GForce 030 whatversion

ModMumpitz · 18 August 2019, 12:19

Hi,

I have a GForce 030 combo board and want to know, how to upgrade it.
For this i must know, what version it was originally, because it i preowned.

There aren‘t any stickers or prints on it it and currently it runs at 40MHz.

So is there any chance to get the shipped setup for this board.
It is a rev 4 board.

Thanks

According to Amiga resource there were only 2 revisions:

IMO the differences for G-Force 030 revisions are not that important. It's the clock speed and memory size differences which are the most important.

The PALs are different for the different frequencies that were shipped.

See here: http://relay.pp.fi/Amiga/A2000/GVP%2...0%20COMBO.html

On facebook recently, Robert Miranda mentioned they are looking in the future at providing replacement PALs for people to update their boards from lower to higher frequencies as they still have the code. So hang in there! Take a look here: https://www.facebook.com/retropcmemories post from 16 June.
