@AJCopland Yes thank you for the schematics

I told you i just need something to start

@Damiga No prototype yet but all tests are done and all seems to be ok. I ll order prototype in few days.

The desing should work now but without memory... I stuck with sdram controller. As i can see there are some works implementing minimig to de1 and de2 boards but this cant help me. Is there any examples of connecting tg68 to memory controller. Is there anyone who can help.

And here is video where led use clock from motherboard over clock buffer, clock multiplier to internal pll of the cyclone... Concept proven...

Ok here is the situation, all money I colected to start and finish this project is gone. I don't have money to finish it. I need money to buy some equipment like hot air gun, logic analyzer and need money to buy some more parts and more amiga 600 boards. So I send some suggestion to kickstarter but is there any way someone can help donating A600 board or something, or is there someone who can give me some kind of financial support. Can you point me where to go to find help regarding to this because as I can see there was number of project who are finished with help of amiga comunity. Idea is as you know to have open hardware and software website... Can someone point me what to do next.

I didn't write on this forum about the progress. I just want to inform that I m sill working on this project. It is hard and very slow but then again most important thing is that I m still working. It is not easy but definitely I m making some progress. Board now called Vampire 600.
So here it goes.

Performing reset using Accelerator board

Vampire 600 starting BOOT ROM

Disabling onboard MC68K( bus takeover) and writing to Amiga color register with simple VHDL softcore

http://youtu.be/XVnHosGFiU8
Controlling Amiga display with mouse using just FPGA(MC68K disabled)

Those videos was the last stage of proving hardware concept and one step to the softcore integration.

And one more video about using Accelerator board as logic analyzer for repairing Amiga motherboards.

First signs of acceleration.

Cyclone II nothing special but it is enough to do the job

Basically I think that it could be done with any FPGA.

Thanks all. like I said before it is not so important what FPGA you are using. I could use Cyclone4 but there is no need for that because complete code is just about 6000 LE and Cyclone 4 goes as I can recall to 115 000 and there is no use of that only increase of eventual production to +200 USD.
