I'll take 2 of them PJM!

BTW: has anyone bothered to put together a parts kit (sans Amiga custom chips) for these? Be nice to have a one or two stop shop vs. hunting, pecking and scouring multiple distributors.

On the plus side you'll be a soldering expert by the end - you'll be able to build a minimig in your sleep :D.

I'll bite the bullet and get one, so +1 for me!
The only concern for me is the custom PALS/GALS, if kipper or someone else can provide those as a kit that would be awesome.
I don't mind paying extra for hard to find parts or kits, for example surface mount caps and resistors.

I have bunch of spare custom chips and 1 dead A500 and one dead A2000, so I should be covered!

A1K.org did. We will as a board building group source the parts. You won't have to do any hunting as each item will have a weblink when I am done to order. Some can only be ordered in 10 plus quantities so some dealings will need to be done.

Theres a couple of guys that can program them - kipper included and he is looking to see what he can do to help at the moment.

already ordered all my pals + gals, ram chips/memory (except for 1, the 514400-60SOJ), one of the hard to get 74 logic chips, commodore chips and 50mhz 030 cpu + 50mhz fpu. the most expensive was the 16 soj ram chips)

now just to hit mouser for the rest of the 74 logic chips and find me some connectors...

coming soon will be a gary, paula, denise, fat agnus, amber and some cia operatives!

hopefully someone will be able to program all the pals/gals in the build-along ;) and I can ship my chips to them... (fingers crossed)...

Is it possible to change the CPU/FPU sockets from PGA to PLCC?
the PLCC versions of the CPU/FPU are alot cheaper and easier to source.
I got Freescale 68882 40Mhz from China for about $10 shipped.

Edit: Maybe just the FPU, because I cant see any PLCC CPUs, some surface mount.

Excellent.....

A few questions, In looking at GBA1000 website, some general version 1 specifications are given, as well as for unreleased version 5. I did notice some V5 basic documentation so this looks fairly recently displayed to public. What are specific V4 specifications. I am assuming that it is much like the V1 but having some fixes or optimizations. Can you confirm?

This is an exciting project. I have all Commodore manufactured donor parts needed.

Anybody know if 3rd party hardware is compatible with the GBA1000?

It is mainly bug fixes, but the new board is no longer tied to a specific version of the Agnus chip so you have a few options there now. It can also now take the Indivision ECS flicker fixer. Some additional hardware will work, but it is a seriously feature rich machine anyway. His website even has a Picasso II card you can build and an additional ram expansion plus the front and side slots for other kit.

It is a nice board for sure. More Ram = merrier even if a separate board has to be built. Looks like one could get up to 32MB this way. Use of Indivision ECS is huge. Not sure what the IDE is capable of at this point. I wonder what the Zorro II would handle in regards to hardware? Keep us all posted on this. I look forward to ordering the 2 boards (maybe up to 5 depending on demand and further price breaks)

With fully built ones requiring so much work and dedication they rarely come up for sale to the point that you could pretty much name your price for a completed working board.

been looking over the a1k rev0 pdf, puzzling through some german. Its not clear what kickstart it takes. Illuwatar's page sats 3.1 40.63 (but does not say, a2k, a500, a600 type etc).. the rev0 pdf _seems_ to say 'original roms'..  gba1k uses IDE, but not the same as A600 ide chip... so I assume we need an a2k kickstart?

but the original 1.3 a1k roms were files (been a LOONG time since I played with an a1k) not a rom? kinda confused what kickstart I need to get.

looks like I need to make a little pcb with an RJ20 to DIN socket adapter so I can use an a 2000/3000 keyboard.

I thought 1.2 was kickstart disk and 1.3 a ROM?
Anyway this board has two rom sockets so you burn your own or I presume use the A1200/A4000 kickstart. I need to check that however.
