Anything ever come of this?

I guess not as it's been a long time. My god I remember this thread as if it were 2 years ago at most. Time flipping flies.

Yeah highly unpraticle, but since it's never gonna happen anyways, why not go all the way ?

It's quite clear that the thread-starter doesn't fully comprehend what he is talking about.

Just have a look at some of the projects running at a1k.org (I think some similar projects run on EAB). Yep those guys are doing accel-cards, RAM-expansions and even full Amiga-replacements boards and none of them is etching their cards in te basement, the all use proffesional tooling companies (and at the prices i see quoted from time to time anything else wouldn't make sense even for the simplest of PCBs).

Well o.k. Herzi will do his prototyps "electron-cloud"-style, but thats surely not an option for stuff you plan to offer on sale.

Edit:
Mind you the projects the thread-starter mentioned would be doable basement-style (just not in a practical/reasonable way) it's more that some of the early responders carried this thread into lala-land.


That had to be the funniest thing I have read in days.
I want an Amiga made of gold.

I think if this is a serious venture that an FPGA accelerator for the A3000(T) and A4000(T) with 1GB of RAM onboard would be an amazing first start. PPC would be nice too, but I would take something with the power of the Vampire II for my A4000T.
