This is incredibly cool. Wow!

For the hinted at internal graphics card, might I be so bold as to make a suggestion for consideration? Provide some bridge to PCI, so that a PCI->PCIexpress bridge might be used for one of these...

I've got my hands on one of these eval boards for an idea I've got, as well as a PLX RDK board to fit it all into a PCI slot, the module is small and should be pretty comfortable in this A1000 if it had a place to plug in. Might at least provide some ideas for the graphics, though I'm sure he's already thought out his plans for a while. But I'm hopeful that the UGM will in time provide variety and upgrade path to newer chips without small markets liek us needing some wacko to go bankrupt making 27 custom cards... (though I do appreciate the wackos in Amiga community who do it anyway!)

Another question. When's he doing an AGA version with 060 or even better PPC with a PCI or PCI-Express slot? :)

With this much talent in the Amiga community I'm stumped as to why no one has created a new mainboard for some of the other Amiga models out there.

Its up to everyone to use his eagle-files, they are for free.


Are these files still out there? I can't find them on his site. Just curious what everything looks like.
