The new TF4060 accelerator for A3000/A4000’s is coming soon !!!
Just saw this on Facebook and just WOW!
The first TF4060s are on order and whoever wants one will be able to buy it within a couple of weeks! The board is currently considered "Open beta", if you find bugs, please report them and they will get fixed. The firmware can be easily updated via a RPi Zero W that plugs on top of the board. The board features 256MB ram, software selectable CPU frequency (50/75/100 Mhz), onboard IDE controller with driver in ROM (no need to use loadmodule) and fully supports DMA (so you can boot from A3000 SCSI). It has been tested with a bunch of popular Zorro cards, on all versions of A3000 and A4000. |

Great to see the progress.
Looks like we (soon) finally get a card that plays nicely with the A3000. Last edited by eXeler0; 15 April 2024 at 19:28. |

Alen PPC’s official sales thread on Amibay:
https://www.amibay.com/threads/tf406...hread.2446819/ Currently it’s ”Open Beta” so you are expected to give constructive feedback if you order one :-) Shipping to EU is excluded as Chucky will be the producer for that region. |

I received mine (in the UK) from alenppc today. Once the required libraries installed it's been running great, tested up to 75MHz with the installed LC CPU, running stable and cool - so far seems like an excellent A3000/4000 option!

What's the IDE controller get for transfer speed?
3MB/s? I assume it's not DMA? |
