Hey, that makes you also one of the very first A4000 users...
I got mine Friday the 2nd, around 13:00 GMT. Anyone earlier ? :)

>I'm very pleased with it.  Kudos to the Crew that Never Rests.

So am I. Even with that IDE interface in it. Now would someone just
give me my Zorro-III SCSI-II DMA plug-in card, PLEEEEEAZZZZEE, Dave ? :)

Have a look at your ALICE. It says VBB printed on it. Have a look
at the jumper near it: You have to set that one for the ALICE type.
The _other_ position is 8M. My guess: There was an 8M Chip planned
and not finished. So the A4000 only offers 2M. But well, with the
current AA modes, that's just enough. Maybe an 8M version will follow
some time later like the 1M and 2M Agnus followed the original 512k
ones, maybe the idea was entirely junked for the current chipset.
Who knows ?

As I understood it, you weren't supposed to use both ports at the
same time. And since the adapter is included, I get the same functionality
as before. 

What was the factory configuration of your A4000, and what did you
pay for it ? Mine was equipped with 2 MB Chip, 4 MB Fast (on a single 
module, not on 4), a Chinon 357A HD-Drive (supposed to be standard now,
unfortunately not 1", but 1,25", blocking the 2nd drive bay) and a 
Seagate ST3144A hard drive. Hmm, somehow I hoped for a Quantum.
Now I have to find some PeeCee-owner wanting to buy that hard drive
from me... At least it's not slow in reading. Even at small block sizes
(512 Bytes) it already reaches 170k/sec reading (DiskSpeed 4.2), and
maxes out just below 1 MB/sec. Certainly not fast, but usable. 
Writing is a bit slower at all block sizes.

If now just my additional 12 megs FAST RAM would finally arrive... I 
can't stand those 6 megs :)

I was looking into Phone Pak by GVP and I was told by Creative Computers
that it would not work on an Amiga 3000 with out some kind of 2000 style
memory ontroller.  huh??  The sales person said Commodore was working on
a DMA problem. 

So is there a DMA problem with the A3000?  And if so how do I get it fixed.
The Phone Pak add says it works with A2000/3000! 2 Meg ram and hard drive
required.

Does anyone know the real scoop.  Commodore?
Thanks for any help

Brian

PhonePak require 16-bit RAM in the A3000 in order to DMA successfully. There
seems to be a problem in either the RAMSES or BUSTER chip when attempting
to DMA to the motherboard RAM.  C= is looking into the matter and should
be releasing a fix (in what form, who knows) sometime soon.  Until that
happens, the only way to get proper DMA is with some 16-bit RAM.

     Gee, as I see it there are four possible solutions to your
problem:

     1) A setpatch-type program which intercepts OS requests for
undoubled screens and maps them to the Dbl equivalent.  Should take a
couple hours to write.

     2) Get a patch program find the call to open the custom screen in
your copy of PageStream and other broken programs, and fix it to use
your preferred mode.  (Which might not be a the matching doubled
mode--up to you.)  Faster than option one unless you have a lot of
software to patch.  This would be my choice.

     3) Call PageStream and get an upgrade that behaves properly in
the AmigaDOS 3.0 environment.  Depending on the vendor, this may be
quick or slow, and may provide significant new features.

     4) Put in a hardware scan doubler.  This should really only be
necessary with some of the more extreme modes, and such a board will
probably cost significantly more than the current scan doublers.

     Looked at this way, it is really a software problem, and not even
a Commodore software problem.  (Although based on previous experience,
I would not be surprised if later versions of 3.0 had a preferences
option available to select either always double or always undouble.)

That's basically true.  In the case of Zorro II memory, its obvious, since
Zorro II memory is only 16-bits wide and takes 560ns cycles.  A3000 memory
is 32-bits wide and takes 200 ns cycles.  Zorro III memory isn't inherently
slower, but there is always some loss when you convert between bus protocols.
So to be as fast, a Zorro III memory board would need higher speed DRAM.  In
the A3000, there are some practical limits as well.  The A4000 Zorro III 
conversion is a bit more efficient, but still subject to some conversion 
delays.

>Now with the A4000 the processor and memory are on separate cards.
>Does that not slow down the memory access? 

The physical location has nothing to do with any slowdowns.  If it did, systems
with SIMM modules and processor modules (the A4000 is one among many) wouldn't
be so popular.  The A4000 motherboard memory works just like the A3000 
motherboard memory, the location of the processor has nothing to do with the
speed.

>and if not then why is this just as fast as any memory that might have been 
>placed on the processor module?

Why should it be any slower?  Sure, you could in theory speed things up a 
little putting the memory directly on the '040 bus, maybe 64-bits wide.  But
just simply relocating the RAMSEY chip to the '040 card would buy you
absolutely nothing.

Not me.  The Amiga chips are all specficied for 25MHz operation.  The Motorola
chips aren't, and I claim it's impractical to replace a surface mounted 68030
(yeah, with a microscope and/or some heavy duty SMT tools I could do it, but 
not everyone is as good with a soldering iron).

>Will these machines be capable of using processor modules accessing
>the motherboard memory at frequencies higher than 25MHZ?

No, processor boards beyond 25MHz restrict their higher speed operation to
their module, which might include faster memory.

> Simple...  A 40MHz chip's *MAX* clock rate is 40MHz.

Yes, at the absolute worst-case operating evironment conditions, true. Any 
manufacturer has to design for these worst-case conditions. However, a hacker 
must not always do so. :)

And besides, most Motorola chips can, at "normal" operating conditions run at 
much faster clock rate than specified. It all depends on the operating 
environment (not only temperature, operating voltage etc, but also bus timing 
and such). The only definitie answer you can give, is what you wrote "it will 
work upto the speed specified -- period". That's the only thing guaranteed.

But, in most cases a Motorola 68xxx chip will work fine overclocked. A good 
example of this is the ZyXEL modems. In the later models, they use 16Mhz 68000 
CPUs overclocked at 20Mhz. Of course, they perform their own test for each CPU 
to check that it really works at that speed, since not all do. I have heard of 
several people that have used (say) FPUs @ 16Mhz actually clocked at 20 or 
25Mhz for years, with no problems. The most extreme example of this must be a 
FPU I sold used to a friend of mine. He has a C.S.A MMR clocked at 36Mhz for 
the 68030 CPU. The FPU is clocked with a separate crystal, so it runs 
asynchronously with the rest of the system. Well, he put the 68882 FPU @ 16Mhz,
and put a 33MHz crystal for it. Worked fine. A few days later, he got a 48Mhz (
!) crystal. Just for the fun of it, he tested that too. It worked fine! And 
still, a few months later, it still works just fine. There was no problem with 
heat dissipation, since the FPU generally runs very cool, as compared to the 
CPU.

Regarding Macros GVP G-Force, I guess his accelerator card will be the primary 
limit, most probably. Even if his CPU is able to go faster, I presume the 
timing of the accelerator card will not work out too well, if he would got 
beyond the 46-48MHz rate he mentions.

Things are even worse: There are 32-bit wide SIMMs for use with IBM PS/2,
Apple Macintosh IIFX and Amiga 4000. But all these are not compatible
with the ones made and used by GVP. GVP make their own SIMMs so they
