New A-EON Music Card for Classic Amigas

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I've used S/PDIF to connect the output on my PC's into the input on my receivers for years.  Love it, great addition to your card!

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

You cut your video off too early, I was just getting into the music!  :hammer:

MHI Driver Working!

That's nice, can we buy the card yet?  :lol:

Just kidding, congrats on all your hard work!

Also here's a really dumb question:  AHI and MHI.  AHI is a retargetable system that allows the use of different audio cards by any application that supports the AHI standard.  And MHI is more of a streaming library just for playing back mp3/mpeg streams, correct?

(obviously I don't do a whole lot of audio work on my system, lol)

Soooo...  Can we buy it yet?

After all, this card was to be two years ago.

How's that joke go, about "Announce a product... wait... blame it on someone else..."?  LOL, this card is probably just a glorified MP3 player, but what can I say, my Amiga purchases are a frivolous hobby for the money I'm not using to feed starving children in Africa, right?  Release it so I can buy one, LOL.  :roflmao:

Life ends at 100 mips, as that's the approximate speed of some of the fastest Amiga's (with real 68060's of course). Chase over!

I got an email from NASA today (I'm on some strange mailing lists), it was hyping how the avionics in the new Orion capsule could do 400 MIPS.  My first thought was "hey, that's only 4x the speed of an Amiga".  

Edit:  It's a PowerPC!  So now all you smart-asses can boast about how your Amiga uses the same processor as the Orion, LOL.

Just noticed this picture posted on their Facebook a week ago.  Looks like we're getting closer to a release?  

Edit:  Interesting that that appears to be an A1200 knockout port interface.  I assume they'll also have a standard expansion port option for big box systems?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

So it will roll out in 2016?

I'm voting for 2018.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

but whats interesting is a resulting initiative being discussed here:

Gah. I kind of wish people would stop beginning "new initiatives"  and work together to finish some of the ones we already have.

@Oldsmobile_Mike,

Darn, low balled it, again! ;-)

Any update? 2019? Anybody want to go with 2019?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I'm goin with 4138!

It'll go perfect with my Amiga X90000!

Almost 2.5 years now.

2.5 years ago I had my cart loaded with goodies on AmigaKit's website, only waiting on this card to be available before I punched "checkout".  I was going to order it all at once, figured "how long could it take before it's in stock"?

I never did bother to go back to complete my order for the rest of that stuff, either.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Fortunately all will be forgotten when we soon will have the X5000, A1220 and ALICE laptop....... ahum

Those do nothing for classic users.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

now there is anopther teaser though, maybe this time you should trust them:

They're making an announcement that they're going to have an announcement in another month?  Aw man, you gotta be kidding me.  It's like a carnival, only with less clowns.  

Kidding, kidding, but seriously now folks...  :p

What puzzles me is why Prisma havent been released for sale even if the software aint 100% complete. In todays day and age its no hassle to download updated software via Internet whenever the developers have tweaked issues/bugs.

Exactly.

I would still like to buy one, although I'll admit my enthusiasm has been somewhat dimmed by the long delays.  Hope y'all get your dev problems sorted out soon!
