Wanted: 68020 for A1000
4 messages in this thread
Yes I should probably throw away my A1000 with all of the ugly boxes
hanging precariously off the expansion port and straining the power supply.
I am, however, going to keep it a while longer and I would like to get some
minimal 68020/68881/2 thing going if anyone has such a device (perferably
internally mounted) to sell. I happen to have a 12Mhz 68020 and 68881 set
but with nothing to plug them into (boo hoo!) but this is only a
consideration if you just happen to have some unpopulated gizmo on the
shelf or were interested in bug bartering.
I have a LUCAS/FRANCES board for sale. It has a 12-20 MHz 68020 and 68881,
along with 1-4 Megs of 32 bit ram (comes with one meg installed, sockets
for the rest). Software is included to remap Kickstart into 32 bit ram.
Speedup is equivalent to Commodore's 68020 board. It's assembled and
tested, but won't work with my Xetec Hard Drive (no 32 bit ram boards do).
This is a "public domain hardware" board, which I built from circuit boards
designed by Brad Fowles. It works, but some hardware smarts are involved
in installing it and getting it running with your peripherals. Parts and
circuit boards cost me $550-600, but I'm not using it now so I'd sell it
for $400. If you're interested, call me at 703-823-6742. I can answer any
questions you have. Someone else is interested, so time is a factor….

Philipp,
How much it will be for the FRANCES board only (since i have already the
LUCAS.. Bye

If I were to break it up, I'd have to charge $225 for the LUCAS
board–several of the chips were hard to find and expensive. It works fine
though, and has sockets for the full four megs of memory. If you're
interested, call me at 703-823-6742.
