NEW! A1000 Phoenix boards

[McTrinsic]

@weirdami

Yes.

Maybe if this can be organized well, you can buy chips en masse from some vendors for distribution with the new boards, but that is purely hypothetical.

So as a start for a new motherboard-run, please expect to butcher old (hopefully defunct) systems.

Have fun,

Please be aware that an A1000 is NOT a good idea as custom-chip-donor. The A500 would much better do: the phoenix needs an Gary and the A500-Agnus, NOT the A1000-"Agnus".

So you should really go for an A500. If you want to use a High-Res-Denise and an 2MB-Agnus you have to use chips from various systems anyway.

In any case: check with Andrew what is possible FIRST.

DON'T make too many plans about this project before haven an idea what it will be about.


Have fun,

Please read the comments by aPEX in the other thread:

It took 1.5 years to get the boards delivered.

Price for Germany including tax and shipping was about 300 Euros.

Read his comments!

You are up to a frustrating, time-consuming project costing you a lot of money.

Thinking about it... it is a typical Amiga project, then .

If I may make a suggestion: there is one of you interested who is from Australia. Looks like a good idea to make him the person to approach Andrew.

And if you are going to make any deals, let aPEX (again, see the other thread) know about it, he has a list of persons who didnt get a board last time.

Have fun,

Be sure you read and understand aPEX' post in the other thread.

There might be something possible, but at the time being it is not. Andrew can and will not do a production run by hinself, since he is lacking parts.

He is willing (afaik) to share layouts etc, so if you can organize something, there might be a possibility.

You would have to do a lot of work, it would not be a simple order. However - if you succeed, you would open up a new source for new Amiga-boards. Considering that there also is an accelerator card for the phoenix available commercally and the buddha ide interface, you would essentially bring new life to the classic amigas.

I have warned you, though....

Have fun,
