eFlash
4000 is an autobooting Zorro III card fitted with 16Mbit (or
8Mb--1MB version) of FlashROM memory with extremely fast 32-bit
design.
The on-board FlashROM allows storage of programs, which are
run at the computer's boot-up process. Every resident-capable
programs/libraries/devices and AmigaOS ROM Updates can be
stored in the eFlash 4000 flash memory and executed without
reboots on a cold Amiga start. This reduces the boot time
of classic Amigas dramatically and allows
initialisation of PCI cards installed in Mediator-equipped
A3000 and A4000 computers before the AmigaOS system starts.
The computer may be booted from mass storage devices connected
through various PCI controllers, e.g. Spider Hi-Speed USB
2.0 cards.
Users of the AmigaOS4.x operating system will have an additional
benefit: the eFlash 4000 card will give them a possibility
of definite shortening of the system's start time by executing
the AmigaOS code from the FlashROM memory.
The minimum hardware configuration: any
Amiga with Zorro III slots.
The recommended configuration: Amiga 3000 or 4000 with a Mediator
PCI system and a PowerPC procesor running under AmigaOS4.
