68LC040 / 68040 @ 25 MHz
can be upgraded to 50 MHz with the Doubler 4000
general notes
no memory option - slow motherboard RAM access
memory can be added with the X-Calibur memory expansion board
does not support the 040's burst RAM access (7/7/7/7 clock cycles - 14.3 MB/s memory bandwidth)
on many A3640's the electrolyt capacitors are mounted in the wrong direction, reducing lifetime - even the PCB print is wrong
A3640's made by Amiga Technologies have the capacitors in the right direction, but the PCB print is still wrong
A3000 notes
only v3.1 or v3.2 versions of the board work in A3000
v3.1 works but has problems with certain Zorro cards which use DMA
v3.2 works correctly
with Kickstart 2.04 the card does not work with the combination of Ramsey-04 and static column fast RAM
at least bank 0 should be page mode RAM
the combination of Ramsey-07 and DMAC-04 works perfectly
with Kickstart 3.1 there's no such problem

64 bit interleaved RAM access
the Cyberstorm PPC is a bit picky about DRAM Chip Memory Array organization
the card only has 11 address lines, thus only 2048×2048 organized DRAM Memory Arrays are supported
1024×4096 organized chips would need 12 address lines and are not working
the Memory Array organization is given in the chip datasheet and not to be confused with the output bit configuration (e.g. 4M×4) of a DRAM chip
if the chip has the wrong organization, only half of the RAM is recognised

68060 @ 50 MHz or 68040 @ 33 / 40 MHz
can be ordered with no CPU or with a new or a recycled 68060
memory
four 72 pin SIMM sockets accept 128 MB RAM
four 64 pin GVP SIMM sockets for backward compatibility
the 72 pin sockets support 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB SIMMs, the GVP sockets support 4 or 16 MB SIMMs
each 64 pin slot is linked directly to a 72 pin one - only one of them can be used at the same time
cannot mix 4 or 16 MB GVP SIMMs
cannot mix single or double sided 72 pin SIMMs
a double sided 72 pin SIMM rules out two GVP SIMM sockets
supports burst RAM access when SIMMs are installed in pairs
selectable RAM access speed 60-80 ns
Fast SCSI 2 controller
10 MB/s max transfer speed
50 pin internal header
50 pin external high density connector
optional 3.5" hard disk mounting kit
active SCSI termination can be disabled with jumper
the tekscsi2.device is not NSD compliant, it autoboots FFS partitions only - it looks for filesystems in the Kickstart ROM, but it does not care about filesystems loaded into the RDB area
notes
68000 fallback mode with access to the SCSI controller and memory expansion

68040 @ 28 / 33 / 40 MHz
the board was available with an empty CPU socket to put an existing 25 MHz 68040 into it
the 28 MHz 68040 is an overclocked 25 MHz one
memory
A4000: four 72 pin SIMM sockets accepts up to 128 MB RAM
A3000: two 72 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 64 MB RAM
supports 4, 8, 16, 32 MB, 60-80 ns SIMMs
40 MHz version needs 60 ns SIMMs
33 MHZ needs 70 ns
28 MHz needs 80 ns
full 040 burst memory access (4/2/2/2 clock cycles - 64 MB/s memory bandwidth)
configuration
wait-state jumpers for slow SIMMs
jumpers for setting the size of the biggest SIMM
jumpers for double-sided SIMMs
Fast SCSI 2 controller
NCR 53C710 @ 40 MHz
32 bit SCSI host bus DMA interface supporting burst to/from RAM
max 10 MB/s synchronous transfer speed
autoboot ROM (warpdrive.device) - can be disabled by a jumper
incompatible with the A3000's motherboard SCSI controller - replacing the A3000's SCSI chip to rev. 08 solves the problem
external SCSI connector is only available separately
supported by Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD

sixteen 30 pin SIMM sockets accept 64 MB RAM

not all of the memory is autoconfigured - requires software

mounting bracket for attaching a 3.5" hard drive to the back of the card
badly written SCSI driver steals all the CPU time when accessing the devices

notes
at least one group of four SIMMs must be installed in order to use the card
in 68000 fallback mode the autoconfig memory is still useable, it just becomes 16 bit
it's not advised to set more than 2 MB to be autoconfigured
