While a fan of the current board form factor... would you also consider a different layout of the board that contains the current FPGA Arcade and the '060 board?


I can tell you in secret that I'm working on a new board which integrates an FPGA and 060 CPU together with other goodies. It won't be a direct replacement of any existing Amiga mainboard.

Does the 060 daughterboard come with CPU, or without ?


It depends. Mike is trying to get some from China but so far all of them have turned out to be fakes.

is it possible in the future any solution between the Natami's 68050 and your daughterboard ?
(because the stock of rev6-060 not too much, and supply comes with lot of risks)


Yes, there are plans to create another daughterboard with a bigger FPGA which could act as high-performance CPU. The question remains: who will make the CPU core?

Did you use any cooling solution for 060 at 106 Mhz


Yes, small heatsink and small fan. At 100 MHz the CPU is able to run without active cooling.

The NatAmi 68050 core (also known as N050) is going to be published under GPL license.


I have heard about Jen's plans. Frankly speaking I also work on a 68000 CPU core but it's far from complete, it needs about 500 work hours to complete so it won't happen soon.
