Status: RO Hello Dan, Below is a submission for c.s.a.announce. It's about a new accelerator for the A4000. My connection with the company is that the owner is a friend and I am currently developing a CD32 application for them. I hope it's up to spec. Please let me knwo if it isn't. It's based on a press release and I have done my best to remove most of the PR blurb and just leave the facts. :-) ----------------------------Snip-8<-Here--------------------------------------- PRODUCT Afterburner A4050/030 Accelerator card. COMPANY Computer Services Eureka Attn: Frank Hoen Kapittellaan 124 NL-6229 VR Maastricht The Netherlands Phone: +31(0)43-613742 Fax : +31(0)43-619077 DESCRIPTION The Afterburner is a 50Mhz 4000/030 accelerator. Giving two times the speed of the A4000/030 and adding a high speed local bus RAM interface. It has a 60ns 'burstable' Ram interface performance that's intended to be superior to the A4000/040. The Afterburner clocks its 68030 processor as well as optional coprocessor at 50Mhz. The 'burstable' memory interface and optional local bus ram should more than double the performance from the original rams utilizing 60 ns rams. It's 32 bit local bus interface should be three times faster than the original onboard ram and can be expanded to 525MB using highspeed (60ns) 32 bit SIMM's. A Kickstart image may be mapped in this 32bit RAM The CPU, a ceramic 68030 has a fully usable MMU and the (optional) co-processor can be of the PLCC, or the cheaper PGA type. Sockets for both types are present on the board. Software included is user-friendly auto-installing configuration software, a benchmark program as well as testing software. Warranty on this board is 2 years. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS An A4000 Amiga computer. A version for the A3000(T) is also being developed And should be available shortly.
