Products description
Very compact 8MB FastRAM memory expansion including BSC-AT-Bus IDE controller for the Amiga 500.
Based on the design by Oleg Mishin https://github.com/OlegMishin/A500_8MB_ide2.
Features ( bold - design changes by Lotharek)
- Bootable IDE, a patched scsi.device does not need to be present in the Kickstart ROM for autoboot.
- Supports Kickstart 1.3 and higher.
- Can boot WB 1.3 and higher from HDD. 8MB RAM is also recognised in WB 1.3.
- Motorola CPU present on the board in smd package /plcc/
- Different CPLD used - 95144XL, therefore firmware revised.
- Ide connector rotated 180 degrees - when ide2sd adapter is connected, the SD card is on top
- Hybrid smd/tht socket at the bottom - I am very proud of this solution
- Flash ROM contains BSC Octopussy ROM and can be reflashed on-board.
- Works with A500/A500+.
- Does not work with CDTV due to the DMAC on the board (current firmware).
