@Mrs Beanbag
that is what is all about to many people participate in this and that we build new cores constantly and put them into board. So anyone with VHDL or Verilog knowledge can try and best thing is that you can't damage A600 or accelerator itself because there are lot of protection modules there.

About those accelerators for A1200, we will see...


@majsta : I dont have an a600 - I might consider one of the a500 ones but If you do an a1200 version i will be lining up for a pre-order myself. Just out of curiousity how much is the speed limited by the FPGA? and would you need more expensive FPGA to achieve greater speeds?

I gather there are still plenty of spare LUTs on the FPGA, room for a lot of enhancements.


Akiko in FPGA could be interesting... Or perhaps some other wacko invention like a hardware implemented raycaster. I wonder if we could actually add features to the Amiga that never existed before that would provide hardware assistance to other CPU intensive tasks. A very exciting time indeed!
