Classic Amiga Hardware Projects for 2014

[Iggy]

Something like the Natami would meet all my requirements and expectations of a modern Amiga.  I guess a larger minimig or similar FPGA solution would cover most of this;  The ability to output modern graphics resolutions, faster memory bandwidth, network, USB etc.

That approach would certainly make it easier to support some of the devices that have been mentioned.
DDR memory and SATA hard drives tied to a 68060?
I don't think any of you realize that the only practical way to do that would be with an FPGA.
So why retain the Amiga at that point?

[Iggy]

Ah, a realist.
Although further faith placed in a Natami related product is probably a mistake.

On a new motherboard, an ATX form bare motherboard is not that unrealistic.

We could strip AGA based systems to build those.

Sorry to redirect the subject of the thread a little bit, but what ever happened to the Natami project?

When they seems to be realizing some fruits for their labor, it imploded.

While I respect Thomas and his goals, how anyone could have work with Gunnar that long is a mystery.

Hey, Mike's Replay board continues to gain steam.

@ Iggy & SamuraiCrow:

Thanks for the update. Good to know.
It's a shame that things didn't work out.

Yes, it is a shame.
The core chipset was very promising.
As none of the splinter groups has the advantage of using it, everything is pretty much back to square one.
