Commodore Amiga 4000 hack to handle 64Mb of Fast Memory

Commodore Amiga 4000 hack to handle 64Mb of Fast Memory

The Amiga 4000 motherboard can be ´hacked´ to handle 64Mb of Fast Memory, to do this, you have to solder a new GAL and make some bridges between FASTRAM SIMM -> GAL -> CHIP RAMSEY.

This work is not complicated but you need to have a good practice with the soldering iron and PLCC soldering.

Commodore Amiga 4000 Repair – System Clock Dead

Commodore Amiga 4000 Repair - System Clock Dead

This post is dedicated to all the people that do not remove the damn battery on any hardware, not only Amiga.

It was better don’t make this repair, i knew from the beginning, when you find an acid lake that takes away everything, pad, pcb tracks and some welding is better left alone, however the Amiga 4000 was working perfectly but without the a way to Save or Load the system Date.

I wanted to challenge for the umpteenth time this problem where anything that i make comes off and worsens the situation already dramatic.

Conscious that the final work was a colossal shit, because with exploded pad, broken track and the through holes between layers fucked up you can not do miracles, you can only hope doing your best.

In fact, it works perfectly, but it remains a shitty job, unwatchable.

Moral: REMOVE ALWAYS THE BATTERIES and if the pcb is corroded by the leaked acid clean very well using appropriate products, not with the usual alcohol or a bath with soap, used products like PCC KONTAKT CLEANER or like, scratching well the pcb and also the holes between layers using a needle fine.

Restoring the original configuration of a ACT Elek. Apollo 1260

Works that have been made:

  • Cleaning the pad and weld residues on the solder side of the 68060 CPU.
  • Removing the KIT/Hack to use a SIMM 64MB instead of 32MB. The KIT / Hack not working well.
  • Restoration of the power PCB of the CPU and installation of the BD242 transistor (TIP32) in place of a voltage regulator. (Now the PCB is in original state)
  • Someone needs to explain me how the fuck do you can use a voltage regulator type LT1085(84) fixed 3.3V instead of a Transistor!
  • Overclocking with 80MHz oscillator.

Texas Instruments Floppy Disk Controller ROM (EPROM) upgrade

Texas Instruments Floppy Disk Controller ROM (EPROM) upgrade

This upgrade kit for the standard TI disk controller card allows 80 track drives to be used, such as a 3 1/2″ 80 track floppy.

The modified code supports 40 and 80 tracks for SSSD and 80 tracks for DSSD, whatever drive is designated as the 40 track drive, either #1 or #3, supports 40 track DSDD.

The update is very simple to make, you have to remove the original ROMS and replace with two sockets and insert the two 2532 EPROMS pre-programmed.
