DCE A5000 zip file

[Lemmink]

I can't remember why this clone didn't appear... was it due to the lack of available AGA chips?

Nope DCE thought they could not make any profit with the board due to the high price per board due to the low volume. Kinda ironic if you look a th AOne situation today. Back then you could have sold a few thousand of those boards. DCE decided it wasn`t worth the trouble.

I've send an e-mail to Thomas Dellert of DCE, so I'm curious if he will reply

If something even remotely amigarelated is in the subjectline your mails is likely to be deleted automatically. Thomas Dellert really does not want to hear a single question about Amiga anymore. There have been to much freaks (in the negative sense) bugging hin in the last years, so he got fed up with that.
I have heard that he even gave all leftover Amigaparts to the recycler / citydump rather then selling it and having the buyer bugging him about something.

Yeah I got my PowerUP Developerboard from those sales and one of those 10x A600 Mobos in a Box. (I was only interested in teh original Commodore transportbox but in the end there was even one working A600 board among the bunch ). I was told back then that the A5000 prototypes would go on sale on ebay the next days too, but I guess he decided not to do it to avoid the buyer bugging him about documentation and "how great it would be if the boards would go into production after all those years"

@ Jose

The A5000 was basically a mix between an A1200 and an A4000 with a general overhaul. Scandoubler and 4way IDE-Adapter onboard, could take up to 64 MB FastRAM onboard. CPU 68030/68882 @ 50 MHz The rest would be the standard AGA Amiga stuff.
Bus would have been Zorro II/III on a custom daughtercard.

There was an A6000 planed that had an 68060 instead of the 68030/68882 combo.
