    IBM XT emulation
  • 8088 @ 4.77 MHz
  • optional 8087 FPU
  • sixteen DIP sockets for up to 512 kB RAM - 256 kB is preinstalled in eight of the sockets
  • supports 256k×1 150 ns or faster DIPs, in 128, 256, 512 kB configurations
  • RAM can be expanded up to 640 kB using a RAM expansion card in an XT slot
  • 128 kB dual port RAM visible by both the Amiga and PC (8 kB for mono display, 32 kB for colour display, 16 kB used for maintenance of records, 64 kB for data exchange, 8 kB used for I/O registers)
  • connects to the side expansion port
  • covers the mouse and game ports, they are passed through to the front of the Sidecar
  • requires the A1000 to be expanded to 512 kB (ie. by the A1050 expansion cartridge)
  • turning on power to the Sidecar unless the Amiga is powered up can seriously damage the Amiga - use the attached power-cord extender so the A1000 is powered through the Sidecar, though this means the A1060 has to be turned on all the time even if it is unused
  • two display modes
    • monochrome: instead of green text on black screen, the Sidecar can display four colours in PC monochrome mode - the colour of text, intensified text and the background are independent of each other and freely adjustable
    • colour: text can be rendered in up to 16 colours, and graphics can be up to 4 colours
    • neither modes support blinking of text
  • can use the Amiga parallel port - it has to be dedicated to either the Amiga or the PC side exclusively
  • printing works only for applications using interrupt handshaking - those writen with busy-wait loops will not work (eg. Print Screen)
  • three XT ISA slots
  • optional 1 MB memory expansion for the Amiga side
  • 360 kB 5.25" floppy drive built in - up to four floppy drives are supported

    Arcnet interface
  • developed from the Ameristar Arcnet Controller
  • Arcnet networking system - old, slow but cheap and reliable, useful for small LANs and simple network sharing
  • Arcnet requires RG62 coaxial cable instead of the RG58 used on Ethernet systems
  • uses 93 ohm terminators opposed to the 50 ohm used by Ethernet
  • the Arcnet interface hybrid chip comes in two different versions, HCY 9058 for bus networks and HCY 9068 for star networks
    • the manual says the card uses a bus network layout with up to 256 nodes but many A2060s has 9068 hybrids for a star network layout allowing only four cards to be connected together
    • to solve this the HCY 9068 can be simply replaced with a HCY 9058 chip
  • interrupt driven (polled I/O) - one interrupt on the Amiga yields into a busy system
  • to reduce traffic the driver uses the Arcnet hardware's four buffer as a single FIFO buffer
  • the badly written driver (a2060.device) has some bugs in the FIFO buffer which results in lost packets and packet collisions - increased traffic on the Arcnet bus
  • manual says 2.5 Mbit/s (300 kB/s) transfer speed but only max 100 kB/s is achievable
  • socket for optional network autoboot ROM
  • bus activity LED connector
  • supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD

  • doubles all 15.75 kHz screen modes to 31.5 kHz
  • HD15 VGA connector
  • enable / disable switch
  • full overscan support
  • dual port static RAM bank - new video and cleaned video are read in and outputted simultaneously
  • although originally designed for the A2000 it works in the A4000
    • some modifications are needed to fit the board securely into the A4000 video slot
    • the board gets confused by some of the doubled AGA modes, and rather passing them through it tries to double them to 55 kHz or above - on these modes the board has to be disabled with the switch
    • it samples 12 bits for each colour, on the A4000 the upper 12 bits of the 24 bit AGA information, so AGA screen modes with more than 32 colours or HAM6 will have the colours quantized to a certain degree

    processor
  • 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

  • the German PALs contained a bug which did not let the buffers between the 68000 bus and the Zorro bus point away from Zorro when a Zorro bus master talked to a Zorro bus target
