The PCB assembler just sent me this :

"I am actually preparing the setup on the pick&place tonight. It's almost done, as I have all the component packages in the vision library already. So when I get the packet with the components,  I'll be ready to load the feeders and start the production. From the  optimization process, it looks like approx 6 minutes assembly per board, on the slowest of my machines. I will most likely run the boards on friday, and I will shoot a little video of the process"

The components seem to be taking quite a while to get there, but hopefully tomorrow.
I'll post a video of the assembly when I get it.

I do post here more than other groups, but the interest has been high from the Atari and arcade game bunch as well.

oh, If you haven't been yet, visit my mates page
http://www.harryfew.com

I put a link on the fpgaarcade page and he is very excited to go from 2 hits a month to hundreds a day :)

He lives in China and is helping me with sourcing there.
/Mike


One thing we keep forgetting is the other cores that will be available/developed.  What's the situation with them?

(I've given Harry another hit)  :)

I'd second that....it would be one of the stars of the show if it could make it there :)


I bet they could raffle it and send Mike a cheque for a tidy sum instead of mailing it back.  ;)

@mikej, "many 68020 enhancements" enough to make it run 020 code without hickups?

Deep pipelenes, giant cache etc.. has to be a later problem ;)
Btw, one could possible use the onboard DRAM as L1/L2 cache as the speeds are enough I suspect.


As long as OS3.9/Classic Workbench AGA runs on it then I'll be happy.  :)

Does all versions of AmigaOS 3.x run on 68000 or is a more capable cpu required?


3.5 and 3.9 require a 68020 or better.

Hi Mike, don't want to ad stress to a stressful situation, erm but any news on the boards?? would be great before xmas, and I could use that as the excuse to get past the Boss (missus) !!
Who can't understand why I collect all these boxes:laughing:


When my wife questions me on why I need "yet another computer", I usually draw her attention to her shoe collection and ask her why she needs "yet another pair of shoes".  :D

That's going to cost you the price of a MiniMig in shoes too :P.


LOL.  I'm currently spending 3 weeks working in Fort Worth, TX driving around 16 land rig while the wife is currently visiting an old nurse friend of her's in England.  I think I've just earned a new Minimig.  :D

That's why my wife never gets to know how much the hardware I buy costs...


I never forgot having a chat with an old friend of mine about how his wife didn't want to let him buy a new A1200.  I explained that I just told mine the base price and then bought a CPU card and hard drive "on the side" and slipped them in while she was at work.  Unfortunately I wasn't aware that my ex-wife was standing quietly in the doorway listening.  Boy, did I get an arse-chewing (and no sex) that night!  :)

Great story...And that Darrin old chap is why I am not married. Women complain about that electroncis and stuff but sit em down in front of a 47" LCD with Oprah or a telenovela on and they're cool with it. The moment you connect an A1200 to it they recoil in horror as if you're raping a panda.


LOL.  You should have listened to what my wife had to say when I replaced the 42" plasma in the living room with a 46" and then carted off the 42" to my "man cave" to use as a "montor".  :D

I haven't forgot about testing that PAL CD32 either, I just need to get some time off work and clear some space.  :)

I can play Amiga games on my 61" monitor any time I like.  But I am not married. :razz:


Well I can have sex whenever I want, but I'm not single!

Oh, hang on, I mean I have to have sex every time she wants, but then I'm not single.  :p

Good to hear, how long after you get the boards will they be available to purchase?   Are you going to be selling them from your site directly?

Also, any update on how the AGA and 68020 FPGA reimplementation’s are coming along?


I think teh first important question is:

"Do the boards work?".  ;)

Not received the boards yet :(
I'm chasing it....

Yes, you can order from my site when the board has been tested.
Open source always.

I'll update you when I know myself!
Cheers,
Mike


Cheers for the update Mike.  :)

Excellent!

Sorry, it's 64MByte. The schematic is correct, my memory isn't :)

Damn, your memory is fading badly!  You forgot to mention the built in Radeon 7200 RTG emulation using Picasso 2010, the 5 Zorro IV slots & 5 PCI slots on the bottom of the mobo and the softcore 3GHz PPC core for running OS4.3.

... and 10 A1200 type clock ports.

Looks like my joke about "Picasso 2010" wasn't too far off the mark!  Picasso 2011?  ;)
