Terrible Fire Accelerators for A600?

Post by aeromaxx »

Are there any future plans for accelerators for the A600?

I'm not looking at the A600 at the moment. Mainly because its a horrible machine to develop on.

Oh I see, that's a shame to hear that, nightmare trying to find an accelator for the A600 these days.

Also when you say it's a horrible machine to develop on do you mean in terms of space available or something else? I was just curious as I have never owned one until a couple of weeks ago, and I liked the size.

The reason is that there is no expansion slot for a CPU. You have to fit an accelerator over the existing CPU and this is pretty intermittent thing to have going on when developing hardware.

Ah yes I knew that, as I have zero knowledge or experience of developing hardware or electronics I had no idea about that.

I am very disappointed but I understand your reasons, not to worry I guess I will just have to do without as I am not overly keen on the Furia Accelerator, and the ACA630 ones aren't available, and hard to find 2nd hand should I of wanted one of those.

There are efforts to make an adapter for the TF530 etc. I've been a bit busy to keep an eye on their progress lately.

No progress on the adapter for a while. :)
A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

My lack of focus:
[ 8 * A500 ][ 2 * A500+ ][ 2 * A600 ][ 2 * A1200 ][ 2 * A2000 w/ A2386 ][ A4000 w/ TF4060, CyberVision 64 3D, FastLane SCSI Z3 ][ CD32 ][ VIC-20 ][ 4 * C64 Breadbin ][ 5 * C64C ][ 2 * C128 ][ C128D ][ C64 DTV ][ 3 * Mac Classics of different types ]
