Manufacturer Ronin / IMtronics, USA | Date 1987 | Amiga A1000 | Interface 68000 socket |
- processor
- 68020 / 68030 @ 14.3 MHz, PGA
- the 68030 needs a small passive adaptor board (contains only the PGA socket and some pull-up resistors)
- the 68020 connects directly to its socket, without the adaptor
- 68881 @ 16 or 20 MHz, PGA
- the board does not work without the FPU
- optional memory board - H1-Memory
- 32 DIP sockets accept up to 4 MB RAM
- possible configurations are 1, 2, 3, 4 MB with 256k×4 DIPs
- does not autoconfig the memory, AddMem software is necessary
- although the memory is mapped inside the 68000 memory space, it is not DMA-able
- has problems with external memory expansions (for example the early revisions of Golem RAM Box do not work)
- notes
- connects into the 68000 socket
- no 68000 fallback mode
- does not fit into the A500 / A2000
- compatible with the A1060 Sidecar expansion

Manufacturer Ronin / IMtronics, USA | Date 1988 | Amiga A2000 | Interface CPU slot |
- processor
- 68020 @ 14 / 28 MHz, PGA (synchronous with the A2000)
- optional PGA FPU (asynchronous)
- optional memory board - H2-Memory
- 32 DIP sockets accept up to 16 MB RAM
- possible configurations are 1, 2, 3, 4 MB with 256k×4 DIPs or 4, 8, 12, 16 MB with 1M×4 DIPs
- DIPs must have at least 70 ns access time
- memory does not autoconfig, software is needed
- although the memory is mapped into the Zorro II memory space, it is not DMA-able
- rules out other memory expansions in A2000-A
- notes
- 68000 fallback mode
- older revisions needed the 68000 to be removed which made the fallback mode impossible
- the AddBuffers command in the Startup-Sequence may cause hard disk errors - the command has to be removed
- compatibility problems with Kickstart 2.0

Manufacturer Ronin / IMtronics, USA | Date 1989 & 1990 | Amiga A2000 | Interface CPU slot | Autoconfig ID 1028 / 57,874136 / 57,87 |
- processor
- Hurricane 2800:
- 68030 @ 28 MHz (synchronous with the A2000), PGA
- optional 68882 up to 33 MHz (asynchronous), PGA
- Hurricane 2800 Mk2:
- 68030 @ 28 / 36 / 50 MHz (asynchronous), PGA
- optional 68882 @ 16 / 25 / 33 / 40 MHz (clocked asynchronous to 68030), PGA
- optional memory board - H2-Memory
- 32 DIP sockets accept up to 16 MB RAM
- possible configurations are 1, 2, 3, 4 MB with 256k×4 DIPs or 4, 8, 12, 16 MB with 1M×4 DIPs
- DIPs must have at least 70 ns access time
- does not support the burst mode of the 68030
- does not support DMA to its memory
- does not autoconfig, memory is configured by software at startup
- SCSI controller
- 50 pin internal header
- autoboot ROM
- does not support the RDB protocol
- notes
- 68000 fallback mode - can be activated with jumper P2
- the SCSI controller stays active and autoboots even in 68000 fallback mode
- a boot menu can be reached by holding the right mouse button during startup

Manufacturer Winner's Circle Systems / Ronin, USA | Date 1988 | Amiga A2000 | Interface CPU slot |
- CPU board adaptor
- allows A1000 processor boards to be used in the A2000
- just a bare 68000 socket on an A2000 style processor card
- works with almost all those A1000 cpu socket boards, for example the Ronin Hurricane
- too wide boards do not fit inside the A2000 case
