Hello!
I plan to build an A2000 (new PCB) and adding a Buddha IDE card is a logical step.
According to available intel, there are multiple revisions of the Buster chip with the first one 318075-01 being known for DMA problems.
I would like to know what the requirements of the Buddha card are in regard to this matter.
Does it also work with the -01 Buster revision (without the "tower" fix) or is a -02, -03 revision of the Buster IC mandatory.
Thank you,
Thomas
Hi Jens
Thank you very much for clear and quick response.
Just as a side note, my reasons for that question are much simpler ... I intend to build an A500+ from scratch with that new PCB sold by Bob and my scope is to buy only the chips I really need ... for example I will use an Indivision ECS V2 hence no need to buy a Denise chip.
BTW, the ACA500+ I bought last winter is working flawless on my classic A500.
Hello
Maybe a strange question...
Has anybody tried it before: since the ACA500+ already includes CPU and ROM's is it mandatory to also have the CPU and ROM chip populated in the Amiga 500 ?
Simply put, would an Amiga without CPU and Kickstart ROM boot if I use it with an ACA500+ ?
If nobody has tried or knows answer, I can test it myself by extracting those chips just didn't wanted to do it unless really necessary.
Thx.
Thomas
