CPU: 030@16Mhz, 030@25Mhz, 030@33Mhz, 030@40Mhz or 68030@50MHz (Platinum Version)
Requirements: Amiga with 68000 socket.
68000 CPU optionally plugs into Derringer for compatibility.
Supports industry standard 72-pin SIMMs in 1,2,4,8,16 or 32MB
sizes. EDO SIMMs can be used, though it makes no difference.
Has on-board hardware to remap kickstart into 32-bit RAM,
freeing the MMU for other uses. Other system code and vectors
can also be copied into 32-RAM area.
Installation is fairly simple. Unplug the 68000 CPU from its
socket, plug it into the Derringer, and then plug the Derringer
into the 68000 socket.
A line needs to be added to the Startup-Sequence right after
SetPatch with the 'D3' program to test and allocate the RAM,
as well as relocate Kickstart and system vectors.
Problems: The hardware kickstart relocate to be buggy
on my OS3.1 system (frequent crashes). Using the C:CPU program
to relocate Kickstart via the MMU worked much better.
Jumper settings: There are 2 user jumpers available, JP2 and
JP3. JP2 selects the CPU mode on next boot. On selects the
68000, off selects the 68030. A switch can be installed on this
jumper block for external control. JP3 selects the E-Clock
source. If you decide not to install the 68000 into the
Derringer, this jumper must be installed, else it is open.
Ram Type: 72pin SIMMS
Max Ram: 32MB
FPU: Optional
MMU: Internal
Should work in any Amiga which previously had a 68000 socket it in providing the board has enough space, this card designed primarily for the A2000 is known to work in an A500 and an A1000 with a socket extender.
