32MB for your Amiga for 22$ ?

[JimS]

Speaking of Xilinx, there are several FPGA dev boards out there that have DDR ram already installed. Up to 32MB ore more. They have free cores to interface the DDR ram as if it were static ram. Why not simply use one of those boards on a carrier designed to fit the Zorro slot?

A board like This one from XESS is only 89 bucks... and it has ps/2 and VGA ports which open up other fun possibilities. ;-)

Do you like the look of the XSurf?
carrier boards suck eggs.

Actually, I don't give a rodent's rump what it looks like, so long as it works. ;-) My thinking was this was a personal hack, not a commercial product. So it would be easier to produce a carrier board that fit the Zorro slot and could be hand soldered, rather than try to deal with those SMT chips.

Well, it "could" have become a commercial product...

It still could, if someone thinks there's a big enough market to make it worthwhile.
