Using more features would mean having more IOs. Zeus68k uses _all_ of them, there is not a single pin unused. Within these boundaries, you can do whatever you like. Whatever control you would like to have... you have an FPGA between the board, the processor and the RAM. That's why there are so many features already in it.

My A1200 will be jealous!!

7 plus pages of messages about this project. Can anyone summarize where it stands now and what I have to do to get on the list of people who wants to order one for my CDTV?

Any pictures of how it will fit into the CDTV available anywhere?

Is there a website for this project setup somewhere already?

Sorry I didn't have time to look through all 7 pages of messages here on this topic.

Is this selectable?

Anyhow, I would be interested in one for my CDTV actually, if it fits (because of the cover).

Im also wery interested to see if this will fit in the CDTV

I guess you will have to move the capacitor close to the cpu socket.

No, as it's been made for an 68k DIL socket.

It should work in all devices that have a DIL socket. .

a nice little adapter could fix it to allow it to sit inside an A600

Three boards have been built. Currently software is being refined.

Yes, different speed settings, Kickstart and other stuff are available from the boot menu.

Exactly. One capacitor will need to be "updated". These caps are nearly dead anyway, so replacing them (and picking a smaller one with same values for this one) is a good thing anyway...

Yes but might be a space problem. We might do another production run for
A600... If there is interest and we can source socket adapters.

Feel free to use the profile names I suggested earlier

AmigaDave · 26 August 2012, 12:26

Thanks mr. vince for the summary and extra info.

Please put me on any list you might have as someone who is interested in buying at least one of these accelerators.

I will try to visit this thread more often to see if there is any new information available.

BvdW · 31 August 2012, 17:23

Ooohhh.. want! Definitely! Does this fit into a rev 5 A500?

mr.vince · 31 August 2012, 20:00

It's an A 500... right?

Charlie · 31 August 2012, 20:42

Ooo, fantastic bit of kit. Well done those developers! :-D

Please count me in for one. (A500+ just in case it matters)

BvdW · 04 September 2012, 23:17

Count me in, but only if it fits together with an indivison ECS.

05 September 2012, 11:28

Count me in to! Great work!

05 September 2012, 13:42

Nice! im intrested in one.

grobda · 05 September 2012, 16:11

+1 to the interest list... +2 if it will work with an ST

price dependent...

1time · 05 September 2012, 16:41

Any new pictures of the board or the progress?

05 September 2012, 21:09

Nice piece of hardware! Interested in two if the price will be reasonable.

mr.vince · 05 September 2012, 22:10

Anyone willing to make a guess about the little hardware sitting there in the back of this A500, with the Zeus68k installed over it?
