Biggest question for me is: why would you??
The MatzeTK v2 uses Maprom, so while you need to boot once, you can then load any Kickstart you like.
And if you want an 68000, you need to get a „garlic“ CPU switch.
You can move the mass storage solution of the Matze TK with the IDE cable towards the front of the A1000 and use thin wire expansions to get an uSD out.
Really makes little sense to operate both in one unit.
Sorry, I've only just seen your reply.
Your question about why is actually quite simple.
- I would like to have the CPU performance of an 030 CPU in the system ( no need of 68000 fallback )
- plus the capabilities of the Parceiro ( easy Kickstart Switch, easy SD card access, FAT partition, visually beautiful )
Could it be that the RAM areas of the 030 turbo card and the Parceiro overlap and that is the reason why it doesn't work?
In all my countless attempts, the system has started just once and has also worked with 030 CPU and Parceiro. I was already happy about the success. But unfortunately never again after that.
Maybe I'm completely wrong. But how do i get more speed into the system in conjunction with the Parceiro? Is there a way? If so, which one?
I would be pleased to receive suggestions for a solution to increase speed with Parceiro2.
Backing up a bit - I have a Parceiro II and a currently uninstalled AdSpeed accelerator. Am I correct in understanding that these two items cannot function together?
Have you tried using them together yet?
The latest version of Parceiro II+ uses its own accelerator that was directly inspired by the AdSpeed. It just picks up (and maximizes) where the AdSpeed left off. If possible I'd see about getting an upgrade. It would be interesting to see if your original worked with it, though.

AdSpeed had SRAM for cache but I don't see that in the photos of the Parceiro accelerator? I see that Parceiro is clocked twice as fast as the AdSpeed but without SRAM it would still be slower?
Apologies for the late reply here.
You could quick-check the memory allocations with only one of the boards installed and for each use Sysinfo, the newer the better. Under "memory", you flip through the different memories the base system and the expansions. Could give a hint if some overlap. They could as well have issues with the autoconfig itself, as at least for the TKs they are in the 68000 socket and have no clean integration into the autoconfig-chain on the zorro-bus.
Anyway, I am still puzzled by the idea of using both.
The MatzeTK2 comes with a program called maprom, which you can use to use a different ROM.
Additionally, you could use a KSMaster (AmiBay) for a reprogrammable FlashROM solution if you want to quick-switch between ROMs.
If you put an CF interface into the IDE of the MatzeTK and a µSD-to-CF-Adapter, you could get a µSD extension.
Like this...
... wiggle the µSD-part through the ventilation slit behind the RAM expansion cover and you can always access the µSD card to fill it from a PC.
The visual beauty is that you have an A1000 that is really hard to distinguish from one in the original state.
So in a way I am still puzzled by what particular function you would want a Paceiro.
Which still is a wonderful piece of hardware, I get that.
