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
