Truly an awesome job!!

Chucky, amazing work, and a massive contribution to the Amiga community! Thank you!

BTW, thank you(!) for all your hard work revamping the A3640 into the A3660--am the very happy and grateful owner of one.

Thanks too to tbtorro for his excellent component-populating work on your A3660 boards.

I say all this, as the A3660 is the only new '060-based accelerator option out there for the Amiga 3000 and 4000.

Statusupdate:

the board now starts DiagROM. but crashes when ram is starting to be used. working on it! PROGRESS!

I prefer to wait for the final revision Chuky the one with simms sockets instead of zip ram and woth your mods, leds and other stuff you might add.

Chucky · 03 July 2019, 20:02

ETA for those: Amiga34

Chucky · 07 July 2019, 19:52

I will soon do a RC1 (releasecandidate 1) order of the PCBs.. I cannot guarantee patching would not be needed but it will have all issues I so far found on the testboard fixed.. I USUALLY do not take prepayments but as I just moved and it was costly I haveno funds to do this.. IS there an interest of such pcbs? price would be aprox 80eur each.+ shipping to you. (guess 20eur trackable worldwide)

Amiga3000 PCB RC1 Prepayment

Ok if you want to be a really REALLY Earlybird.. you can do a prepayment for a A3000 PCB.
NOTE This is not the ReAmiga 3000 this will be the 1:1 clone of the A3000 with only INT2 fixed onboard and onboard leds. nothing more. this IS a Releasecandidate so there MIGHT be patches needed later.
ALL patches from my TESTVERSION is already applied. This will also most likly be the only run where most signals is marked on the bottom silkscreen with its name on every hole it exists on.

Color will be blue with enig (goldish) Shipping is around 25eur tracked, worldwide for ONE pcb.
35 for 2-3 pcbs.

HOW to do this? You send me e message for PayPal information. You pay me 80eur per pcb plus shipping (you do the maths) you also send me a MAIL to that address used in the PayPal payment with subject "A3000" containing the sum you paid and your address. <-- THIS IS IMPORTANT!

SEND AS EUROS NOT IN SEK PLEASE!. friend and family or add 3% to cover paypal fees.
Swedes can use Swish to pay me aswell.

then you will get information when PCBs is ordered, packed, shipped from china and when I ship it to you.

when a BOM is finished, you will get that in the mail aswell.
CPU and FPU is surfacemount, the rest is TH technology.. there will be just a blank PCB. YOU get the rest (from a dead board or so)
PCB order will be done when PCB is finished, and that will be done during this coming weekend.

Chucky · 18 July 2019, 22:11

Being friendly as I am.. here is the A3000-P5 edition.
simply the A3000 sprint data and gerbers.. sliiightly ungrounded..

http://www.hertell.nu/files/A3000-P5Edition.zip

Chucky · 18 July 2019, 23:39

Anyway that sprintdata can be used to find issues when repairing batteryleakage etc.. inner layers will just simply not be there. that will be released at Amiga34..

Chucky · 09 August 2019, 22:18

New revision. boots.. no patches so far. . runs 030 demo.. looking good!.
this is the version I sell on Amibay etc.

NovaCoder · 10 August 2019, 05:54

Hi Chucky,

Do you have a spec list for the ReAmiga 3000 published yet? What will it improve over the original Commodore board?

I really hope someone can pick up this exciting project and offer fully populated boards for purchase

Chucky · 11 August 2019, 13:19

I haven't decided what to do on the ReAmiga 3000 yet..
HOWEVER:
