    processor
  • 68030 @ 16 / 25 / 28 / 33 / 50 MHz, PGA
  • 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
    • 16 - 33 MHz boards support 1 MB SIMMs only, possible configurations are 2, 4 and 8 MB
    • 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 memory and IDE controller is also deactivated in fallback mode

  • small 1" by 3" board that connects to the 68000's socket
  • fits in the CDTV if a shallow IDE connector is used
  • AdIDE 44 (Novia) for 2.5" internal drives
    • covers the Paula and CIA A chips
    • mounting brackets and screws are supplied for mounting the hard disk inside an A500
  • AdIDE 40 (Prima) for 3.5" drives
    • drives can be fitted into an A500 in place of the built-in floppy drive using the Shuffle Board
  • autobooting (adide.device or icdide.device) - requires at least Kickstart 1.3
  • autobooting is problematic with the CDTV - either a boot floppy has to be used (which a bare CDTV lacks), or after a reset by selecting the hard disk in the Early Startup Menu (which require at least Kickstart 2.0)
  • incompatible with Western Digital and IBM hard disks
  • AdIDE 44 rules out accelerators that connect to the 68000's socket due to mechanical constraints
  • AdIDE 40 is compatible with processor expansions if the AdIDE is fitted below the accelerator - reported to be functional in A500 are CSA Derringer and Mega-Midget Racer, as well as Microbotics VXL*30
  • older software revisions work only with 68000 processor cards
  • A-Max II driver (icddiskide.amhd)

    IDE controller
  • special edition of the Buddha Flash IDE controller that is intended to be used with the Phoenix A1000 motherboard, but can also be used with original A1000 as well as A500 and Zorro Amigas
  • differences to Buddha Flash:
    • smaller PCB
    • hardware redesign, 5 chips instead of 8
    • no 26 pin expansion slot
    • floppy power connector
  • the board can be installed in the following places:
    • Front Slot Phoenix Board
    • Side Expansion Port (Phoenix board, A1000 board, A500)
    • Zorro Slot
  • if the board shall be used at the A500, a special edition with a different mounted 86 pin connector is needed
  • the board must not be installed in the front slot of the A1000 board
  • when used at the Phoenix front slot, the INT6 signal has to be provided to the board as this signal is missing - the side expansion ports provide that signal, so the wire is not necessary when installed there
  • height of the board was chosen so that a laptop CD drive (14mm) can be fitted above the card in the A1000
  • when installed on the Phoenix board front slot, the L64 jumper has to be removed
  • 2.5" hard disks can not be powered by the board due to thin PCB tracks - making them thick enough for that purpose would have been resulted in a more expensive multilayer board
    • it is necessary to provide power to the board via floppy power connector
  • in conjunction with a Phoenix X-Surf a new Mach chip is needed (includes also a fix which prevented the Amiga from booting with Kickstart v1.3)
  • only one jumper on the board, next to the flash chip: open = flash write protected, closed = flashing possible
  • small header in the middle of the board with two LED connectors
  • clock port
    • allows using expansions initially designed for the A1200 clock port
    • when installed in Zorro slot, pin 40 of the card's clock port is towards the front side of the computer, pin 19 resp. pin 1 towards the rear side
    • marked wire of clock port expansions go to pin 19 or pin 40, depending on the manufacturer's definition - e.g. expansions made by Individual Computers are installed with the red stripe on pin 40 (to the left), expansions of E3B mark pin 19 / pin 1 (to the right)

  • does not support ISA DMA transfers (which is required for PC floppies)
  • SANA-II drivers for NE1000 and NE2000 compatible ISA network cards are supplied
  • supported by OpenBSD
    IDE controller
  • autoboot ROM (xlide.device)
  • supports the RDB standard, but filesystems are not loadable from the RDB
  • can use an MFM / RLL 16 bit controller instead of the IDE interface
    serial interface
  • two onboard serial ports (xlser.device)
  • can be activated by plugging in one or two 8250, 16450 or 16550A UART chips
  • DB25 and DB9 connectors
