Hey out there,
I want to share with you an actual Project on a1k.org for a Amiga 2000 replacement Board!
First protypes arrived and are ready for assembling. This will be a "do-it-yourself" Projekt.....
Actually there is NO DATE for a community order... but maybe it will come :laughing:
Red is beautyfull :)
-
Interesting as long as I only have to put in the CPU and the custom chips, without any soldering.
-
Neat! But why didn't they go the whole hog and make them 6.5? Latest & greatest, and all that...
-
What is the purpose of new boards? You can't just go out and buy the custom chips new. I think if I were going to produce a new motherboard I would make it use current production parts, FPGA for the chipset.

Ha... are the parts included..

Um, for people who have motherboards that have been eaten by leaky batteries? :p
-
I would get one of these to build!

As in the past done with the A4000T selfmade-Project, I think you will get the board and the barts in one lot..... or you can unsolder them from defektive boards.....

I was thinking the same, it's excellent for people who have had their mobo tracks broken for one reason or another.
-
Ooh, if these are made publicly available at some point then I might consider ordering one. Are the new boards mil-spec? ;)

Wait, you can get a replacement A4000T motherboard?

Yeah, that's about it because you'd need a case and keyboard anyway.
I wonder if they could respin the board in a standard case size.

You could get bare boards at one time but I havent seen them in a couple years now.
-
Now that is cool! I wish i could solder like Acill
-
did this get any legs/get anywhere?
only reason i ask is i'mg going to start putting the components into eagle to build these boards.
-
I would like at least one of these. Are they available somewhere, or the gerbers?

My guess is it's the 6.2 fixes that "mattered" and so they sensibly decided to incorporate up to that level on the PCB.
Indeed, it seems:
6.3 boards just bring ECS Denise and KS 2.04
6.4 - 6.5 boards support the 8375 Vbb replacement Agnus for the older 8372A (they still got it wrong on 6.4 and had to rework, 6.5 was probably a correction to the "correction").
So 6.3 is a cosmetic and 6.4 - 6.5 an undesirable difference, as the vast majority of Agnii out there (either as working motherboard pulls or individually available chips) is the 8372A (318069-029) and not the Vbb 8375 1 MB replacement (318069-16/17).
Hence the 6.2 rework level.

I am glad someone has done it.

Maybe, you just have to jump through about 30 hoops of fire and spend six hours registering on A1k to find out... lol, ugh. :lol: :angry:
-
I started redrawing the a2k schematic in KiCad to see if I could make a board someday but if its already been done..
-
That is good, but an A4000D seems like it would be more in demand and one that I would buy. Maybe someday.

Actually, an Amiga 4000 reworked to fit in a standard ATX case would be the cat's meow!

I'd second that, especial in a compact mid-tower or better yet, an MATX case.
With an ATX power supply connector.

If wishes were fishes, right guys? :laughing:

Oh thats no fun..lol... would be great if it was a kit..
