30 Years Event: Upcoming Hardware from Jens Schönfeld

[Iggy]

I doubt Jens needs new AGA chips, he has had enough experience with Amiga video generation circuits that he could probably replace those with a custom designed part.
Personally, I am disappointed that he has again desided to go with 020 cpus, a faster 030 would be more attractive.
After dealing with the issues in using an 040, the 030 is about the fastest cpu I am interested in using ( outside of any future advances with FPGAs).

The really exciting thing about this is Jens CAN build new Amiga boards.
NEW Amigas guys, think about it.
From the guy that has a license to incorporate 3.1 into his devices, and has spent years working to reengineer the Amiga chipset.

Jens moves very slowly, but if you read between the lines...

Anyone remember Clone-A ... I wonder if this is a rebadge of the project that has been underway for MANY years...

I'm pleased to see it finally arriving.

It could involve some parts of that.

And Lurch, the only major issue I know of with the 040 is heat, and that was solved in the latter runs.
Motorola continued to develop offshoots of the 040 after the 060 was released, including one communications processor that was still being produced after the 060 had been discontinued.

There was also supposed to be a turbo capability to get 40 MHz plus . . .

That sounds a lot like an 030. I don't know of any 020 processors that can be tortured that high.
And good 040 and 060 processors are getting hard to come by.
