Individual Computers - New accelerator cards for A600 & A1200 - Page 79

Would a A500 card work with all revisions of the motherboard; rev 3 to 8?

Only if I'd hand out the jedec file, but this is of course something that I would not do. I'm sure that an experienced ASIC designer appreciates the need to protect intellectual property.

Sure, but let's save that discussion for the day when I actually get to testing the first prototype. I have some nasty ideas for chipmem access...

A clockport would be nice on the A500 turbo

Predseda · 10 January 2011, 19:32

Just installed ACA 630 and I am SO excited! God bless Individual Computers!

Bamiga2002 · 10 January 2011, 19:33

I suspect that he used the HAM video player that is discussed here;

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ight=ham+video

The vid looks good BTW

Jens, thanks again! Since you said the jumper is hot swappable I've created a small switch where I can turn it on/off.
I'm very happy the way it is now!!
As you see, no fancy icons yet (nor a fancy monitor hehe), but that's about to change!!! w00hoo00

Way to go!

Oh and of course I changed the way the IDE was bungling in the system (since I read here about the high temperatures)

Edit: +1 for the video's guys.. dream machine!

Vairn · 10 January 2011, 22:29

haha, that TV is smaller the the a600.
My a1200 is jealous, it wants that extra 6mhz on the 030.
*maybe I should sell my 030/50/scsi... hmm.

Predseda · 11 January 2011, 08:58

Jens, just for curiosity:

If I disable ACA630 with the jumper, does it mean, that it is completelly off the electricity, so the CPU and the whole card doesn't produce any activity and heat? Or it is any kind of bridge, that uses the board partially in any way?

Power is still applied, but the card is completely invisible to the computer. No part of the board has any function for the computer.

I'm having some problems with whdload with the aca1230.
I guess i have to do some tweaks using the acatuner.

Are there actually a forum thread of people with whdload or other problems and what they did to fix things?

Do you have ACATune as first thing in yor Startup-Sequence.
Have you tried latest Beta, posted in this thread?

No and No,
It looked like in the manual, that if you had kickstart 3.1, it was autoconfigured.
So haven't used ACA tune yet.
For the newest beta. This thread is quite long and even though i've been following it for some time, i might have missed it

That's why i think that it would be nice if there were a thread for each of the two ACA cards, which where more minded on trouble shooting and tweaking then "thank you" and "thats great!!!"

Nikolaj_sofus · 11 January 2011, 21:09

Figured that the problems with the 1230 comes more from my miggy... just hoped it was my old acc. board

But just got a chance to test the ACA630-30 a bit... it runs great so far

only thing i've experienced, was that "Overscan" guru's, but don't really think thats a bit problem.

The a600 will by far be my favorite whdload machine, when up running

ADoom V1.4 with Indivision GFX support for Indivision ECS is uploaded to Aminet. So all those new ACA630 users here with Indivision ECS can now play ADoom in 256 colours with faster graphics.

NovaCoder · 12 January 2011, 10:20

Great job Oliver, this is the kind of thing that needs to happen in the classic market to maintain interest

Running AROS on an Amiga 1200 with an ACA1230/56.

I really appreciate the extra RAM and the MAPROM feature!

Hopefully soon Toni and I will get HD support working, and I can post a picture of the Wanderer (aka Workbench for AROS) desktop.

I have two problems with the ACA630.

1. The only way I can use PCMCIA port if I disable all jumpers, but then I get a DF0???? Icon on my workbench. I have no diskdrive in my amiga.

2. Where can I download the Acatune tool, It´s not at www.icomp.de.
The card is real slow for me now, please help.
