Introduction:
This is an IDE, ROM and RAM controller for A500. IDE controller has
maximum transfer rate 750kb/sec (or up to 1mb/sec with special ROM patch -
send email to author for more detailed info). FastRAM will speed up
machine if heavy video modes are used - 640x256 16 colors, for example.
Scheme connects to external 86pin slot of A500.
Archive includes next files:
hddmem1.iff - logic part of hard drive and memory controller
hddmem2.iff - RAM part of memory controller
hddmem3.iff - kickswitcher
hddmem.english - this document
Kickswitcher can use standard 271000 ROM chips, but you MUST have own
A600, A1200 or another machine for use its ROM image to burn ROMs to avoid
breaking copyright laws. Kickswitcher is optional, you may simply buy
A500 kickstart ROM and replace old ROM with it.
Scheme was tested on:
1. À500/1mb chip ram
2. A500+/2mb chip ram
3. A500/0.5mb chip ram
during 1.5 years and continues working now. There were approximately 15
HDDs different sizes from different vendors tested.

DD37-DD52 - DIP RAM 256K*4 (from 286 Motherboard :) )
Power of all chips - maximum number pin, ground - maximum/2 number pin.
Warning: memory vcc - pin 10; gnd - pin 20. EVERY chip MUST have
blocking capacitor!
Resistors: any 1-4k
Diode: any.
Jumpers: switches JMx between ground and Vcc.
n2K - switch 1.5mb RAM between addresses $C00000 and $600000
JM1 =0 fast ram on
=1 fast ram off
JM2 =0 2ìá fast ram
=1 1ìá fast ram
JM3 =0 ram overlays rom
=1 ram doesn't overlay rom
JM3 JM2
0 0 ram from address 60(C0)-77(D7), "rom" from address 78
0 1 ram from address 60(C0)-67(C7), "rom" from address 68(C8)
1 0 ram from address 60(C0)-7F(D7) & (78)-(7F), rom from address F8 (kickstart)
1 1 ram from address 60(C0)-6F(CF), rom from address F8 (kickstart)
JM4 =0 ROM ($F80000) write disabled
=1 ROM ($F80000) write enabled
JM5 =0 HDD (and CC0) enabled
=1 HDD disabled
Some old HDDs require 1k pullup resistors.
