Do it yourself: Revision 4.0.1 of N2630 expansion board for Amiga 2000
Parallel to his project of a replica of the A2000 motherboard in ATX form factor, "Amiga-2000-ATX" (amiga-news.de reported), the developer Jason 'jasonsbeer' Neus has another one : the N2630 is a further development of the original Commodore A2630 expansion card, offering an Amiga 2000 a 50MHz Motorola 68030 CPU card with additional RAM and IDE device connector, and is installed in the CPU slot (amiga-news.de reported).
The now published documents of the new production revision 4.0.1a/b offer two interesting changes: on the one hand revision 4.0.1b supports the 68882 PGA footprint and revision 4.0.1a the PLCC footprint. On the other hand, the new revision supports the original German A2000 computer (the left side of the board should be marked with "Made In Germany" and "(C) 1986 Commodore"; then it is not a cost-reduced Amiga 2000 board), but this could not be tested yet.
New firmware has also been released. Some bugs have been fixed and the latest firmware is faster and more stable. The following hardware has been tested and works well with the latest firmware:
- A2000 Rev 4.x
- A2000 Rev. 6.x
- A2000 EATX
- A2088
- A2286
- A2091
- RIPPEL
- Oktagon SCSI
- WordSync
- GottaGoFastRam
- Freeway Pro
- XSurf 100
- Ariadne
- GBAPII+
- Opal Vision
- Picasso
- ACE2b Chip-Erweiterung
