CPU slot
  • 68HC000 @ 28 MHz
  • 16 kB static RAM cache
    • without the cache, the processor would only access the Amiga's memory at 7 MHz
    • only programs loaded into Fast RAM are available for caching
  • disable switch
  • can be slowed down by software to 7.14 MHz without rebooting
  • A500 version:
    • connects to the side expansion port
    • passthrough connector
  • A2000 version:
    • connects to the CPU slot
    • not compatible with the Commodore BridgeBoards

    SCSI Controller
  • internal hard disk controller for the Zorro II bus
  • features a 5380 SCSI Controller IC and a Motorola MC68440 DMA Controller IC
  • uses DMA transfers
  • autoboot ROM - autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
  • 50 pin internal header
  • DB25 external connector
  • hard disk activity LED connector
  • three mounting holes for attaching a SCSI to ST-506 adapter
    Notes
  • one example of the early DMA designs, uses a non-DMA SCSI controller together with a 68k DMA controller as I/O transfer engine - the performance was lacking, therefore for the later generations, Supra switched to a design with programmed I/O (PIO) with the same SCSI controller chip which resulted in increased CPU load (no DMA transfers)

    SCSI controller
  • 53C80 controller IC
  • uses polled I/O, not DMA transfer
  • to reduce CPU load the controller buffers two 8 bit transfers from the hard disk and transfers them as 16 bit to memory
  • autoboot ROM (suprascsi.device) - autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
  • automounts FFS volumes only
  • 50 pin internal header
  • DB25 external connector
  • place for a 3.5" hard disk on the card
  • the hard disk takes its power directly from the power supply not the card itself
  • A-Max II driver
  • supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD
  • series III:
    • RDB compatible
    • unlike former revisions this one automounts all volumes
  • no RAM option
  • hard disk activity LED connector
  • hard frame
