I wish I still had a 2000 to try one of these out! It is so cool to see all the new hardware that has been coming out for Amigas in recent years. What other 35+ year old platform sees this kind of action these days?

Still one of the best Amiga tech channels for my money - thanks Allen.

I hope so :)

Hey :) Thanks for the test. I think bustest is also an interessant benchmark. Cheers

Cool video and very cool card. I just got a 2000EATX board and decided on this accelerator. DJCook built me a card which is with DHL now. Exciting times. Keep up the cool videos. Not many on this particular card. Only 1 other from Retronaut.

Hello, and Welcome 😀 That phrase always reminds me of Alien Breed, perhaps that is where you quoted this from ?

Great video, I really like it and appreciate your work. What kind of Workbench enhancement do u you use, which icons and which fonts?

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! This too, is appreciated. I use Magic Workbench. OS 3.2 comes with the Glow Icons as an option during the install, but I was never a fan of that look, so I stuck with Magic Workbench (MWB). The System Icons come with it, the rest are from various Aminet archives. MWB was very popular back in the day, thus there are many available Icon packs. I also use Tools Menu for the Workbench menu system. Most of my Workbench Fonts are either Zen or XHelvetica. They come as part of MUI (Magical User Interface), another must have for the Amiga Classic Computers.

Very powerful card. Just a few notes: although you got the latest, C revision on 68030, thermal output of 0,8 micron is safe without cooling only on stock 50Mhz, so maybe you should slap a nice copper heatsink with few ribs of fins. Next, there's new version of maprom tool (v1.12 from 06.06.2024) which enable AutoBoot ROM update (lide.device) from lideupdate command (no need to take out flash out of PLCC socket and dig out TL866). The last one, you can try to move Kickstart from ROM to 32-bit RAM using maprom kickrom command. I'd guess you could reach very close to 10MB mark and squeze a bit better MIPS score.

@amigaretro4765 26 дней назад

Thanks for the suggestions. I plan on adding a passive heatsink in the near future. I am using MULibs from Aminet, and from that, the MuFastRom option. This copies and maps the Kickstart into 32-bit Fast Memory. I will definitely try the newer MapRom tool. New software is always fun, especially when it adds features. Programming the Boot ROM from a command prompt versus having to physically remove it (like I did the last time) is a great addition to this already great card.

Brilliant, love seeing new boards for old machines.

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

It's really awesome to see the support and devotion Developers have for the platform. It never ceases to amaze me.

@MrGareth1973 Месяц назад

Thx for the video! Side question: what mod do you have for the 2mb chipram? thx

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

It's the ACE 2B from individual Computers. They are still available: icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/produkt-details/product/ace2.html

@meruginger934 Месяц назад

damn, I totally missed that this thing now has sata and M2...I have to replace my prototype card with a newer version...

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

There are several PCB versions, the one featured in my Video is the fully loaded version. mSATA works well, a bit faster access than the CF Card. I may try the M.2 SATA again with the CD-ROM to see if I can get it to work. Future Boot ROM updates may resolve this. For now, I am using the Buddha Controller - 20th Anniversary Edition for CD-ROM access.

Hi. What is de name of the tool that let you put programs into the menu bar? I used something like that in the ninnies but I can't find it anywhere.

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

It's called Tools Daemon. It comes with the installer and needed libraries: aminet.net/package/util/boot/ToolsDaemon21a It is recommended that you download and install this patch after you have 2..1a installed , for improved O.S compatibility: aminet.net/package/util/boot/ToolsDaemon22

Se ho capito bene quella scheda in origine ha una CPU 030ec a 40 mhz,ma e' aggiornata al 030 a 50 mhz,questo spiega perche il socket FPU e plcc e non pga

@amigaretro4765 Месяц назад

You can order the card with fall 68030, which is binned from the factory rated at 40 MHz, which can clock up to 60 if desired. I opted to install one of my spare 68030s rated at 50 MHz, since I planned on overclocking the CPU to 60 MHz, just incase :)
