hi guys

has anyone got the software / disk for this ancient hardware :-)

cheers
mike

Solid State Leisure, UK
Date
1992
Amiga
A500, A2000
Interface
68000 socket
processor
68030 @ 25 or 68EC030 @ 40 MHz, PGA
optional 68882 @ 25 - 50 MHz, PGA
memory
1 MB RAM installed, expandable to 4 MB
32 DIP sockets
takes 256k×4, 80 ns or faster DIPs
non-autoconfiguring
hardware maprom
notes
does not support DMA to its 32 bit RAM - DMAfix solves this
after a reboot, DMA into Zorro II memory larger than 512 bytes causes the machine to hang - DMAfix helps here too
68000 fallback mode - the software can switch from 68030 to 68000 but cannot switch back, the machine has to be switched off
memory is not available in fallback mode

This review makes it seem like there was no software as it wasn't mentioned for installation... just speculation :/

Correction:

"The various benchmark programs included with the board (CalcPi,
Ronin CPU speed, Whetstone, another version of Mips)..."

I've made ADF's of the 2 disks that came with it, and another ADF of my boot floppy I use for degrading, adding mem, re-kicking to 1.3. Where can I upload them to?

You could upload them to The Zone.

I'll have to make a few more posts before my EAB account has the permissions to upload to the zone... unless a mod can fast track my account.

If you'd like to upload it to sendspace or similar I would be happy to download it and upload it to the Zone for you.

I must say though, that this looks like a pretty poor accelerator. Only 4mb Fast, no DMA, and non-autoconfig...
