support 4 MB SIMMs, possible configurations are 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 MB
    • using a 4 MB SIMM requires four 1 MB SIMMs to be installed in sockets 3 to 6, so the 4 MB SIMMs can only be installed into sockets 7 to 10
    optional IDE controller
  • two autoboot ROM sockets
  • to activate the IDE controller only the boot EPROM(s) (gvpat.device) has to be installed on the main board - the first version of the driver software required two EPROMs, later ones required only one
  • does not support drives that has more than 1024 cylinders
  • controller uses byte-swapped storaging, so the HDD will be unreadable on other controllers without that feature
  • 40 pin internal IDE header
  • A-Max II driver (gvpat.amhd) - requires gvpat.device v2.4 and A-Max v2.06
    notes
  • autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3 - the autoboot ROM should not be installed with Kickstart 1.2
  • two ROM sockets for UNIX boot ROMs that require an A2090A SCSI controller - these ROMs are compatible with those on the A2630
  • 68000 fallback mode selectable by jumper

  • Turbo Amiga CPU (CSA 00992D): 68881 up to 25 MHz, PGA, asynchronous
  • the 14.3 Mhz chips are overclocked 12 MHz units
  • when addressing the Amiga custom chips or the motherboard memory, the 68020 throttles back to 7 MHz
  • rev 4.2 motherboards have to be modified (a trace has to be cut and a jumper installed) to get the CPU card work, rev 3.9 motherboards work without problems
  • 68000 fallback mode selectable by jumper
    optional static memory card - Turbo Amiga Memory (CSA 00993)
  • without this RAM card, the 68020 performs 15% slower than the original 7 MHz 68000, because of the additional time it takes to generate 24 bit addresses for the motherboard memory
  • the card fits into a free Zorro slot, but instead of transmitting data via the Zorro bus, it attaches directly to the CPU card via four ribbon cables, and create a 32 bit memory bus
  • with the memory card installed, performance is increased to 2.8 times of a standard A2000
  • sixteen 32 pin DIP sockets for up to 2 MB static RAM
  • takes 32k×8 or 128k×8, 100 ns SRAM chips in groups of four
  • the sockets can also take four 28 pin 64k×8 ROM chips containing Kickstart 1.2.2
  • does not autoconfig its memory
  • multiple Turbo Amiga Memory cards can be installed
    optional 16 bit RAM card adapter - DragStrip
  • allows using two 16 bit Zorro II RAM cards as a 32 bit RAM expansion
  • consists of a converter card (16/32 Bit Converter) and a connector board for the RAM cards (StepLadder)
  • the converter card has to be installed in the first Zorro II slot (closest to the CPU slot) and connects to the CPU card via the same four ribbon cables
  • the connector board with the RAM cards are placed between the CPU and converter cards
  • any Zorro II RAM cards work like the Commodore A2052 or A2058
  • the converter card has four 28 pin DIP sockets for 64k×8 ROM chips containing Kickstart 1.2.2
    notes
  • the first 32 bit accelerator system for the Amiga
  • all of the cards have four diagnostic LEDs for the four ribbon cables
  • does not work with the Commodore A2090 hard disk controller - CSA has its own hard disk system for the card
