Post by: Erol on June 05, 2013, 03:50:26 PM

This very talented polish man is making various Amiga and Atari Retro 16bit & 8Bit hardware.

Lets show our interest and see if we can get flashkick1200 in production.

I see that he's got price for the MiST @ 189.99 Euro.

Flashkick1200 looks interesting.

Its avery interesting project, and with 4 clockports, who can say no.

I have never heard about the MiST before, but it looks really great, and not to expensive.
It could be nice to see sysinfo running on it.

Yes it looks cool. I'd be interested in the flashboard w/clockports

Geez that looks very cool.  Hopefully his method of requiring the old kickstart roms to be actually on the board will get around copyright problems.  

I hope also that the modified kickstarts can then be mapped onto accelerators.    This could be a very cool product.

Doobrey was working on something similar (http://www.doobreynet.co.uk/flash.html). And I think Jens' original idea for the Kickflash was something like this (the product that shipped was different, though). There's also this (http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/DC-KF500) for the A500. It'll be nice if this gets into production - the idea's been around a long time, but never commercially executed. I hope it can hold more than just Kickstart - would be great to get something analogous to the Algor or Deneb FlashROM so that it can hold Poseidon and other ROM tags.

This is seriously cool!!
I've been wanting something like this for many years!
It can be used to enhance the a1200 greatly!

Have his floppy drive emulator :-) Will be backing this, although might be a tight fit with other mods that I have :-/

Does anyone have any other information about Mist? Can't seem to find the hardware spec.

For that sort of money I'd want to know more about it.
