What if there was a plug in option for Agnus, has an FPGA to "Replace" the motherboard one (as long as it is SOCKETED), and associated RAM on the add on board to bring CHIP ram up to 8MB ?

Plug it in to an A500, and have it use the extra Ram, and an A500 will have 8MB of ram.. Food for thought.


How about unplugging the 500 keyboard, plug into the Natami motherboard and toss the 500 motherboard. 68000 and ECS suck! N68070 and Super AGA for the win!

@matthey, Natami hasn't sold any card nor does it fit physically as all external connectors require an PCB that uses the same size and fasteners to work.


Natami has sold some cards but only to Natami developers ;). Sure the ports don't match up. It would be possible to get connectors and cables and make cables to run to the ports. Personally, I think it's rather pointless. I'd rather have the expandability and standard power supply of a mini tower. If I was going to stuff the Natami in a small case, I would make a laptop. A fpga decoder/translator/output for LCD laptop screens would be sweet.
