Subject: '030EC - Uses for MMU on Amigas?
Summary: How much use *is* the MMU in an AmigaDOS environment?
Keywords: 68030EC, 68030, GVP A530
Date: 16 Nov 92 14:30:56 GMT
Organization: Comp. Centre, Swinburne University of Tech., Melbourne, Australia

I recently posted a request for info on the GVP A530 accelerator combo,
I can't be sure whether it got out (feeder problems).

Anyway, I discovered that it has the '030EC. A (possibly unknowledgable)
friend is of the opinion that the MMU is not disabled in these units, just
unwarranted. I always thought it was disabled in the 'EC. Could someone
clarify?

Further, just how much use is the MMU in an AmigaDOS environment? I know
enforcer uses it (and I do a fair amount of 'C' programming), but is it
worth forking out approx. $400 more to get it just for that? Are there any
other uses?

Another thing - the 68030 that is supplied with the '530 is a 40Mhz job.
Is this overclocked or is Motorola actually producing 40Mhz CPU's?

Lastly, to repeat my original question (from the post that may not have been...)
can I have some feedback on the relative worth of the GVP A530 combo? Is
it a decent accelerator option for one who can't afford a 3000/4000 at this
stage?

Thanks for any info..

regards,
Darren.

Hmm.  To check whether you are hitting a tar problem, or something else,
just bypass tar for a bit.  Copy some data to the tape in Unix like
this:

    cat myfile > /dev/rst0

Then see if you can copy it off under AmigaDos via:

    type tape:

If you can do that OK, then you have a tar problem.  If you can't,
something else is going on, but at least you'll know where to look
further.

gbrandt> Gregor

The EC020 and 020 are not pin compatible.  The PGA package of both
chips is based on a 13 X 13 grid but have different pin outs.  The
surface mount versions of each chip are generally different physical
shapes.  

One of the chief differences between the two chips is the pin outputs.
Fewer pins on the EC version makes for a less expensive chip.

The only thing that the 020 gets you that the EC020 doesn't is a
larger address space.  This is significant, but the best way to expand
that on a 1200 would be thought the "trapdoor" expansion, by putting
an accelerator processor there with its own RAM.

They may have erroneously blamed it on the A4000 at one time, but they no
longer do.  GVP has a ROM upgrade for their controllers to allow them to work
fine in the A4000.

I am having problems setting up an A1200 with an IDE Quantum Go drive.
I dont have a spec sheet for the drive, so the jumpers are set as shown:

	O----------------------------------O

ie. the only jumper is to CS.  The drive came with the jumper to DS but the
Amiga would not boot in this case.

The drive starts ok, light flashes, but HDTool box can't find it on any 
device 0-6.

If you can help please email me:  M.Saunby@reading.ac.uk

Even a better, lower cost solution is a A600 with a PCMCIA ethernet card.  All 
that is currently missing is a driver for such a PCMCIA card.

There are ethernet "cards" for the parallel port and I assume also arcnet 
cards.  But again you would need a driver for the thing.

A disabled person may have use for a semi-automatic rifle but except 
for that semi and fully automatic rifles are of no civilian use. They 
are generaly made for one thing: to kill other humans.

It would be good if a disabled hunter would be able to get a 
semi-automatic but that *anyone* who enters a shop will be able to buy 
one is a bit too much.

	It may the the resistors grr mentioned, but I also suspect the
timing of various interface signals.  You may well find that the drive has the
same problem on all 2.0 machines.  The <=1.3 trackdisk driver was somewhat
slow, and had redundant code in places that slowed the sampling of some
signals, and increased the time for some waits over our hardware spec for
drives.  We did put kludges into 2.04 for some drives that were slow at
moving the DiskChange signal after select, and there's a patch in the 2.1
setpatch to slow down the post-write delay to better handle some very old
drives.  However, with 3rd-party drives they may have no known the actual
hardware specs for Amiga drives.  (Few (if any) such companies contact us for
information - they simply buy commodity drives, and if they work they ship
them.  Some or most may not even realize that there is a spec and that not
all 3.5" drives manufactured meet those specs.)

	The relevant timings include (spec) 1200us post-write delay, 100us
head-switch delay, 3ms step delay, 15ms settle delay.  2.04 uses 2000us
post-write delay, 1000 us head-switch delay, and also adds ~15us delay after
select before looking at DSKCHNG.  The 2.1 Setpatch makes post-write delay
4000us.  2.0 makes step, settle, and calibration-step rates changable.  3.0
makes post-write delay and head-switch changable also.  (For information,
<=1.3 used 2000us/1000us for post-write/head-switch delays, but with more
overhead than 2.0x.)

In AC's GUIDE (summer '92)  a German Company is listed as making several
Transputer boards (pg 143).  Now I assume that since this is an Amiga
Guide that the boards some how interface to an Amiga.  The company
details are:
     Advanced Computer Design,
     Carl Schurz-Str. 11,
     D-2800 Bermen 1,
     West Germany.
     (011) 4942-1349-9517

The 3 products listed are;
   Megalink 01 Transputer Board:
      - upto four transputers with up to 4MB each
       
   Megalink 02 Transputer Board
      - comes with one T800 (1MB to 8MB RAM) and upto 2MB Video RAM.
      - 1MB RAM and 1MB video RAM 6499 Duetschemarks

   Megalink 03 Transputer Board
      -I think this is the same as the Megalink 01 board but it inluces
       a T800.

I'm not connected with Advanced Computer Design, I don't even know if
they are still in business or even if they still make Transputer boards
for the Amiga.  If anybody has more info I would like to know!

 Well, if you know how to export filesystems on a Unix-Machine, it's easy :)
 The above example mounts the CD-Rom of a unix machine to the Volume
 'CDROM:' on my Amiga. 600MB avail via NFS.

 You even can use NFS to swap MEM with GigaMem (slow...), make a BackUp and
 much more.

I got my A1000 back in 1987 along with an A1081.  The 1081 has both a SCART
connector from the A1000 and a composite video connector which is hooked up
to a VCR.

If I have both video sources running, and the RGB/CBVS switch set to RGB the
Amiga display is perfect.  If I change the switch, the composite input is
visible but has lost it's sync (ie it reframes both horizontally and
vertically).  If I disconnect the RGB connector the VCR picture is now
perfect.

I remember ages ago that there was a hack which allowed both video images to
be selectable via the switch without the loss of sync.

If you have it, or know where you can get it, please post it!



Thanks in advance,
Phil.

Most likely not. The Amiga 2000 is a 16 bit machine and aga is 32bit, thus
there are problems. Maybe there will be an upgrade for the 3000, but not the
2000.
