After a year in this amiga world I never heard of such a device and therefore I do not believe there is one out there - however I thought of asking to see if maybe there where / or are some experimental projects like this one.

If there is nothing like this then what is the main limitation to the development of such a device? (apart from lack of interest, time and money :) )

Regards,

I dont think there ever was one and i dont think its possible because the A500 has a 16 bit bus and the A1200/CD32/A4000 AGA amigas are 32 bit .

You could always try and stuff an A1200 motherboard into the A500 i guess , dont know if thats been done before .

Nice to see another Amiga user from Malta BTW ..

I understand :)

 

Yes buying an A1200 would be nice. However I would never change the A500+ I have. This is the system I used to play with when I still was in primary and therefore I am more interested in upgrading it as much as possible rather then replace it.

 

Yes same here :) Wonder if there are any other Maltese Amiga Users around here! :)


I am sure there are other Maltese Amiga users .. We should create a thread and find out .

Who said anything about replacing your Amiga ?  Just get more like i have LOL  See my list of Amigas below :P
