Don't forget the Akiko chip emulation for C2P conversion.  Not sure how much software relied on that though.

Is it possible to buy the FPGA Arcade and buy the '060 board bare so that I can put my own '060 on it?  If so, would the board clock anywhere from 50MHz to 100MHz or are there specific frequencies it needs to run at?  Mine are 66MHz for example.

Hello,

   While a fan of the current board form factor... would you also consider a different layout of the board that contains the current FPGA Arcade and the '060 board?  I for one could definitely live with a larger board.  My thinking is either an ATX size board - or a board that we could fit inside of an existing Amiga case - like an A1200 or A4000.

Thanks!

Why?  I would rather have a single board solution myself.  Keep tacking on other components and it can get a bit kludgey - in my opinion.   Electrically I'm sure there would be more worries about noise and maintaining good contacts.  A re-do of the layout could happen any time - I'm not demanding anything - just a suggestion.  I could add about 15 different little boards to my A1000 too, and instead the GBA1000 is an awesome layout.  And as Darrin just mentioned, some of these would find homes in older existing Amiga cases - or if in ATX layout in any standard PC case.

Again, I'm happy with the way things currently are - just bringing up some ideas.

I can tell you in secret that I'm working on a new board which integrates an FPGA and 060 CPU together with other goodies. It won't be a direct replacement of any existing Amiga mainboard.


TAKE MY MONEY!  No, seriously... TAKE MY MONEY!

ATX/Baby ATX form factor?  If so, awesome.  I have several '060s waiting here patiently.  Me, not so much.

Thanks!
