Manufacturer Akron Systems Development | Date 1985 | Amiga A1000 | Interface parallel port |
- clock
- a simple battery backed up clock
- only a couple of components are on the board - the ICs are a SARONIX RTC58321B and a SN7400N
- A-Time remains active until the clock is read (by issuing the Read-RTC program from CLI or the Startup-Sequence), after that it becomes inactive and the parallel port is passed through transparently
- without Read-RTC it will be automatically disabled when output is detected (eg. towards a printer)
- when inactive, it's not possible to read or set the clock until the next reset or startup
- early versions were hanging down from the parallel port, conflicting with the A1300 genlocks so later it was changed to hang upturned

- in 14 MHz mode the Kickstart ROM can be also driven at 14 MHz
- optional battery backed up clock
- connects to the 68000's socket
- works in the A2000, but the battery on the motherboard has to be relocated

- eight DIP sockets for 1 or 2 MB Chip RAM
- 1 MB Chip RAM: 8 256k×4 DIPs have to be installed
- 2 MB Chip RAM: 4 1M×4 DIPs occupy sockets U6, U8, U10 and U12, jumper J103 has to be set
- the motherboard Chip RAM becomes true (not pseudo) Fast RAM
- motherboard RAM addressing can be changed with jumpers to avoid conflicts with other internal RAM expansions - only one address supports autoconfiguring, the others require software
- supports the expansion of motherboard RAM to 1 MB (piggyback hack)
- Kickstart ROM socket
- Kickstart source (disk or ROM) can be selected by a switch
- battery backed up clock - disabled if other expansions have also a clock installed
- A2000 style video slot subset (audio and parallel support missing):
- compatible with the Microway AGA-2000 and Commodore A2320 flicker-fixers
- if necessary, the missing signals can be fed to the video slot by connecting wires from the mainboard - the necessary eyelets are already existent and labeled
- replaces the WCS daughterboard in NTSC and early PAL A1000s (later PAL A1000s have no such daughterboard, therefore they are not supported)
- Agnus, Paula and Denise have to be removed, the latter two goes to the Rejuvenator
- support for ECS Denise - together with Big Agnus, a full ECS chipset is present
- connects to the motherboard with some of the existing WCS connections and with custom connectors to the empty custom chip sockets
- no modifications are required to the motherboard, only three jumper wires have to be connected

Manufacturer Ingenieurbuero Steffen Raach | Date 1996 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface special (see text), mouse port |
- mouse interface adapter
- allows the connection of PC mice and trackballs by converting PC mouse protocols to Amiga format
- does not require software - the conversion is done by a microprocessor (basic movements and the three mouse buttons)
- supports Microsoft two-button and Logitech three-button compatible serial mice and trackballs
- wheel movements are not supported
- Punchinello is a name variation by Power Computing
Manufacturer Computer System Associates | Date 1986 | Amiga A1000 | Interface special (see text), |
- processor card - Turbo Amiga CPU (CSA 00920)
- 68020 and 68881 @ 14.3 MHz, PGA, synchronous
- both chips are overclocked 12 MHz units
- when addressing the Amiga custom chips or the motherboard memory, the 68020 throttles back to 7 MHz
- 68000 fallback mode selectable by jumper
- optional static memory card - Turbo Amiga Memory (CSA 00919)
- 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 I 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 A1000
- sixteen 32 pin DIP sockets for up to 512 kB static RAM
- takes 32k×8, 100 ns SRAM chips in groups of four
- does not autoconfig its memory
- multiple Turbo Amiga Memory cards can be installed

Manufacturer W.A.W. Elektronik | Date 1994 | Amiga CDTV | Interface 68000 socket |
- processor
- 68020 @ 14.28 MHz PGA, clocked synchronously with the motherboard
- optional PGA FPU, from 68881 @ 14.28 MHz (synchronous) to 68882 @ 50 MHz (asynchronous, with separate oscillator)
- notes
- provides no memory expansion but it is shaped to fit around all other W.A.W. products including the BigRAM CD RAM expansions
- connects to the 68000 socket, the 68000 is replaced onto the board
- fast Kickstart ROM access
- a wire has to be connected to Gary chip (pin 26)
- processor cache disable jumper
- for BigRAM CD8 compatibility, a GAL (supplied) has to be exchanged on the CD8
- on some motherboard revisions, BigRAM CD8 and Turbo CD have to be connected by soldering a wire in order to have all Fast RAM of the CD8 available
- 68000 fallback mode, can be set by jumper
