Hey Dude! I have been a CD32 owner since 1994 and
it is my favorite Amiga. The Ideas you have, I had
for a long time and even submitted them to Eyetech
but they refused unless I could find at least
500 buyers. But as well as a new backplane peice for the
SX32 it should also include a passthrough for the
Full Motion Video Card to fit internally underneath
the SX32 (u might have to eliminate the VGA port
on the SX32 backplane, but that dont matter
because you can add the adaptor to the RGB port
if you need VGA. I have already tested the FMV
and there is definitely space under the SX32 to
fit it. but you have to remove the metal sheilding on the CD32
and also the metal case of the FMV card. Now you probably think
it is not important to support such a port because
no one can find a FMV card anyway! no this is still
necessary because it leaves room for someone to create
a new FMV card if needed...or even better...a DVD decoder
that can decode MPEG1 (VideoCD) and MPEG2 (DVD) as well
as MP3 audio and more.....Just imagine the possibilities
you can use it with scala.... I have already done this because
I have a SX-1 as well as 2 SX32 Pro's.....one of wich I am willing to
sell you. But it will have to be the 33mhz one
because I am keeping my 50Mhz one....although
the 33mhz can be upgraded to 50Mhz and 128MB of RAM!
I already tested it and it works!
We will talk more....but if you do find someone to
make this new PCB.... please make sure they add
an extra port under the SX32 board to add an FMV
or new cards internally, aside from the external A1200
adaptor. By the way... there is someone working on
adding the Motorola Cold fire 300Mhz procesor to the
CD32! there is a website...but I cant remember it at the moment
. I will get back to you soon.
