I've made the card configurable so you can set the A600 CPU Halt low or high, and the same for the DIP64 socket, so it should be possible to have this adaptor installed and keep the 68000 running. So... Might be possible to use other addons such as fastram.8 Bit Dreams wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 10:50 pm PCMCIA isn't a problem to be fair..
You see - guys designed A1200 8MB card moved it to the other address space and both (8MB+PCMCIA are working)...
This adapter is indeed very interesting! What about mkl's or Kipper's 8MB ram cards? Will these work with it? If Yes - this will give A600 owners a cheap FastRam...
Also this will probably run with some of Matzes cards, his cards have its own boot ROM (Oktagon/Oktapussy)..
So Yeah.. if You decide to produce this adapter - please let me know - i would buy one or meaybe two of them!
Careful if you accidentally run the 68000 with the TF53x in there. On the CD32 i did this accidentally and the 020 got very very hot very quicky.kludge wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 10:19 pm

I'm definitely ordering a batch of 10. I'll keep you posted
Edit: Just ordered a batch. I was meaning to check the layout one more time but what the hell. No guts, no glory.
Terrible fire hot? But, yeah, good point. It's not wired that way by default.terriblefire wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 11:09 pm Careful if you accidentally run the 68000 with the TF53x in there. On the CD32 i did this accidentally and the 020 got very very hot very quicky.
It’s going to be on rev 200 before I’m done
The schematics are very simple. I also made a new footprint for the PLCC socket, as the pinout wasn't going to be right when put on top of the CPU. I could very possibly have made a mistake there... I have the files on GitLab as well: https://gitlab.com/kludge/a600-ice-scra ... le%20filesterriblefire wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:58 pm Can you post me the schematics and I’ll tell you what’s up
