A1200 8MB Fast Ram Card + FPU @ 40mhz

Zetr0 · 20 February 2010, 15:56

Hello there my fellow forum chummies

Recently I posted this on AmiBay -

My good friend has asked me to sell on his 8MB Fast Ram Card with FPU for the A1200

I have the card in my possesion and I am fully authorised to complete any deals on my friends behalf.

(Stock Photo thanks to amiga.resrouce.cx - Actual pictures to come soon)

The abive is a stock photo, as such it does not include the following

A 33mhz 68882NF33 @ 40mhz FPU -
Tested rendering in Imagine for over an Hour

8MB 60ns RAM -
Tested by sysinfo and gvp memory test

This is a great little update and will litterally double the speed of your A1200 as well as give it an FPU so you can dabble in much faster ray-tracing and FPU based 3d graphical demo's

Limmitations

This card *when configured to 8MB* conflicts with the PCMCIA port, as such should that you need to use the PCMCIA port (network card / compactflash adapter) then you will need to configure the card to 4MB
(you do not need to change the SIMM)

This can be yours for the princely sum of £40 + postage =)

PM now - operators standing by -

drinking coffee... and reviewing hardware pron..... =D

any chance your card have red pcb? (im after that just for cusiosity

Zetr0 · 20 February 2010, 16:30

Alas no my friend,

its just the basic - licensed *green* hawkboard I believe (not 100% but I think it was an AmTek design... it might of been Marpet.. just not sure sir.)

Zetr0 · 20 February 2010, 16:34

hmmm

AmTek - 1993
Marpet - 1995

I would say the Marpet 1207 was certainly licensed from AmTek as the HAWK board is identical, with exception to colour.

Zetro, can you do me a favour and check what kind of simm is in the card.

Lorfarius had problems with some of the simms he tried to use and could only get 4MB:

Just need to know if it's single or double sided, EDO or FP - you already said 60ns. In other words, what are the markings on the chips?

Might as well use this opportunity to help him out.

Zetr0 · 20 February 2010, 16:50

Sure buddy -

it is based on 16 chips (*8 per side*) HY51440AA (Hyundai) 60ns CMOS DRAM - 1Mx4

its not EDO of FPM

The card here is has been run tested with an a generic 4 chip 8MB EDO SIM 60ns as well

Alas the smallest FPM modules I have are single sided 16MB varients.

Bloodwych · 20 February 2010, 16:53

Nice one thanks - I'll link him this info in that thread above.

there is an entry for this card on amiga.resource.cx called the Apollo Lite although no picture.

It might be worth sending a nice hires one to the amiga.resource team.

the Apollo lite is infact a reduced version of the Apollo 1200

(photo thanks to amiga.resource.cx)

As you can see both cards have identical PCB's alas the Apollo A1200 "Lite", doesn't have the Fast SCSI2 portion of the card.

the information on the card (Apollo A1200) doens't state if this is a DMA based card, allthogh knowing ACT's inplementation of SCSI on thier other cards I seriously doubt it.

>there is an entry for this card on amiga.resource.cx called the Apollo Lite although no picture

Oups...

>It might be worth sending a nice hires one to the amiga.resource team

I have just got hold of two of these 8 MB Marpet A1200 RAM Expansion boards but neither of them have FPU sockets let alone FPU's fitted - guess they must just be budget versions but I have never seen either a red or green 8 meg ram expansion without at least a socket...
