Tag: 44 pin ide

Adds 8 MB of Fast RAM and a bootable 44-pin IDE controller at the Amiga 500 CPU socket.

The assembled Lotharek revision exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27; the original Oleg Mishin design files, ROM, firmware, software, and four-layer PCB are public. The box contains only the board. Kickstart and Workbench 1.3 or newer can autoboot without a patched scsi.device. A socketed CPU makes installation simple, but an unsocketed CPU must be desoldered. Pin 1 must be observed when attaching CF or SD hardware because a reversed adapter can destroy the CPLD. The open repository documents the original A500 design, while the current seller alone claims A500 Plus support for its revised hardware.

Mounts a 44-pin SD-to-IDE adapter horizontally inside an Amiga 600 or 1200 and adds power, activity, and audible-access indicators.

The product page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. The box contains only the AmSider board; the SD-to-IDE adapter and SD card are separate. Pin 1 is marked beside the speaker and must be oriented correctly. The access buzzer can be disabled by opening its solder bridge.

Connects 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch IDE storage to a suitably configured RC2014 through an Intel 8255 interface.

The vendor states that a standard RC2014 running BASIC cannot load or save files through this module. Use its documented RomWBW or z88dk software path.
