[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] speed-up boards.general

mathers@titan.trl.oz (Steven Mathers) (03/21/90)

There are a couple of boards out for various strains of amigas which
allow the addition of 68020'2 and 68030's, maths co-processors, and
32bit wide ram.  I have a few questions reguarding this topic.

1)  What are the functions of the glue circuitry on the boards or
daughter boards that use the faster processors.  I can think of some
obvious ones myself such as new faster clock(s).

2)  How is the exisitng ram intergrated with the new wide ram, and how
important to speed increase is wide ram?

3)  How easy would it be to make one of these daughter boards for a 500,
assuming you have some knowledge of digital electronics.

4)  Is there a PD circuit available?

Ta.
