Very cool indeed!! Nice work Hans!

I wonder why the DDR5-only limitation?

Gulliver:

Congratulations on being the first d!ck in this thread.

You could have asked if there were plans to port to other platforms in a nice way but instead chose to don your flame gear and toss an incendiary device.

What has been accomplished here is an amazing amount of work in nine months by a small team on a likely fairly limited budget.

Requesting that this becomes "open" and available to other platforms is naive to the extreme.

Normally I don't do the "angry" type of post but really dude, get a clue.

Well, if one could find a *working* PCI->PCI Express converter you could use newer cards on most Amiga with PCI slots or PCI boards...


Looks like Startech makes such a device. Anybody tried this?

I've never seen a PCI-E 1x graphics card.


You can plug a 16x card into a 1x slot. The card will automatically downgrade.

PCI slots (33Mhz/32bit) don't even saturate the 2.5Gbit/s bandwidth of a single PCI-e 1.0 lane.
