Accelerator board: ACA500 by Individual Computers can be preordered
The ACA500 developed by Individual Computers is supposed to be available before Christmas and now can be preordered. The Amiga 500-extension has a preinstalled Kickstart-"ROMs" (version 1.3 and 3.1) and it is possible to use an Amiga 1200 accelerator board developed by the same producer with an Amiga 500.
Features of the ACA500:
- 68EC000-10 clocked at 14 MHz (i.e. double A500 clock)
- 2 MB of physical RAM, entirely available for applications (minus 512 KB if MapROM is used)
- external expansion, no need to open the A500
- two Compact Flash card slots (each one of them bootable and able to read/write Amiga or PC formatted cards)
- trapdoor memory expansions up to 1.8 MB FastMem still work (including RTC)
- ChipMem expansions still work
- custom expansion port for local hardware (14 MHz 16-bit, double Zorro speed)
- clock port for hardware expansions, e.g. for Silversurfer or Catweasel Mk2
- optionally expandable by adding an ACA-1220 / ACA-1231 / ACA-1232 card
- licensed Kickstart ROM images 1.3 and 3.1 included in Flash-ROM
- FAT95 file system also included in Flash-ROM
- full WHDload compatibility incl. Quit key!
