You would think someone would but . . .   I would buy one (or more depending on price).  But its too difficult or the community for this is too small.  Sad!  I want one . . .

And I can buy a mobo ready to rock - Where and How Much ($) ? ? ?

Does the FPGA Arcade really come with USB now or is that a future upgrade?  Can the expansion port be stack-able for multiple cards?  When & $ for 060?  Can it boot from USB?

Mist seems nice, can it boot from USB?  I think the ram needs to be increased . . .

I can't tell if you are being facetious,you totally missed my point, or if you are serious.

:confused:


A common goal is great if it can be done . . . I get it!

I was serious . . .  (never mess with someone that has the skills)  The recreation of a A1000 mobo is great, but what if you don't have the tech skills or time to buy a board and parts to do it yourself?

Can one be purchased ready to rock?  And what about expansions?  Can it be done for a reasonable cost (not cheap I know).

I'm curious . . .

The point i was trying to make is if one man can design this,imagine what could of been done if all of the amiga community got behind making new boards with better features. Granted you can only go so far with real 060's but a board with 060,ram,sata(scsi or ide or whatever) with fast usb and ethernet local to the cpu,all in one would make for a reliable machine and no need for a accelerator(although the flot could be left there for later fpga addon or whatever).

To answer your questions, no they were a project you had to build. He also made a 060 card for it and it had ide. he also engineered a picassoII gfx card for it among other things. the pcboards themselves were not very costly.

I understood that, its just getting them all to work together . . . Amiga-land would have it made - extra sweet.  A new machine created like that would do me for a long time . . . Here's to dreaming of co-operation, because reality sucks . . .

I checked out the project some time ago.  Nice with a 060 . . .  But not available ready made.  I was hoping that someone had better news than me . . .
