A500 ++ Prototype

[Amiga_Nut]

Shame there isn't a similar project for the A1000. Good luck with it anyway though

what

No what I meant is a direct replacement motherboard for my 1000 with much improved specs. So with an 030/040/060 not 68000, 32bit Fast RAM on the motherboard too, KS in RAM not ROM and pref 32bit Fast RAM like some A1000 acc boards had. A super Denise and obese Agnus with 2mb Chip RAM would be nice. And actually forget SCSI, a 7200RPM 2.5" IDE drive and a 32bit IDE controller on the CPU is faster than any Amiga will ever require, and simple to find.


Also that product website is probably the worst I have ever seen, devoid of a simple explanation of features in the main page. It's all meaningless if you just want to know about it at the basic level not someone who already knows all about it Anyway I lost interest as soon as I saw there's 68000 on the motherboard so it's nothing like this project with 030 and 32bit Fast RAM on the m/b etc let alone an ECS upgrade which is impossible for an A1000.

I think it's great, a 32bit CPU and 32bit Fast RAM all on a redesigned board which you can swap out of a stock A500. Hard to find accelerators for old Amiga machines these days. Most are 030 A1200 boards on ebay if that, some people even list RAM expansions as accelerator cards hmmmm naughty.

The only thing is personally I prefer IDE, simple and with a 7200 RPM notebook drive would fit nicely inside the case and still be faster than the motherboard would ever require, even seeking small files.
