Amiga Inc. don't own the rights anymore do they? I thought everything was deemed to be the property of Hyperion following the court case?

With the Kickstart ROM replacement work being done there may be no need for a license soon.


OS4 is the only thing Hyperion owns.

Pretty sure that's not true.


Prety sure it is.

30 September 2009, Hyperion was granted an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide right to AmigaOS 3.1 in order to use, develop, modify, commercialize, distribute and market AmigaOS 4.x and subsequent versions of AmigaOS (including AmigaOS 5).


Means they have a license to use AmigaOS 3.1 for development and marketing of AmigaOS 4 and above.

Doesn't mean they own it, it actually means they don't own it, but they have the right to use it.

'060's are not cheap regardless if they are going on a Natami or a Replay board.


You can buy an 060 for about $40.

Strange from the link on freescale site
 
EC has both
 
LC has no FPU ???


LC has MMU but no FPU. EC has no MMU or FPU.

Not entirely true, as to read at prev. site... or the chip here is printed wrong.


An EC is an LC that has a MMU that tested bad or that was never tested.

Don't count on the MMU of an EC to be working 100%, if at all.

Where is the statement that it's 64 MB onboard?, last update on that issue said 32 MB asfaik.


Page 5 of the schematic.

I know that the display modes are controllable by the core, but my question, or hope was that more advanced display modes could be supported with an actual graphics RTG card connected to the Replay board, or to it's daughter card.  Display modes from the core will be limited to the softcore AGA code and it would be nice if there was a way to also have some more powerful, better looking display modes from a video card.


Don't need a video card, Minimig AGA has one built in.

+1 :)

Biggest reason why I will never own Minimig because it is completely burned in my brain and will not change is nothing more than UAE running on ARM. However, FPGA is completely custom based, real chipset, in my opinion the new and latest Amiga upgrade had Commodore continued in the line of 68k Amiga. Is why I did preorder for FPGA and did not spend a dime buying Minimig even if it is out already for sale.

If I am going to be running "emulator" in a hardware and pay for it, might as will use WinUAE and it is for free and no need for additional keyboard/mouse/monitor/space. But since FPGA is "Re-implementation" I will buy it :)


Uh...

Are you serious?

Because its a simulation and simulations are not real.  You can make up 1000 different simulations of something and get 1000 different answers.


Then the thing you're simulating is random, or your simulation is wrong.

If they actually knew the answer for a fact then it would be called a Calculation, not a simulation.  Right?


No.

No I actually got the right quote from them saying it is 625 Euro which is equivalent to my currency as 825.

"Vesa FPGA Arcade" Promotion :It includes the FPGA Arcade's board in an Antec Mini ITX Case, the ATX Power adapter, the IO BackPanel, one 8GB SD Card, the 90W external power supply of the Mini ITX case, all fully assembled !You'll just have to copy your kickstart, ADF and HDF files on the SD Card and power on the board with the power button of the case !
525,00 €
1
525,00 €

Shipping and handling is 100 euro.

So yeah it is going to cost me 825 dollars...so if that is going to cost me 825 dollars what about accelerator? I am not saying that as an attack, I am saying that as a mean of determining how much I need to save up that is all.


Why would you order that bundle? It's a horrible deal. You're paying almost 300 euro for a $80 case and a $10 SD card, and insane shipping prices.

Someone at least believes me! So what advice do you have? I do want to buy the board itself and then buy the parts separately I sorta want to have a full system. What recommendation do you have then?


Buy the board from MikeJ, then buy a case and an SD card from a local computer store.
