I have just two question.
When can I get one to replace my dead-due-battery-leakage A500+ mobo;
Secondly, what will be the cost, if it can be seen more clearly? (Possibly this was answered but I haven't read all the comments ;P)

You probably are better off buying an A500 plus again.
The project is Netherlands only so far and this board didn't do anything so it was back to the drawing board, Amiga-Digital is now designing it in modules, so something like Natami and the old Cyberstorm MKI.
When that works it will be made a full board like the one above.
If the alpha and beta testing goes well for us maybe then you will have a shot.

Not my place to criticise but wouldn't it make sense to join forces with the NatAmi project so we can actually get something out there? Better to release a single product rather than nothing at all?  :confused:

Anyway i think it's great someone is releasing something for classic Amiga. Might consider one of these instead of the NatAmi ;)
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

I'm sure you know, that the NatAmi project aims to recreate the Amiga in programmable logic, this project aims to design a computer that uses actual Amiga custom chips akin to the GBA1000.

So I guess that's why. What would there be to combine?

I would buy it. I wantee.
My machines:
PowerMac G4 MDD 1.5ghz 1.25GB 10.5.8 & MOS 2.7
Mac Mini C2D 10.6.8 2GHz 3GB 250GB HDD

Underground Gamer invites (a classic game site) PM

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

This is absolutely amazing! I am always speechless when it comes to the amount of creativity in the AMIGA community!

I'd buy one!

I'd say it's actually better to have multiple projects where different people with different ideas can work independently, that way ideas aren't lost in compromise.  Someone else down the road could pick up and make decisions or compromises between two or more projects to make a derivative.

Some people in this community are frelling amazing! Keep up the good work.

There is nothing stopping any one or group from starting their own hardware project.
