Amiga Forever on a mini-ITX or nano-ITX x86 board...
« on: April 12, 2006, 04:51:49 PM »
Hey all - does anyone have any experience with Amiga Forever on any of the small form-factor mobos that are available?

I've got an urge to make use of an old A600 or A1200 case and keyboard (with the new Keyrah thing) and a small x86 board inside, to make up a mock Amiga.

The plan would be to just use the Knoppix boot thing from HD to go straight into an Amiga environment, rather than using Windows (*spit*) - and from there, to be able to select from any of my WHDloaded games.

USB Zipsticks will help to complete the illusion.

However, all of the SFF boards seem to be reasonably low-powered, and the on-board sound and graphics aren't always highly specced... so I'm concerned that the performance of AF won't be up to the job of transparent emulation.

Any thoughts or experiences? Ta!

Oh, and if you've got an old case and keyboard kicking around after a tower conversion (or the motherboard has ksploded), then please let me know! I don't want to buy-and-butcher a working machine :-)
