C=a3640

Kin Hell · 03 May 2015, 16:05

Up for grabs is a C=A3640 Rev 3.1. It's had about 12 hours of use since the Re-cap back in June 13 & recently tested to photo the event here.
She's sporting a fully fledged 040 @ 25Mhz with FPU & MMU.

Special Notes: v3.1 works in A3000/4000 but has problems with certain Zorro cards which use DMA. - AKA Z3 fastlane, C=A4091 SCSI card.

]

]

The low profile CPU Heat-sink is as supplied with A3000D's. Unfortunately, the retaining clip is missing. If anyone specifically wants this card for an A3000D, I can remove the Chunky Heat-sink & fix the low profile affair in place with some Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive. Please note: You may damage the CPU/PCB trying to remove the Heat-sink after employing AS TA.

This veers mildly off topic, but is out of genuine curiosity: does that arctic silver epoxy REALLY hold on so tight that it takes chunks off a ceramic package?

I can imagine various flip chips and exposed die jobbies getting ruined if you remove an epoxied heat sink, but I find it really hard to believe that a ceramic package would mind it at all. The epoxy is annoying to remove off the CPU (it sticks so hard), but at least in my experience it has never managed to break the case.

From an Engineers prospective, you're probably right. I do believe that Ceramic Packages were not in use on mainstream platforms when AS TA was released. However, when AS TA was released, what ever you stuck with it stayed stuck forever.

I've made a small adjustment to the description.

Yeh, I hate to sound like a nit picker, but I don't have experience with that particular adhesive, so I had to ask.. :-)

Not at all fella & quite a valid point really. But yeah.... when this product sticks something together, it stays stuck.
