is the A1200 version going have a full 030 on as well as the A600 ?

must admit after looking at the options the ACA 630/25 does on vesalia it looks better and better

vesalia has much more info than amigakit ????

I asked AmigaKit for proof-reading my English translation, while Vesalia has put their own translation online. Just give it another day until all shops are synced.

Meanwhile, the reference should be www.icomp.de .

Forgot to answer that: The A1200 version is a low-cost card, geared towards replacing overpriced memory expansions. The 99,- EUR price tag is only possible with the EC030 processor.

Just like the A600 card, the MapRom function will work without an MMU, so the main use for an MMU on an Amiga is already in the board logic.

And can I replace EC030 with the full CPU - just pull out one and pust in another?

Why are people already asking about doing weird shit to such fantastic hardware?

Anyway, I still can't decide if I should get the A1200 accelerator or the A600 one. My A1200 already has an 030 and my A600 is stock, then again, the whole combo with the Indie is a bit out of what I want to spend in these compuiters.

Gah, decisions!

That A1200 accelerator looks quite tasty, I think I'll be getting one of those for x-mas.

Sorry if you feel offended, this was just a hypothetical question.

@Predseda
probably but from the looks of it the cpu will be soldered in place.
but unless you run linux then I really don`t see why you would want to do that as jens has done all the cool stuff you would want to do with the MMU on the card already

@Predseda

Why would you need the MMU feature for?

As Jens pointed out the MapROM feature works without the need for an MMU. other than Amix - what would you need an MMU for?

Argualby the EC030 and full core 030 should be replaceable - I cannot see a reason as to why not - since the ACA630 is socketed - however there is a custom heatsink involved so it would best to seek confirmation from Jens.


@Coze

LOL.... "don't even think about overclocking" - now does that mean its running at half that clock (i.e. 25Mhz) or is it running at the full burst of 50Mhz -

the mmu conflicts on certain whdload games and old applications
for retro-compatibility is better a EC cpu
anyways ...unless the mmu-refreshed video drivers of Fusion and Shapeshifter...I can't remember now an interesting application or game that uses the mmu

Just for the feeling. The same reason why I bought and installed FPU to my M-Tec

With the increase in speed from the modern memory, I'm sure there would be a market for a run of 060 cards for the A1200 and A4000. Jens could put together cards which would give you the fastest classic Amiga outside of emulation.

On another note, at least we now know ACA stands for Amiga Classic Accelerator.
