Apollo 2030 disable/enable

amigaosx · 01 July 2019, 23:41

I have this apollo 2030 card in an A2000 rev6.
Is there a way to disable the card on boot?
I have an A2630 card and it has this disable feature, so you can run software that runs only on the 68000.
I like the apollo better as it's faster and can take more memory.

I didn't find a way to disable the card by software, I'm thinking about adding a switch soldered somewhere on the card.

Doesn't look like it's possible sadly. There's jumpers to toggle the RAM and SCSI, but not the accelerator itself.

I always wondered why so many accelerators couldn't be disabled. Surely it couldn't be that complicated to implement.

I saw the jumpers, but as you say they do not disable the 030.
It's a pitty.

Thanks
