Any chance you can share the gerber files for that new one with the rom switcher on it? I would love to build some of these for people, including one for myself!

Yes, please post the files for this. I am very interested!EzdineG wrote:Thanks! I've been meaning to update the original post with more information regarding PAL units.:slashetc wrote:great work @EzdineG, thanks for sharing.
I ordered some boards from china, borrowed a 1.3 ROM from my A500, plugged in the MKL 8MB + IDE adapter and it booted first time
By the way I do have some spare boards if anyone in the UK want's one.
NTSC / PAL motherboards with daughterboard:
U6J - Bend pin 17 out or cut on daughterboard
U4K - Connect pin 1 & 20 with 4.7kOhm resistor
U6L - Connect Pin 19 to Kickstart board J1
PAL motherboards with no daughterboard:
U6N - Bend pin 17 out or cut on daughterboard
U3J - Connect pin 1 & 20 with 4.7kOhm resistor
U4S - Connect pin 19 to Kickstart board J1
... and a new board iteration!
I had a friend of mine in Germany measure the requirements for fitting one of Matze's 530TK accelerators in an Amiga 1000, the result of which is this:
The socket is relocated in the opposite direction and a bit higher, allowing this accelerator to fit. I've also added a second ROM socket and connectors for a 3 pole toggle so you can switch between Kickstarts.
Unfortunately, you may have to cut the RF shield to fit this board since we had to go way out to fit the 530TK. I can post the files for this if there's interest. I still have a few extra boards from this order, too. I may be inclined to design a variation of the original board as a switcher if enough people ask.
More information about the 530TK can be found here.

I just finished upgrading my Amiga 1000. Here's what I did:Trekiej wrote:Hello.
I bought both Rom Boards, single and dual rom capable.
Later I bought a ZIF 40 pin connector. This is the green one on ebay that has the lever.
Is it okay to use one of these for a 1.3 KS Rom on my blank board that has a single rom location?
With my A1000, I care about upgrading the rom, memory, and do something with the infernal or internal floppy disk drive.
edit: I wish to make FD0 an external drive. I have seen some mods on the web that will switch FD0 and FD1. I guess that is the right numbers for them.
I admit I want a Gotek FDD emulator. I wish I had one that used an SD card and could be installed internally and be accessed from the front.
I wish I could put a SSD and a Raspberri Pi where the FDD sits.
I have seen a blank TF520 board on ebay and would like to increase the speed of my A1000. Are these worth building up?
I do not see any memory expansion on them.
Did Commodore have any schematics for a 4 or 8 MB expansion?
Another thing I would like to see is a smaller Daughter Board.
I may look to work on one of those myself, if someone has not already done so.
Thanks for listening to me gab.
