New project for the benefit of all classic computing!

What I want from you now is what do you want NOW

Can you do replacement pal/gal chips for 3640/040 cards? Lots of those out there that need repair.
Matter of fact, the schematics for the 3640 are available. Could be a cheap start to a cpu card project, Though there are a lot of reasons it's not a well performing card, it's still a nice bump up from stock.

I will see if I can get the JEDEC files.

I have them somewhere if you'd like to give it a try. Looked at doing some myself but would have had to upgrade or replace my burner to handle them.

I don't mind waiting for something truly amazing.

Paul I'm not picking on your post at all, just referencing to add my point.....

I'd much rather see some smaller doable projects get done first, then build up to larger things if possible. I've lost count of the times we've all waited on some lofty hardware only to endlessly bash each other over the details, then watch it all end in tears yeeeears later with no product. Absolutely no offense to Rouge, but at this time I'd think the best authority on a 060 type card would be Jens. There must be good reasons he's not tackled one yet.

Rouge do you have any tangible game plan for an 060 design or starting out here from scratch?

Just saying based on past performance and products Jens would be well qualified to do such a card if he wanted. So far he hasn't. I hadn't followed FPGAreplay lately and didn't know about its 060. I hope it happens, but yeah it's a tad short on memory. A gig or maybe even just 512kb would be nice.

I'd read that the "Natami" version of the project was over with though Thomas is continuing the hardware project at his own pace. Unless there's been some other recent news, I don't know that I'd count on those cards making it out of beta for a while.

Personally I was rooting for the UltimatePPC card, but that may still have lots of development yet to go too.

Opps, should have been 512MB not K. In my defense, it is well past my bed time.

Do you know Amiga Phoenix project?

Yes, I am also the proud owner of a partially complete GBA1000.

I have the tools to assembly such a board.

Thanks, but spare time and interest are what lacking these days. On tools I'm fine. Just remembered too... I'm the one that translated the english version of the GBA1000 manual. Uhg, so many projects so little time. Off to the next one.

how will it attach to the back of the Amiga ?

For smaller cards you can always put the USB connectors on a slot cover via cable connector.  Some thing like...

The piece of Amiga hardware I want the most, besides an accelerator is ________.

Lack of network connectivity options is the main reason my miggys don't get used lately. USB+Ethernet would be tops and wireless ethernet even better.
