From the project

An Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor.

Included here are two options (9VAC and Crystal Oscillator) for generating an independent TICK signal for the Amiga 2000 EATX. These could be used in other projects needing a replacement TICK generator, such as adding an ATX power supply to an original big box Amiga. Both options are very simple circuits, small in size, and designed to be placed directly on J300 of the Amiga 2000 EATX Rev 2.2 and greater.
