What Happen to 56MHZ Accelerator?

Amiga Forever · 12 March 2011, 17:36

I have check on amiga Kit website and it seem to me that it been sold out

Retrofan · 12 March 2011, 18:08

I've taked a look to help you, but I don't see it on Alinea, Vesalia or ASB computers either.
What you can find is the ACA1230/42.

So what happen to 56MHZ Accelerator?
Are there shortage of stock or have they got problem with them hence why they release 42MHZ Accelerator?

RMK · 14 March 2011, 22:39

They sold out quickly!

Jens said that the CPU broker currently wants too much money for 56 MHz 030 CPUs. Don't expect a second batch some time soon.

Amiga Forever · 14 March 2011, 23:13

I think when I come back from hoilday in may....I will ask if anyone want to sell 56MHZ Accelerator

magnetic · 19 March 2011, 08:32

Well I have an apollo 030@40mhz which runs rock solid with 32mb and MMU in my escom a1200 (with possiblity for fpu) so didnt buy one. I'm sure the RAm is fast and what really impresses me is the ability to use the ROM to softkick. Has anyone done anything interesting with that feature?

Also has anyone done any benchmarks vs regular older a1200 accels? like blizzard, cobra, apollo etc?

fitzsteve · 19 March 2011, 10:20

The ACA blows them all away, becuase of the way it access the custom chips and the super fast Ram.

I'm told the ACA @56mhz feels faster to use that an 040!

Once you run ACA Tune some kind of Witch Craft happens and makes the Amiga run like its a new machine!

There is a benchmarking thread somewhere, will have to ask mfilos what MIPS he got frm his ACA @56mhz

fitsteve

I have heard these claims as well but no real benchmarks or proof? and yes Jens can do some serious voodoo amiga shit.

mfilos · 21 March 2011, 07:13

This is my own screenshot when I had the ACA1230@56. I only can't recall if it was stock or after the ACAtune (AFAIK it was with it, but with cache, and burst only parameters)

fitzsteve · 21 March 2011, 10:29

Hope Djay don't mind lol - this is his Blizzy 1230 MkIV @50mhz

9.9MIPS so for that extra 6mhz and Jens Witchcraft you get quite a few extra MIPS out of the ACA

magnetic · 21 March 2011, 11:30

Ill post my apollo 030@40mhz when I get a chance. Thanks for the benchmarks

Amiga Forever · 21 March 2011, 14:54

Interesting benchmarks

Indeed. I bet there's more to get out of the ACA1230/56 as well with fine tuning on ACA Tune and fully patched Custom 3.9 Rom in MapROM

If anyone is still looking for a 56MHz part there might be some in the Switzerland regions. I put down an order for one that was shipped today. (Well, thats what they tell me. Never dealt with the shop b4, as the language isn't really my thing.) Here. I asked how many they had left, but didn't get a response. The website claims "stock ok" so i guess at least one more...
Oh, and i ended up having to use the email form to place an order, at least for me, FireFox doesn't want to let the site work so nothing gets put in the shopping cart, ever. No idea whats going on there. Ended up getting blazing fast responses. Sort of regret not asking for a clock chip, (they aren't listed on the site, so no idea if they can provide. Edit Oops, my bad, they have the clock-chip listed as an option, so they should be able to provide. Perhaps you'd get a question, if the shopping cart would work./Edit) but i'll try and get one when i order the upcoming Indivision AGA MKII from AmigaKit.
B!

How did you get on? Received ok or confirmation of despatch?

Thanks.

Mr B · 29 March 2011, 15:34

I got it from the post office to day. What can i say, looks great.
Haven't been able to hook it up yet, i hope to be in a couple of hours. Preparing a portable harddrive to go, with everything i need to set it up, and will be bringing my laptop, since the Amiga is at a mates flat, due to my TV not playing ball with the Amiga.

29 March 2011, 15:51

Nice one, good to know. I've sent a question but not received a response yet. Having the same firefox thing as you.

Mr B · 29 March 2011, 17:18

You'll probably receive an answer "tomorrow". As i said, i asked if they had more laying around, but didn't get no answer, and didn't press the issue.
B!

Edit
Hooked it up, ran the ACA tune software and it shouted at me to install a jumper for Kickstart3.0. Well, i knew it would, but i forgot to install one here at home, or bring one with me. Everything seams fine.
