I would love to add this to my A2000. Sounds like it sure will beat the daylights out of my 40MHz 030 accelerator, with a total of 21Mb of RAM. Yep - I'm in, if I have to sell half of what I own!
Hey, OldsmobileMike - where are you?

Tempted!  I just got home from work (yes, at 1:30am... it's an early night for me...), gotta think about it!  :)

Specs sound decent.  Really looking for something that could do full 68040/68060 emulation.  I'd take a 100MHz 68060 over a 500MHz 68020, but am happy to see any new development.  ;)

I also got the

error.  :(

Still a little hesitant especially with some Amiga hardware projects, notably a certain scan doubler.

I think the only thing Amiga-related that I ever backed, that I got totally screwed over on, was that coupon & shirt deal.  What was that, about 2003?  2004?  I still want my damned shirt, lol.  :lol:

I do hope people realize these are developer boards, not really meant as end user products yet.

Well, I like to assume that people have a reading comprehension above 3rd grade level, but probably best not to assume.  ;)

The purpose of the production run is to enable more developers to  write drivers  - and to enable testers to better test for full 68020  compatiblity. This is NOT a sales run for normal customers.
The cards will be provided with programming cable.
The developers are expected to update the card regularly.

The  cards will be produced for the developers/testers for participation fee  on the production run. I expect this cost to be in the range of about  150 %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364; total.
So, they're for people willing to test the hardware, as well as developers.  I think several of us would fall squarely into that "tester" category.  ;)
