  • optional 68882 @ 16 - 50 MHz, PGA - can be clocked at different speed than the CPU
    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
    • 60 ns SIMMs are required for 50 MHz, 70 ns for 33 MHz, 80 ns for 25 MHz

    • 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

  • the VXL RAM-32 board needs a VXL-030 rev3.0 board, older revisions (v1.0 and v2.0) must be upgraded (exchange of 10 ICs)
  • 2 or 8 MB RAM using sixteen 256k×4 or 1M×4 DIP chips
  • Kickstart socket for a 2.04 ROM - not accessed in 68000 mode
  • hardware maprom even from the motherboard ROM
  • burst RAM access selectable with a jumper - works only with 60 ns page mode DIPs
  • RAM access speed selectable with a jumper, 60 or 80 ns
  • the address space of the memory can be set inside or outside of the 68000 memory space
  • if set inside, DMA is supported into the 32 bit RAM
  • in 68000 mode the RAM is still usable, it just becomes 16 bit wide
    notes
  • the 68000 fallback mode is switchable either by software or jumper
  • connects into the 68000 socket - the 68000 is replaced onto the board

  • supports 4, 8, 16, 32 MB SIMMs, 60-80 ns
  • 64 bit interleaved RAM access if identical SIMMs are installed in alternate banks (U312 / U314 and U313 / U315)
  • only SIMMs with 1K refresh rate are supported (SIMMs with 4K refresh rate don't work)
    Fast SCSI 2 controller
  • 10 MB/s max transfer speed
  • 50 pin internal header
  • 50 pin external high density connector
  • uses wildfirescsi.device

    processor
  • 68040 @ 28 / 33 MHz
    memory
  • sixteen 30 pin SIMM sockets accept 64 MB RAM
  • supports 1 or 4 MB SIMMs 60-80 ns
  • accepts SIMMs in groups of four
  • not all of the memory is autoconfigured - requires software
    SCSI 2 controller
  • 53C710 controller IC
  • 50 pin internal header
  • DB25 external connector
  • 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
  • supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD
    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
