New project for the benefit of all classic computing!

[Thorham]

It just seems silly for so many ppl to keep buying slow 030 accellerators and only using 16MB fastram or 32MB.

Not if that's all you need. Also, '030s make coding more challenging than '060s when it comes to getting things fast, and that can be fun. Don't be so quick to dismiss the '030

Keyboard membrane replacements ?

Yuk, membrane keyboards Isn't it time our Amigas got quality mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches?

2GB of RAM would be the absolute safe limit for OS3.x, simply due to the signed pointer / size arithmetic that goes on here and there as mentioned by matthey.

You're kidding, right? I mean, signed pointers and signed size arithmetic? What the hell were they thinking? Makes no sense at all.

[Thorham]

Do you mean complete new keyboards altogether ? Or to modify the existing ones ?

New ones. Amiga keyboards suck.

Membrane keyboards are horrifically antiergonomical and evil. :destroy:

Membrane and rubber dome keyboards are a load of crap

I would like to propose as a project that you produce an AMIGA keyboard using uniform 45g Topre switches and a PS/2 interface.

Topre is expensive, and Cherry MX switches are fine.

Looks like I am stuck buying  and trying Cherry Reds instead.

Nothing wrong with Cherry.

It's not a bug specific to 32-bit systems per se, it's a bug resulting from the inconsistent interpretation of 32-bit address values (when performing arithmetic on them )within different parts of AmigaOS and software that runs on it. Other operating systems may not be affected.

It's the same kind of bull as those ridiculous BCPL pointers. This kind of stuff makes no sense at all. People who write software like that should not even look at computers.

I don't care about the specific layout too terribly much.

PC layout is the best. One of these days I'm just going to get a PS2 mechanical for my Amiga and be done with it. Windows keys or not.

An new motherboard in a new case is a new machine.

I would kill for new A1200 motherboards

Holy Crap!(tm)  If you can make something like your block diagram that is just
Freaking Awesome!

That block diagram seems to almost describe a complete computer. Why even bother with the Amiga part?

I've always asked myself the question: Why? Add a graphics card and a sound card, and you've got a PC with a 680x0 CPU. Not cool

Keep it Amiga, guys

[Thorham]

Not sure why you guys didn't find that interesting, but for God's sake... 120MHz.

What do you even need that for? Crappy bloatware ports?
