A500 Cartridge

[trekiej]

Is it possible to make a cartridge for the A500 through the expansion port?  I am going to check my A500 book tonight to see what the memory map says.
I remember how the NeoGeo had a 300 MB cartridge.
I do not think it can handle that much memory anyway with out extra logic.

I have seen a MC68340 micro controler on Mouser.
I would like to make an accelerator for the A500.
I need to invest alot into SMT/SMD technology.  

I got my Parallax/Ubicom SX48 in today and I almost need a magnifying glass to see it. :-D

You probably think this guy fell off his Work Bench and landed on his PC. : )

I am looking for stuff to do to a A500 expansion port.
I hope it survived the cold weather this winter.

I wish I could find CNC controler software for the Amiga that uses the parallel port to control stepper motors.

I also saw a box that allowed the A500 to have a New Tek toaster hook to it.  It hooked to the parallel port and video port.  I believe.

On a side note.
What do you think about Amiga Robotics?
That could be a great way to get Minimig into other areas of interest.
Oops.  Enough said.
Later.

Cool deal.
I am not for sure about the external box for video.
I saw one advertised in maybe Amiga World mag.  I wish I new more about it.

I have been out of the Amiga for a while looking to buy new hardware when it happens.I have 3 Amigas, A1000, A500, A1200.  I hope to produce something one day for the Amiga.  

I am a Vectrex fan too.  Why, I do not know?

Being able to run a cnc machine with my amiga would be nice.  I wish I could just buy a cnc machine and I would not need to build one. : (  

It is fun to me to be in electronics and robotics.
How could we define an Amiga-bot?

I know that elbox sells memory upgrades.  One will upgrade the video mem. and the other ram.  It says you can have a total of 10 megs. That would cost about 200.00 us dollars.
I would buy them if I could right now.  I believe the A500 could access 8 plus megs without an accellerator.

Who sells an A500 ide or scsi controller?

I guess in light of MS Robotics software, what could the amiga do beter?  The Amiga OS is much better.  It would be nice to have a robotics section on Amiga.org.

 :-D

I wonder if changing a cartridge would alow changing a function.  I saw a concept computer where the components looked like over grown carts that users could remove.  
 
I am doing what I can to get into cnc and robotics.  I want to use automation to get products to market faster.
I hope to do something for the Amiga community as well.

later

I appologize, I am not for sure on that.
