How wide is this Jens?
I have my A500 on a pull out shelf under a desk which is 23.25" (590mm) wide, this leaves 4.75" (120mm) for the ACA500 to stick out, any more and it won't fit! |

Apparently the CDTV has the same address lines on the diagnostic port as the A500. If the ACA could be connected to that port, would it work?

Noooo!!
That's my Christmas pressie up in smoke then An ACA500 + ACA1232 40Mhz would have been a fun upgrade for my A500 to mess about with over the holidays Not sure plugging/unplugging it each time I want to use it (as when the shelf is pulled out there's plenty of space for it to sit) is a good idea though? The less insertion/removal cycles the longer the connector will last and it will become a pain in the arse eventually. It can't swap places with my A1200 as that fits perfectly on the top of the desk with my Samsung monitor, but put the A500 on top and it overhangs 115mm from the front of the desk Now we see a reason why this needs to fit INTERNALLY @prowler: So you're making me a new desk so it fits then? Mate, that's really generous of you, can't wait to see it |

I've updated my article with availability date (12 Dec) and links to 3 webshops. It seems you can place an order already, at least on Amigakit?
If someone knows they will be sold elsewhere also I'm sure a tip here would be appreciated. |

Those 1.8M expansions have been very popular, at least in Germany. I find it important to mention compatibility with them: They work with the ACA500, but you can't turn a part (or all) of them into Chipram. Jens |

Thanks for the explanation.
Still wondering why it shows 504-506 KB though. And I'm not talking about free memory; Sysinfo shows 512 KB chip mem and 506 KB slow mem. But I guess that's another topic. |

Last 6k is reserved by exec for supervisor mode stack before memory is added.

Here's some brain food for those who like to hack and who like to get down to the lowest level of coding/hardware development. Let's see if there's anyone here who can reduce the "minimal MMU" the required way, or who can explain the IRQ vector relocation feature. I bet that there's one or two hardware developers reading here who wonder how I crammed all this into 72 macrocells... http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/File:Inside_ACA500.pdf Jens |
