WicherCD32

[spidi]

Coming soon my new product WicherCD32.





WicherCD32 for Amiga CD32 offers up to 10MB Fast Ram (SIMM72 module), Clock Port socket, IDE controller.

Cool, but 10mb fast ram? I assume thats using a 16mb sim so why not 16?

Probably an obvious answer to this so forgive my hardware noobness.

To get 10MB Fast Ram you should use SIMM 16MB or larger.
The EC020 processor supports max. 16MB address space, AmigaCD32 leaves ~ 11MB.

Yay for clock-port!

(if only there was an easily available ethernet solution for the clock port, nudge nudge)

EDIT: What riser card is that? I don't recall seeing one with caps on before

[cip060]

Does not Quindo have a faster processor?
I was hoping he had a processor like the witcher's for amiga 500 to 50 MHZ !!!
All the time I keep my terrible fire at this point if the processor remains that
I was hoping for an accelerator

[Leffmann]

The first 8M RAM appear at $20 0000 I guess, but where in the address map do the remaining 2M fit in?

You can use this solution SPI MasterBus CP

This is prototype of this product

In the picture above you can see the address spaces used.

nice ! the prototype shown dhrystone result : 1274
[ Show youtube player ]

and my TF328 Dhrystone 2814


did you made another sys info benchmark ? is it cause the memory speed ?

[cip060]

Same performance with the terrible fire so apart from the clock door same performance
2-90 also with terrible fire and the fast ram that from those performances the only 1200 without ram from less

[thairacerjp]

thanks for "quick fast ram" answer ! hope one day we could see a cpu (or network) cause so much Amiga have accelerators, it seems it's a place problem but the CD32 have place for it, anyway, it's a good news

My card is a bit slower due to compatibility with different memories.

Yup. That’s why I don’t put simm sockets on my cards. To be compatible you need to slow things down too much

A small compromise, at least the problem of searching for fast DRAMs or expensive SRAMs is gone.

Ar u using regular slow 70ns EDO RAM SIMM?

[spidi]

Small upgrade.
Now WicherCD32 supports 11.5MB Fast Ram and MAPROM function

I tested 50 and 60ns.

[Nibbler]

Awesome stuff & MapRom should give it extra performance

Does the CD32 Wicher feature a RGB output?
Would be extra sweet

[DDNI]

A riser with serial port would be great.
