No, my company actually produced the hardware we offered and we never took advance orders.
Besides, I didn't say I wanted to produce these.

I just want to find out how they were designed.
Difficult, not impossible.


Wow, I didn't know there were electronic engineers with their own company here!  :)  If you're going to figure how to create a new PPC accelerator for A3000/4000 Amigas, why not produce and sell some?  And how about some for the 1200 also?

Actually not at all "fascinating",i'd say "Sad"  If a person has actually lived in the real world, had a real job , a real life, etc etc they would never make a  statements like "i've never used a word document file" and to brag about it is even more embarassing



What kind of incredibly foolish statements are those???  Talking about something to be embarrassed about saying, for crying out loud.  So, according to you, someone must use M$ Word to have any kind of life, or be anybody.  I never thought I'd hear an Amigan sound exactly like a fool Windrone!  Even if Franko was bragging about it, so what- good for him, as he knows he's not a Windrone and doesn't get sucked in by Micro$loth.

Firstly, M$ Word is NOT A STANDARD, it's a Windoze specific proprietary app.  For something to be a REAL standard, it should be multi-platform and freely distributable/usable, like PDF.  Now there's a document standard format.  Secondly, I've used old versions of Word/Wordpad, and I do not save files in its format.  I choose RTF for formatting or otherwise ASCII.  At least those can also be considered some kind of standard formats.  I don't know how many times ppl have annoyed me sending things in Word format, and have to explain to them it's not a cross-platform standard format.  I don't care if 95% of the freaking world uses Winblows these days, it's still an OS specific proprietary format, and not a standard.

How can you be enlightened enough to have any appreciation for Amiga, yet still say things so stupid?

Regarding your blizzard...nearly as fast as my 366MHz Cyberstorm PPC....VERY nice work!!! I can't wait to see what you will come up with next :) 40ns? :-)

note: gfx is Radeon 9250 on a Mediator...thus the lame video speeds vs. BlizzardVision PPC gfx.


Whoah, y'all have got the battle of the fastest classic Amiga hardware in the world going on!  Geez, those are some sweet ass accelerators... around HALF the speed of this Pentium 3 I'm on!  Yikes!  If y'all were going to sell your accelerators, I'm guessing the price would be at least $5,000 each??!

I want to do a Mediator upgrade on my A1200, but I don't have a PPC :(.  I've noticed that no one is mentioning what I read about on the Elbox site, of using a PC accelerator with the Mediator.  That is supposed to be possible too, isn't it?  Then y'all could be talking about processor speeds of 2-3 GHz at least!
