New project for the benefit of all classic computing!

That block diagram seems to almost describe a complete computer. Why even bother with the Amiga part?

I've always asked myself the question: Why? Add a graphics card and a sound card, and you've got a PC with a 680x0 CPU. Not cool

Keep it Amiga, guys

As the former manager of Delmar Company (which sold computers that WERE pretty much just that) I'm vaguely insulted.

One thing that Thomas and the Natami team did uncover while they were still working together, the later '060s without a built in math co-processor were very overclockable.
100MHz easy with some able to pull 120.
Why not develop a software math library and try to use these (they're cheap btw)?

Not sure why you guys didn't find that interesting, but for God's sake... 120MHz.

Hi, I want to design a couple boards for the amiga, any hardware doc resources out there?
I am thinking a ram and sata card, I could add blutooth as well, I have designed boards with blutooth on other projects.

Its the interfacing curcuits with the existing amiga I really need.
Thanks

Considering how small Bluetooth modules are, couldn't you just design the adapter?

Sorry for not jumping the wagon. But as Amiga history showed us, promises made but no actual delivery.

As soon as the products are shown in amigakit, then I will be all giddy.

Amiga history.
We usually get what were promised under MorphOS (except for Qbox).

And I wish my pants were made of gold !!

Yeah highly unpraticle, but since it's never gonna happen anyways, why not go all the way ?

It's quite clear that the thread-starter doesn't fully comprehend what he is talking about.

Just have a look at some of the projects running at a1k.org (I think some similar projects run on EAB). Yep those guys are doing accel-cards, RAM-expansions and even full Amiga-replacements boards and none of them is etching their cards in te basement, the all use proffesional tooling companies (and at the prices i see quoted from time to time anything else wouldn't make sense even for the simplest of PCBs).

Well o.k. Herzi will do his prototyps "electron-cloud"-style, but thats surely not an option for stuff you plan to offer on sale.

Edit:
Mind you the projects the thread-starter mentioned would be doable basement-style (just not in a practical/reasonable way) it's more that some of the early responders carried this thread into lala-land.

That had to be the funniest thing I have read in days.
I want an Amiga made of gold.
