I have been looking at this card recently, nice to see you go through some specs. You think the price hike from Euro to USD was big, try Euro to CAD (Canadian), Yikes. Nice to see the Amiga community coming up with new tech. I prefer the new tech rather than sticking a Pi into an Amiga, if you want to use a Pi, I say, put the Pimiga in it. 😀

Again, cool new video! The card sounds very interesting. Me and a friend are working on a new hardware for the 2000 as well. But for now, I am still repairing a C128 Rev. 7 - a beautiful machine. But has some serious problems with the extension port. Zimmerman had a similar problem, and it seems there are some issues with some of the logic chips. Working on it, while enjoying your videos! Thanks again!

Randell Jesup was on the Retro Hour Podcast this week and talked a bit about working on Amiga OS and about the AAA and Hombre chipsets. I really wish the designs of these could be dumped in the open so we can try to replicate them in FPGA just to see what Commodore was working on. One cool thing he said was they proposed an updated pizzabox type affordable follow up to the 2000 in a case the size of the 1000, but with Zorro slots out the side. I really have been wanting something in that 1000 sized case.

This is great option for those that feel that Pistorm is too far removed from the original hardware . I hope this succeeds and then one day we see the next version of this card with WiFi or even Ethernet.

@RetronautTech Ай бұрын

Exactly. PiStorm is a (very good) emulator, this is a REAL accelerator, as they would have had back in the day. The modern IDE sauce is fine, because REAL 3.5 and even 2.4" drives tend to die these days, so the NVME does make sense. But if you DO have old kit, like a IDE/SATA CD-Rom your good. Great card :)

@boydpukalo8980 Ай бұрын

Too bad you didnt have a B key drive. I was hoping to see the nvme drive function part of the review. My deluxe/advanced card from DJCook is stuck with DHL. Wish it was in avaliable in black like the 2000EATX PCB color. Cool card. Cool video. Hope the vacuum still works-didnt hear it in the background. Amigas have become an expensive hobby. Amazing what is coming out for the big boxes. I got in at the right time.

Nice very nice. I have to give this puppy a lot of thought because I like my A2K just the way it is but I would not mind looking for another A2k just to play with it and that card. I don't need another Amiga but I have the desire to play with that card. I will have to see if I can download the manual. Love to see new stuff for the Amiga. I have more fun adding things to bare Amiga's but once I have them the way I like I really don't like messing around with then all that much. Now I am looking around to see where I can put another Amiga yet I am about to retire the PC I currently use which takes up 4U worth of space in my rack so another A2K will fit nicely in that spot.

@andrewenglish3810 Ай бұрын

Did you have to add the crystal for the MMU? Also I was thinking of using the internall SATA port on the card for a CDRW SATA drive, did you try and see if that would work? It would be nice to see the benchmark of the SSD, though you forgot to add 300 buffers to it. And I am suprised you didn't run the demo of choice from spaceballs for fun! :)

Nope just worked perfect i guess thats if you want to clock it past 50. I test all ports and benchmarked it

Hey I did a review on this and in my research I found that the original card that inspired this one was actually an A500, A500+ and A2000 cpu slot accelerator. Its smaller of course, so It only supports IDE as I recall. Info on this is in my review.

I wasnt quite sure at then end, does it need/support M.2 NVME or is it M.2 SATA? i would imagine either is overkill speeds regardless.

its M.2 Sata, my brain is just wired to say nvme for the protocol whenever i see that slot. its all good

@RetronautTech Ай бұрын

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I originally thought the NVME route was a bit silly. But considering 128gb NVME cost maybe £16 now, its not so crazy. Also, there is no cable, so its VERY neat on the back of the card there. My NVME came with 4 wait-states, which can be changed via the MapRom Util in the boot sequence, I dropped mine to 3 and it still run stably with the NVME. However, IF you wish to play with WaitStates its best to do it early on, on a sacrificial partition as if you go to low/fast it can corrupt it.

Before the card is installed, it shows Agnus ECS Agnus at 1Meg. After the card is running, sysinfo shows ECS Agnus 2Meg. Does the card somehow add 1 Meg of Agnus?? Why I ask is that I ordered an Individual ACE2B from Germany. Was that a mistake?

@RetronautTech Ай бұрын

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Mine came with 60mhz set, it did not boot. So I dropped it to 50mhz and it was fine. 8 Bit Dreams told me there are certain fixes for the A2000 board to get 60mhz to be stable. Personally, I cant be bothered to do all that work for extra 10mhz. Anyway, its fast enough at 50mhz! BTW, Maprom copies Kickstart into 32bit RAM and then re-boots, so first boot is always a bit slow. But now all calls to the ROM are from 32bit FAST ram and it makes Workbench super snappy. I really need to get this working on my A4000 to get the same juice.
