Wanted to put forward my interest in one but of course that forum doesn't appear to be accepting new accounts?

I've sent an email, but would be nice if this was offered through Amibay or elsewhere. My biggest issue is wether to trust handing over $220 NZD + shipping to me some unknown person.

The card does sound good though.

Hmm 060, now that would be interesting. Anyway would like to purchase one so emailed info@natami.net.

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:


2003? Can't remember, haven't lost money yet touch wood. Love for this card to be real a 500MHz A500? Yes please.

Although building 2MB chip into it would be great then I don't have to worry about fixing my A500 plus.

the card has LAN and a modern video output and it is promised that there will be RTG and a new improved amiga chipset added. At the start it is a accellerator with 128 MB RAM.


Which from what I was reading can be enabled over time with firmware updates as the hardware is all there just not enabled?

Would like to be part of this if I can as it is about time a good accelerator appeared especially with the tech that is available now.

The price is spot on too, anyway will hurry up and wait. Hopefully they will sort out their forum or allow interest to be taken here.

Still not working.

@OlafS3 Thanks for your help, hopefully we'll here some good news.

@kolla No expectations other than it's a fast card with 128MB RAM at this stage.

Whats up with you guys, lets get some more people interested. The card sounds like a step in the right direction.

Who doesn't want a 500Mhz A500? Kind of fitting when you think about it A500...500MHz...

I don't like the comment from Michal Warzecha saying not many posts for now, I don't want to see this fold.

Even if they could do a small developer/tester run through Kickstarter?

I have an VXL*30, could never find the RAM module for it so it's now sitting in a box.

I don't think the Amiga is cursed it's just the negative vibes that scare project developers away :-P

It can provide a 500MHz experience and that is all that matters. Now where do I send my money, and can we have some photo teasers?? ;-)

No, it is the OS that scares developers away, too much common infrastructure is lacking, too few standards are present.


You must have missed my :-P Smilie, oh sorry emoticon as they are called now. ;-)

Be interesting to know what the issue is with AmigaOS3.9. Even a 030@40MHz has no issues running it, have it setup nicely on my A500 at the moment using the IndiECS as an RTG card.

Which works really well apart from the occasional artifact/pixels but then the IndiECS wasn't really meant to be used as an RTG card ;-)
