Cloning the CyberstormPPC

[Senex]

We need new classic Amiga's without the the limitations of the old ones. The old ones are failing day by day and you have to be tech savy to be able to keep one running properly.

That's exactly what we wanted to do as a pet project back then at AHT Europe seven years ago, e.g. as a replacement board for those still using Amigas for Video work and broadcasting at that time.

Some back then regular here (don't know if his project ever became public knowledge, thus I'm not mentioning his name) did previously work on an ATX redesign of the A4000 and we wanted him to finalize it, integrating the Prometheus into it (which had been the reason I did buy the rights, the AmiVD was just a by-product). Next step would have been PPC-integration on base of this A4000 ATX design.

@Senex
That's interesting but how far did it go?

He had two protoypes of his ATX redesign (PCB only), said to be done years before already - although I have to state that I've never seen them myself. We wanted to show one of the boards at our booth at the CeBIT fair, were we presented the Ariana STB, but he didn't send it. A week before CeBIT started, he wrote about the board: "I'm waiting to get it from the etcher. If it's not ready by wednesday, I fall onto plan B, a full sized printout of the top mask." Since during CeBIT I finally decided to quit, that's been the last thing I heard about that project.
