Title: Anyone finished a GB1000 from Kristian's run yet?
Post by: Jeff on February 23, 2009, 12:40:39 AM

I have not even started on mine. Does anyone have theirs running yet? I know Illuwatar was getting pretty close.

as far as I know no-one has finished their boards.... the Germans who bought boards will get closer soon as they have a combined order for parts which is getting close to being completed :-)
I myself haven't started on my board either, but I do have a non-working A3000 board to use as donor for all the custom Amiga parts :-)

Germans ALWAYS seem to be at the forefront of common sense and engineering. BTW: if anyone has an extra blank GB1000 board (at a reasonable price) laying around collecting dust, I'd LOVE to take up this project right about now...

I have bought a few parts and also have a dead donor A3000D to pull parts from (hope the Amber chip is still good), but other than that, I have not started work on it.

Does anyone have any new information regarding the GB PicassoII graphics card for the GBA1000?

I've started soldering the easiest parts on mine.  I'm still hunting for some components but I take it slowly.  The thing that worries me is the chip programming, I do not have the material for it nor the will to buy it so if anyone can offer the pre-programmed eeproms for the GBA1000 I might be a happy buyer :)

I'm also waiting for a cheap A1000 to fall into my hands...

PicassoII for GBA1000?  where? when? how? !
