A project I'd like to see from Jens...

Perhaps it's time to have a look at FPGA Replay again?
It's a full Amiga with chips that can actually be bought.

It can be bought now? The website doesn't show any way of buying one and I've been on the list to get an FPGA Replay for ...a couple of years now I think.

I know that Replay isn't a Natami mess/situation but it's taking a really long time from our perspective.

Ideally this could be an upgrade board for the Replay instead of the '060 board it might one day have. FPGA chipset and modern board + FPGA CPU card.

I never understand comments that are against things like this.

I do understand that *you* might not want it, or that *you* might not favour a particular approach.

So don't comment, because there's the people making it who *do* want to build it, and there's clearly a lot of people who *do* want to buy it.

Majsta has already proven the idea, and made an implementation that you can buy today (http://kipper2k.com/amigaforsale/). That's more than a lot of people have done. Even the source code for the FPGA is open source and online (http://www.majsta.com/) for those willing to hack on it.

The only thing that I want these guys to do is finish the board & core, ship it. Nothing else.
Just an accelerator, everything else from then on is just icing on the cake.

If there was one thing I'd love to see from this it's that it would go open source, so many of these projects just disappear down the toilet and _everything_ is lost forever. However that's only something I would personally like, it certainly won't stop me buying one.
