Please support Amiga.org by purchasing an advertisement instead of advertising in the forums.


Sorry, are you aware that Total Amiga Magazine is a NON profit Magazine? No one gets paid, or gets a bonus or gift. It is put together by dedicated Amiga Enthusiasts.

Like Amiga.org and the rest, we do it because we want to make a positive contribution to the Amiga scene.
The charge for the magazine is for printing, postage and packaging.

We could take out adverts, but then we'd have to raise the cover price to cover it.

Support us, don't knock us, get a subscription today.
YNWA!

I cant wait till 2008 for this ! jens and co quit the day job and get working ;) seriously its great that the amiga community has something more to talk about. an amiga portable game system would really rock, and so would an ITX style amiga with a1200 cpu slot!

Nearly all remaining Amiga companies are non-profit organizations.  :-P
So are you a registered charity organization or what?

Wow, great article!

Keep up the good work, Jens!

And Dennis, don't let this stop MiniMig - I'm sure everyone would like to see both projects come to fruition.

@Thread

Who needs the A600 accelerator now when an ITX board is coming!

Fistly this statement is horsehit - the company this thread is mentioning is not a non-profit body.

Secondly. Why is your ego so distorted that you
have to keep the last word even if it means boring everyone on the thread.
Mikey_C was on topic and relevant bringing the Jens interview in Total Amiga to everyones' attention.

Thirdly .. Pah!  :lol:

Hey, if there is a gigantic bounty for AMozilla to be ported shouldn't someone set up a bounty for the first person to put a complete Amiga into a single chip and demonstrate it, with AGA compatibility, in a mobile device?

We can keep legacy support but make it an optional upgrade and keep any designs lean and current.

If the custom chips in a chip design works okay - maybe a 68k CPU could be coupled to it.

Does the sold Freescale company own these patents?

I agree with InTheSand! Dennis, don't stop MiniMig!
By the way, it would be nice if Dennis released it under an open source license. ;-)

Well, this is incredible, and hats off and applause to Jens and Co.  This will breathe new life into the Amiga Classic world for sure.  Now I just wish I would be able to get to AmiWest.  I'm definitely planning on next year... finally.

Fantastic news indeed.

It may also put an end to the old 'that's impossible because  blah blah chipset blah blah' statements too.

I think it would be really wonderful if backwards compatibility could be maintained, and further advancements be implemented as well.  Doing largely the same things as older hardware, but faster, with more memory available, and good cheap graphics/sound card support would really be a treat.

There are several old proggies I would seriously consider revisiting with higher performance hardware.  I'm sure it could still only be a hobby machine for me though.

Hats off to Schoenfeld and Kastl!!! :pint: I'll drink to them!!
Good good study, day day up!

Thats really interesting news!

I didn't have a problem with that. It was the advertising that was unnecessary.
