Why bother building an accelerator for the original Amigas? There are still limitations, compatibility issues, lots of hacking and fudging (hardware and software wise) for anything thats is more than a 68K type board. If someone builds an x86 based accelerator, no doubt youll need a tower, a new power supply, 3 reboots to get the thing working, itll have a "memory window" or some other fancy blurb that means its crippled in some way, and half your stuff wont work with it. LOL OK Im takin the p1ss a bit but Im sure you see where Im coming from
I think its more worth while in the long run to develop a decent, modern motherboard that anyone could buy build a modern new Amiga with like in the PC market.
Of course a new motherboard is probably going to cost me two bollocks and a kidney in the Amiga world so how about porting the OS to x86 and making use of cheap, available standard PC hardware? Then I can keep my bollocks and kidney!:laughing:
All this has been discussed to death before of course
