Btw.
What was the cause that this card initially worked only on some board revisions or was it only related to ROM?
The root cause was that for autovectors it was reading the data bus too fast. before the data was ready. When that happened it read FF instead of the correct autovector number and everything went downhill from there.

@terriblefire Any chance of bringing the build cost down further with a QFP 132 footprint? Those 030 CPU's are cheap and plentiful.

i'm not a fan of those. If they dont work you have to resolder them. And they dont work at 50Mhz ... if you're dropping down to 40mhz just use this...

Plus like i said.. I'm actually done with Amiga accelerators. Once the current crop are sorted out there will be no more.

Fair enough, it was just an idea.

@exxos made an adaptor from pga to smt cpus. The cpusbwould mostly work ok but required a heatsink to be fitted whereas the pga ones don't as you guys know.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I was more interested in the cost savings by eliminating the need for a socket. I much prefer SMT in any scenario, even swapping out takes me seconds.

@PaulJ_2.0 totally agree, the price of pga cpus has increased greatly but the smt ones haven't yet.

I don't know if they die shrunk the QFP over its life, but the one on a Blizzard MK1 runs hot hot hot.

Rev C is best as it had a die shrink so less heat produced.
Gold Rev C is the daddy :)
