CYBERSTORM
MKII Turbo Board
68060 Accelerator board for AMIGA 3000(T) and AMIGA 4000(T)
Available for all A4000, A4000T, as well as A3000 and A3000T models,
the world's leading 68060 accelerator design takes another step forward
into the future. With the brand-new Cyberstorm Mk. II you can now expand
your creativity to new horizons for a price that is a real bargain! Based
on the development knowledge of more than 18 months of 68060 experience,
our engeneering team has realized a new generation of accelerators for
the AMIGA. These advanced accelerators bring the incredible 68060 power
to you for a price that nobody dared to dream of in the past!
Technical Data CYBERSTORM MKII:
- Available in a 50 MHz 68060 version. Resulting from the asynchronous
design, the board is ready for 66 MHz versions (upgrades to faster versions
will be possible when faster CPUs are shiping by Motorola)
- 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 the needed changes for 66 MHz design
can be loaded from floppy disk. In addition the FlashROM contains the 68060-movep-emulation
which enable boards like the Oktagon 2000 to work properly.
- Up to 5 times and more faster than a stock A4000/040, with peak rates
of more than 80 MIPS @50 MHz
- Superior floating point performance gives speed increases by a factor
of 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 fast RAM is possible
- CYBERSTORM MKII always uses WritPosting to improve data transfers.
So the CYBERSTORM MKII 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
- The Next Generation 68060 Accelerator from the company who developed
the first 68060 board in 1994, and ships 68060 boards in quantities since
early 1995
