ACA 1230/28 heat problems
Question to Jens, how come I can't run the 1200 with the trapdoor on without the card overheating? when I leave the trapdoor off the amiga will run fine all day long, but with the trapdoor on, after about 1 hour it starts locking up.

I ordered the 28mhz accel for my 1200 (I sold off an Apollo 1240/40mhz) and I can't wait for the aga mk2 also. That and the set of caps I just ordered will make my a1200 as stable and usable as I could ever hope for. (WHDload machine ).
Thanks for all you hard work Jens! We really do appreciate it. I do have one question, I order the 28mhz card and also bought a 68030rc25. I should just be able to remove the ec cpu that comes on the card and pop in the rc and then enable mmu correct? later, dabone |

The most common use case for the MMU ist fastrom, and that is best replaced with the built-in Maprom function. No MMU needed! Jens |

looking forward to get my 56mhz aca
regret selling my a500 with hard drive all those years ago...picked up a 500+, should have kept the a500 and saved the money for the a1200....hindsight is so handy. A500 aca would be good, i think my mate still has my a500+ a cd32 aca would also be awesome ps mk2 flicker fix....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty |

I think it's pretty difficult to figure out what will sell the best.
The Indivision AGA mk2 seems to be an easy sell. Lot's of people have an Amiga 1200 with an expansion and if they don't the new ACA accelerators are excellent. So yes, I hope there is enough stock so I can pick up one or two. The only reason I bought an Indivision ECS for the A600 is because I could put an ACA630 in it. I think that will be true for a lot of people. So if there won't be a new batch after this ACA630 then sales will I think mostly be limited to the ACA630 sales. For the Amiga 500. I have no idea how much demand there is. I have no 500 nor do I want one. An Amiga CD32 accelerator would be great. It will be more expensive than the ACA630 I reckon. But most people seem to want one. Maybe this accelerator could have Indivision onboard? That would be great! One solution fits all. Here's my modified Indi ECS adapter. Shorter wires. |

Hi All,
Here is what i done so that the ACA1230 floats in place without being tugged or pulled by the trapdoor or the expansion slot guides on either side of the card. The card sits square now and the trapdoor closes with no bulging. I used a utility knife to gradually srore the edges until it was weak enough to snap off |

Hi there!
Just to let you know how things are going on with my ACA630: 100% stable behaviour after hours of ordinary workbench activity. A few WHDLoad games that run fine in my Blizzard-68030 accelerated A1200 are giving problems here, but that will probably not be ACA630 related at all. Just to name a few, Blues Brothers will unpredictably crash every now and then, and function keys are not responding in Escape From Colditz. Most games seem to be running nice... and fast, anyway! Networking with Amigakit Easynet wireless kit seems to be fine too. My A600 pings OK with the other computers in the LAN and I even can mount a shared folder from my windows PC for fast and easy file transfering. I haven't succeded with web-browsing, though. Both versions of Aweb I've tried (latest 3.5.8 and 3.5.9) will mercilessly crash with a 8000000B guru, which sugests they're trying to do some FPU-requiring stuff even when they are not spposed to (that kind of problems with Aweb have been reported before). Some of you are succesfully netsurfing with ACA630, so, can anyone confirm which browser will work in a KS3.1 + WB 3.1 Amiga 600 with ACA630 setup? Thanks! -- |

I'm just using it for downloading from aminet. Edit: With aweb I turned off image loading because otherwise it crashes. Last edited by Mozzerfan; 25 January 2011 at 04:34. |

Professional slacker!

Ok so I finnally gave in and ordered my ACA630, I'm sad its not the 64mb version though. Don't care about the speed so much but would have like the extra Ram.
Could someone with hacking skills upgrade the Ram? Of course I know that would wipe out the warranty What if I offered Jens £XXX to pimp my ACA? 50mhz / 128mb version? You know you want to Anyway so now I'll have ACA630/A603/IndiECS and a HxC Floppy emulator on the way. Should be a nice setup |

Still a good decision Steve Glad to see you decided on one. Will be a nice setup that.

If the socket is okay and you've read that folded majig (gave your Amiga some alcohol and screwed it moderately), you've done your part. (To be honest I've a hard time to see how the infamous microfractures both make a 68000 screwed-on add-on utterly unstable and also make the 68000 stable as soon as you remove the add-on, main reason for posting was the resistor thing and checking the socket's flush. Certainly it doesn't feel right to have the socket not flush to make it work.) |
