FAST TECHNOLOGY TURBO30 MEGA ST ACCELERATOR BOARD TEST RESULTS By Daniel Osborne (GEnie: D.OSBORNE4) (CIS: Daniel Osborne 100337,3613) 15 October 1994 System Configuration: Atari Mega ST4 w/Fast Technology Turbo30 board CPUs: Motorola 68000 8Mhz & 68030 50Mhz FPU: Motorola 68882 50Mhz RAM: 4 megs of ST Ram & 8 megs of Fast TT Ram Total RAM: 12 megs ST TOS: 2.06 Monitors: Atari SM124 & SC1224 Misc. Hardware: ICD Link & Seagate ST296N 80 meg hard drive System Software: ICDBOOT 6.5.5 (hard drive boot program) T030.PRG (Turbo030 MMU setup program) FRB.PRG (32bit ramdisk transfer program) FASTRAMA.PRG (32bit ram test/initializer) Warp 9 v3.75 (Codehead graphics accelerator) GEM Bench v3.25 (Atari ST/TT/F30 tester) 1. The following are test results using Fast Technology Turbo30 68030 hardware accelerator board on a standard Atari Mega ST2, upgraded to a Mega ST4 by adding the additional 2 megs of ram directly to the motherboard, and a TT Fastram daughter board with and additional 8 megs of TT ram. The daughter board can handle an additional 8 megs of ram for a total of 16 megs of TT FastRam. Total ram for this system can be 20 megs of ram (4 ST RAM + 16 TT RAM). The Turbo30 must run under Atari ST TOS 2.06 to use the TT ram and cache. The Turbo30 is hardwired switched between the standard 68000 CPU at 8 Mhz to the 68030 CPU at 50 Mhz w/68882 50 Mhz FPU, but must be rebooted to switch between CPUs. 2. I do not have access to a Fast Technology 68000 T-20 or T-25 accelerators for comparison, but the following test results are based on a standard Atari 68000/8 Mhz ST 520/1040/Mega (with & without Blitter & FPU), Atari 68000/16 Mhz MegaSTE (with & without Blitter & FPU), Atari 68030 TT (with & without FastRam), and Atari 030 Falcon (with & without FPU). I am using several sets of results based on the above Atari computers with & without Warp 9 and between the SM124 (mono) and SC1224 (color) monitors because these variables can change the results by a tremendous factor. ============================================================= Video Mode (ST HIGH) = 640 * 400 * 2 Colours NO WARP 9 ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 99 1142 599 168 209 Graphics: 100 510 286 149 168 CPU: 99 2723 1383 214 312 ------------------------------------------------------------- WARP 9 ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 279 2253 1216 555 823 Graphics: 352 2086 1147 691 726 CPU: 98 2673 1387 216 1066 ------------------------------------------------------------- WARP 9/FPU/BLT ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 152 1109 832 539 607 Graphics: 183 1123 946 681 726 CPU: 74 1073 548 183 312 ============================================================= ============================================================= Video Mode (ST MEDIUM) = 640 * 200 * 4 Colours NO WARP 9 ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 103 1140 607 169 426 Graphics: 105 528 296 151 170 CPU: 99 2669 1384 215 1065 ------------------------------------------------------------- WARP 9 ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 338 2156 1369 635 903 Graphics: 434 2464 1362 802 837 CPU: 98 2675 1386 216 1067 ------------------------------------------------------------- WARP 9/FPU/BLT ST/8 ST/50 MSTE TT FALCON Average: 181 1242 949 617 687 Graphics: 232 1310 1110 791 837 CPU: 75 1075 547 183 313 ============================================================= The Turbo30 in stock mode basically runs 10x faster than a standard Atari 520/1040/Mega 68000/8 Mhz series, 6x faster than the STE/Mega 68000/16 Mhz series, 2x faster than a TT, and 3x faster than a Falcon. 3.

This is the best complete bench marking tests for the Turbo30. Other video cards, different 68030 CPUs at varying speeds can produce different figures than shown here. I am most satisfied with the increase of speed, compared to the stock Mega ST. I use my Atari system for mostly Desktop Publishing (DTP) and find programs like Calamus, PageStream, Convector, Outline Art and TouchUp enjoy the 030 speed and TT FastRam. Even Spectre GCR flies quite well at this speed. The only program I can not run in 030 mode is PC Ditto 3.0. What a shame, I would like to have seen what Norton rating I could get! 10. I will be submitting a full article on the Turbo30 board and how I put this monster system into a full tower case with all the bells & whistles (i.e. SysQuest, floptical, Moniterm, video switchers, buttons and LED's) to ST Informer and ST Format magazines along with color photos and diagrams. In the mean time, if anyone has any questions I can be contacted on either GEnie or Compuserve.
