FPGA Arcade ..? :P

Sorry, it's just that expanding existing hardware at some point comes point of diminishing returns. And in essence will be a super computer with a I/O bus called Amiga motherboard. ;)

Is there enough logic to squeeze SATA inside?

And a box that looks like an Amiga and works like an Amiga but really just consist of a FPGA board should do? The only catch is hardware expansions but those might otoh be loaded into the FPGA in many cases.

Anyway, what causes the instabilities that is mentioned?

The Amiga 500 might need the extra speed more than any other Amiga model..

Actually I would prefer some small box with a separate keyboard attached and some serious specifications inside that box.

A3000 comes close though.

I assume the CD32 has the same dimensions as the predecessor, the "CD". Makes one think about perhaps a 19" rack mounted Amiga ;) Probably completely inconvenient for the typical usage.. but there's something about it :D

(Amiga CD32 dimensions seems hard to come by..??)

Think German time for IRC. It's not exactly convenient for people in the states.


Which is why discussion forums are so much better. Aside from that people tend to think more before hitting enter in such type of communication.

Let's have a 200 MHz 68060 Amiga in 19" rack with separate keyboard. And of course AGA, Paula etc.. ;)

The only really gotcha is that new Amiga style keyboards are hard to find new..

I suspect FPGA Arcade is using up some developer resources..

Time to write some burn-in or systems check software?

Perhaps TG68 needs a rewrite?
