  1. Another great job!
    It can be adapted to work on Amiga 2000/3000?

  2. A2000 - yes, easily. A3000 - complete redesign is required due to 32 bit architecture.

  3. Sorry, I do not understand.
    Why A2091 works on both A3000 and A2000 as your project can not work on A3000?
    Sorry if this is a silly question.

  4. CFRAM 500 is a 16 bit RAM expander & IDE controller. 16 bit RAM is not ideal for a 32 bit machine, like A3000...

  5. Hello.
    Now I understand the problem on the A3000.

    I can post your projects in the Forum EAB?
    What are your plans for these projects? Sell or publish the schematics + firmware. or some other?

    Greetings and thanks

  8. Where can we buy one? Or is it OpenSource? Can we get a circuit diagram and firmware?

  9. Dear Edwin!

    CFRAM500 was a test project before I designed the HC508 all in one accelerator card. Only 2 units exist in the world. ;)

    Currently HC508 is available for purchase. Please contact me in private message for details.
