Good news, I am pretty happy with the hardware testing and I've sending the first boards out to the other developers .....
/MikeJ


@MikeJ
 
Is there a (published) list of those who've said they DEFINITELY want a board to buy (at either the first, more expensive batch or the latter cheaper ones)? As it would probably reduce the threat of email overload if there was and people could know they were on it and able to get one. If there isnt a list I strongly suggest there should be.
 
I hope I made it clear I definitely want one. It's my one hardware treat for the year 2011 and funds already set aside!

And the one you designed is how fast again?  :)

Why do people have to be so negative about positive things...

It's not Natami.  It is as fast as it was designed to be...

I'm happy with that..

Me too (and many others I suspect)

@MikeJ, will the board ship with a cut out plate for standard cases? Would probably add little to the BOM but would be so much more useful than not having it ;)

Thank you much for the link, Amigadave.

Stoked on getting one of these to run the BBS.


Got my BBS backup from 1993 waiting here ;-)

Any idea what the EXPANSION board is going to cost (with AND without 060)?

I've got money put aside for Replay and now need to for this goodie!

I'm away on a business trip at the moment so I don't have access to the two monitors to check and they'll be "discontinued" models by now anyway... ... ah, found it:

Viewsonic VA2223wm 21.5in 1920x1080 5ms DVI SPK

I bought it from Tiger Direct and they very good about putting the monitor specs on their site.

Here's a list of all of their current Viewsonic monitors:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=12&sel=Mfr;Mfr_903

Their cheapest is this one for $99 that does 50Hz with a single VGA input:
Viewsonic VA1931WA-LED 19" Widescreen LED Monitor - 720p, 1366x768, 10000000:1 Dynamic, 5ms, VGA, Anti-glare

Then there is this one (similar to what I bought) with VGA and DVI for $159:
Viewsonic VA2231wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 1080p, 1920x1080, 16:9, 1000:1, 100000:1 Dynamic, 5ms, VGA, DVI, Integrated Speakers

One word of warning, they do list 2 "square screen" models and they show 56Hz-75Hz so you'll want to avoid them for PAL modes unless you have an Indivision.



Darrin, how about this Asus monitor?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236112

Specs say Hv from 50Hz upwards on digital and analogue inputs.

You said your monitor only has D-Sub (analogue). Will you have to plug a DVI-VGA adapter in? I might need to do same as I need HDMI for 360, DVI for PC.

I'm gonna pick up a Samsung HDTV "monitor" of 23" and be a happy-camper with that one as it will have inputs for all my retro stuff, plus that it is 50Hz compatible. And it costs next to nothing...oh, and it has a tuner aswell -- which I ironically won't use ;-)


Which? Every Samsung I've seen is 56-83hz...

What model are you talking about? P2370HD or similar models? The specs say that it doesn't support 50hz through VGA/DVI, but only through the video-inputs (Component, HDMI, SCART).
Sometimes they will still do 50hz even if the specs say something like 56-82hz, but I'll have to wait till I get my MCC-216 to test it.
If not, I am thinking about a VGA-to-Component transcoder (without scaling and additional video processing) to fix that.


I'm looking at this one. Anyone able to confirm which inputs I could successfully use with Replay?

YOU have to email mikej to get on list not sure whos on list i think the next batch is between 40 and 50 not sure exact figure.


I recall that mikej asked us NOT to email him and said he had a list. However, despite saying I wanted a board many months ago I've yet to see any list or know if I am on the list. So I emailed and asked (and got no response to that question).

Easiest would be a published waiting list somewhere IMHO ;)

@mikej will you be emailing people on your list when you want payment. Ps how do I find out if im on the 44 list or the big 500?


I asked this on forum and in email and never got any answer so I would not expect you to get one :(

I'm just assuming I am since I asked aeons ago ;) but a published list would ease worries!

I hope you have more then 16...
What would be the process to buy it? Are all the boards from first batch spoken for? What's the final price? ships from where? Too many questions.


Anybody who'd read this thread would probably know that about 200 people have already indicated some months ago that they wanted a board. But Mike won't confirm who is "on the list" so we get another hundred odd posts of people having to ask if they are "on the list".

Come on Mike, publish the list or at least email people to tell them what number they are on the list ;)

The daughterboard is coming along in placement, and I picked up most of the components for the test board. I'm busy with testing, ce marking and the rear panel at the moment, but nearly there. The website is also taking a lot of time to get up.

I am hoping to get the daughterboard PCB produced on my next trip, early Jan.

Would make a great Xmas present to myself ;)

I havent got any email yet... I have enquired in the past about the Arcade FPGA with Mike but not sure if I am not on the preorder list or not...


Had mine a month or more ago.. pretty sure if you havent then you are not on the list for this 40 odd batch but on next list...  Having said that I've had nothing since and was hoping for an Xmas Amiga :(

I'd also be interested in an ST core (but prefer a fixed Amiga one first!) :)

The early prototype Daughterboard has 3 USBs but I saw mention of a network adaptor too. Are there any specs for the DB that are current?

Some months ago I was honoured to be told I was "the next" to get a Replay...

Well now we have some non-Replay news here

http://www.reghardware.com/2012/05/22/chip_maker_via_outs_49_dollar_raspberry_pi_alike/

Interestingly VIA now have a name for the Replay board form factor - Neo ITX

I wonder if any other standards will emerge while I patiently wait
