CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC Turbo Board
68040 Accelerator board for AMIGA 3000(T) and AMIGA 4000(T)
The CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC Turbo Board, a low cost 68040
based accelerator board for Amiga 3000(T) and Amiga 4000(T).
The abbreviation ERC stands for
EcoReCycling meaning the processors used on this board are recycled and tested
68040 processors operating at 40MHz with MMU/FPU. By using these processors a
very competitive pricing for the CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC is possible.
The board is axpandable to a total amount of 128 MB of RAM by four 72-channel standard-SIMM-sockets.
All other specifications are the same as those for the well known CYBERSTORM MKII.
Technical Data CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC Turbo Board:
- Acceleration board for the Amiga 3000(T) and Amiga 4000(T) with 40 MHz-68040
processor with FPU and MMU for highest and maximum performance
- The CYBERSTORM MKII has a mechanical design suitable for all A3000(T) and A4000(T)
even if fully equipped with 4 SIMMs
- By use of the FlashROM technology parts of the programmable hardware can be
updated by software, for example by loading from floppy disk.
- Up to 2.5 times and more faster than a stock A4000/040, with peak rates of more than
24 MIPS @40 MHz
- Superior floating point performance gives speed increases by a factor of 2.5 and more
over an A4000/040 with High End applications such as Lightwave 3D
- Integrated memory upgrade option for to 128 MByte with industry-standard SIMMs. This
ultra-fast burst-mode memory provides high-performance operation for all memory-hungry
applications
- All installed memory is always configured as one contiguous block of memory,
independent of the size of the modules used, and will be configured automatically
without any jumper change or software configuration by the user
- Kickstart shadowing to the CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC fast RAM is possible
- Full Burst Mode access to the Zorro-III bus allows up to 32 Mbyte/sec. transfer
into the Zorro-III devices which allow burst mode access.
- CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC always uses WritPosting to improve data transfers. So the
CYBERSTORM MKII 040/40 ERC can read from the local FastRAM while old data is still written on
the Zorro-II bus, for example to copy data to a graphics board
- Improved access to the chip RAM using a write buffer increases graphics
perfomance for AGA and ECS displays
- Improved bandwith for mainboard fast memory (faster than the original 68040 CPU
board)
- A fully-featured expansion slot allows the use of existing Cyberstorm expansion
modules, such as the Fast SCSI-II DMA controller and other upcoming high-performance
expansions
