Also, pictures over at Natami site show a 68060 board on top of the baseboard...


The CPU card is optional as soon as they get their 68050 soft core in place and fully tested. Don't know if it'll be from launch, but they've been running the 68050 core for some time on FPGA dev boards, as far as I understand.

Whoa! Long live 68K!

You know, the retro/classic game stuff you can but in department stores these days. What if you could do that with an Amiga? But a lot better like this project, and sell them for like 300.00, pre-load them up with a bunch of games.


300, whether pounds, dollars or euros, would be way too high to get something like this into department stores unfortunately. 300 is out of impulse buy or nostalgia range for too many people to be worthwhile to stock for a mainstream store.

And if someone wanted to do that, they'd be better off starting with the Minimig design, since most Amiga games will run on an A500 config anyway, and it'd be much cheaper to manufacture....

I'm looking forward to the Natami, but it's still destined to be very much a product mainly for our community.
