"New" amiga hardware

[kickstart]

I dont find the thread of the new hardware from the natami fantasy authors... these fpga with ethernet, usb, hdmi...

how is the status of the new project? No news means more vaporware (for me).

Thanks.

And you have a "fantasy" posting because you are asking for something that is not promised. They are working on apollo accellerators to get it out. No news means no news (at least no officially) but you can think what you want and even be polemic.

On the real amiga (not sams or amigaones) world we need fantasy but no more vaporware... no news means no news, thanks for the info.

It's not really practical to do that level of detail, and I don't think it should be done.

For one thing, the blog would be the most boring ever. Imagine it being like this:
"Today I made no progress. Tracking a bug."
"Still tracking a bug."
"another day. where is it?"
"Found a missing equals sign. Hurrah!"
"Still doesn't work. D'oh!"
"Ripped out huge chunk of code. Too much like spaghetti."
"Bug gone. Now had to write data structures for input handler."
"Wrote input handler"
"Found bug and squashed it"

It'd be a proper yawn-fest, so nobody would read it anyway.

Also:


I don't know of anybody who blogs to this level, and even if someone does, it doesn't mean the rest of us have to.

Nearly all Amiga work is done part time now. You don't want to see lots of blogs saying "Nothing got done today", but that is exactly what you would see.

Also, I don't see why a developer "should" do anything. The developer is not employed by a user, nor is he behooven to him on any way. If Toni Willen does it then great, that's nice, but that's just his personal choice.

Put simply, a developer can do whatever he wants in the manner he wants, it is not for the user to decide what he must and must not do. Trying to force rules and regimes on people who are basically just doing it for a hobby and love of the platform more than anything else is just going to push what developers we have left away.

Thats not the problem, no one force to developers to code... the problem is the announced projects, years of "news" and a bunch of pics on a outdated web... if someone ask for news about the projectthe anwser is ambiguous... but isnt better to be a victim.

A good example are the morphos team, they advertise a real work which can be used.

Is more difficult to make the a1200 versions than the a500/600? There are more a1200 users than a600.

[kickstart]

Not me. I want newly made A1200 computers without updated chip sets and with nice 68030s or 68060s and modern connectivity. If only I was filthy rich

Yes... or a expansion "all in one" ethernet, usb, scandoubler... in working state not betas or fw fails.

[kickstart]

Why some developers choose the amiga 600? Is not popular like 500 or 1200.

[kickstart]

If You want to have a better amiga than those made by Commodore,
buy AmigaOne.

Amigaone is not an amiga, maybe you are joking.

@biggun

Vampire 500 is a project and dont know what is phoenix, phoenix reminds me to natami.

@ppcamiga1

This is the most stupid post ever.

[kickstart]

@biggun

Edited, sorry.

[kickstart]

@biggun

OK... then, where can i purchase apollo/phoenix or natami?

[kickstart]

@biggun

Yes bring up... i know the process, but you dont understand, you still talking about natami like was in progress, apollo/phoenix can follow the same way.

[kickstart]

Moderation... on a serius amiga forum users like ppcamiga1 will be banned =)

[kickstart]

@ppcamiga1

You talk about underpower and youre just a fanboy of amigaone, this is the real stupid thing.

@moderators

This is one of the best reasons for ban a user, talking crap about the amiga on a "amiga" forum.
