He did and my CT60e has arrived. Just waiting on a 512MiB PC133 DIMM and ATX PSU.

What PSU are people buying for their CT60e?

I'm not a fan of the external PSU bricks but I guess I have to join the hurd and get exactly that.

FWIW, I use an 80W picoPSU. Make sure to get one that hasn't got a too high footprint. My 80W is level with the top of the SDRAM stick.

The Falcon/CT60 does not require much power. You can fit a 12V/5A brick inside the case with ease, especially if you replace the harddisk with a CF/SD-card. That's easier than finding a good quality ATX PSU that fits.

I am also potentially interested. PM sent to Willy with some questions. First of all, I need to know the price to have such a buy on my schedule!

Will 512MB double sided PC133 ECC DIMMS work with CT60e? Or do I need a NON-ECC one?

- Must support a CAS LATENCY (CL) of 2. CL = 3 may work with PC133...
- Must be UNBUFFURED.
- Must be populated with 4 logical banks chips (2 banks, obsolet, are refused). All DIMM > 32MB use 4 banks chips.
- 64 Bits (no Parity / ECC = 72 / 80 bits).

NOT SUPPORTED SDRAM DIMMs
- All PC100 DIMM that doesn't support CAS LATENCY (CL) of 2. PC133 DIMM with CL=3 seem to work...
- All OBSOLET models :
- 8MB, 16MB & 32MB DIMMs.
- 64MB DIMMs with 16 chips and/or chips on the 2 sides.
- All DIMMs with 2 logical banks chips (needs 4 banks chips).
- REGISTERED / BUFFURED DIMMs (generally for Work Stations & Servers, not consumer PC).
- All DIMM with only TWO chips on one side (32-bit data width chips).
- 512 MB DIMM with chips on 1 side.

The 80w should be enough, right?
Those would be ideal for my Mark X case.

Post by **joska** » Mon Feb 12, 2018 12:06 pm

80W is more than enough. My Falcon/Afterburner/Eclipse/spinning disk draws around a quarter of that.

Yes, but inside I have a 12v soldering hooked to mine as well for those fast loose buffer mod repairs

03.2018 Update.

As i have finished shipping of all preorders, reservations etc. From today the only way to buy CT60e is a new webshop that was finally finished (almost).

https://www.retro-cloud.eu/shop/hardwar ... ily/ct60e/

This is our new initiative to gather in one place all small vendors related to Retro Computing, and allow them to sold their product without paying ridiculous high fees on the leading auction portals.
We can offer smallest possible fees. As low As 0,5€ for smallest vendors, and up to 5% for regular shops.
No membership, No setup Fee, only small sale commision, only retro, no bullshit.

Please contact us if you wanna be a vendor or have any questions: https://www.retro-cloud.eu/

That's a really good idea.

alexh · Post by **alexh** » Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:10 pm

What would be an even better idea would be if such a site could handle all the red-tape with EU regarding small businesses (especially those selling electronics). i.e. The new EU rules have put several small retro PCB manufacturers (who do not want to break the law) out of business by the high fees that must be paid to things such as "Social Insurance" and waste-electronic-equipment taxes, electronic interference certification etc.

AdamK · Post by **AdamK** » Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:31 pm

"Social Insurance" is nothing new in EU. Waste-electronic-equipment taxes and electronic interference certification in general do not apply to retro stuff (there is a loophole for a devices that extend other devices, and that is 99% of retro upgrades).

I'm mad !!! Just the time to put the last card available in the cart and create the account to buy it from retro-cloud shop, it has been already sold!

I would like one! I just found this today, and they are sold out! Thanks!

Is it possible to create a version wherein the 060 is replaced with an FPGA running the apollo cpu core?

No.

But there is a chance the Vampire V4 can be made to fit a Falcon 030 CPU slot with a passive adaptor board. You'd need a specialised version of the Apollo Core to put in there to make it work. You won't be able to use the Amiga one "as is".
