[comp.sys.amiga.tech] A1060 sidecar

dsm@pollux.UUCP (David Stephen Mason) (04/08/89)

 I  have one of the Amiga 1060 sidecars for my Amiga 1000 and I am needing 2 things.  (1)  I need the schematics and service information for it if possible, and (2)  I need to know if there is some way to get the amiga's memory card tht fits in the sidecar and fits on the amiga bus connector in the sidecar to give the amiga more memory.  
   
   Thank you for helping me...

   As far as I know CBM has never made these available to the public.

   You need one of the 1/2 meg memory boards that came in the German 2000's.
   Then you must add a connector to the non-component side so it can be put
   in the SideCar. CBM does not sell the board or connector so unless you
   know someone in europe/Canada or a developer who has a card your sunk.....
   
   This memory is then RANGER memory ($C00000) and will conflict with any
   internal memory expansion (like the Insider) unless that memory is switched
   to a different location (possible via dip switches).

   Unless you already have an Insider and 1.5megs is not enough, I would
   suggest you expand by adding an Insider first. Several things come into
   play getting one of those A2000 boards to work and you can spend alot
   of time and never get it to work also. (Trust me ive hacked those boards
   onto 1000's and SideCards before anyone knew they were missing from their
   German 2000's ;-)

   One other thing you could use a "RETURN" at the end of a line. It would
   make editing for a relpy alot easier!

   PS:
      When I say "Insider" I am refering to the *real* thing from Michigan
	  Software and not a Spirit board!
