Insider for A1000?
2 messages in this thread
I have had the Insider now for over a year and have found it to be the most
useful purchase I have made for my Amiga. Now I am trying to find a way to
speed things up. The 68020 boards are out of my reach at present, so when I
heard about the CMI processor accelerator I was excited. Then I found it fits
in the 1000 the same way the Insider does. My question is, will the two work
together as supplied, and if not, is there some modification that will make the
combination work. thanks, mike.
Mike,
Since I have never had a CMI accellerator board, I've not tested them
together. If CMI designed the accellerator properly, (emulating a 7Mhz 68000
for buss access) then electrically they should work. I believe, however that
they used some 'tricks' in order to boost performance, so it's very possible
that they won't.
Phyisicaly, there is very little room above the Insider for anything to be
installed. I would think that the shield would have to be removed or modified.
I would call CMI to see if they either tested the accellerator and the
Insider together, or have heard from customers if they work. I know that I
haven't heard of anybody having problems, but I haven't heard of anyone trying
it either.
