Why do you care?  Do you even own a NG Amiga?  Have you ever seen anything developed using this board?

FWIW, I googled up pictures of what it is I assume you're talking about.  There does indeed appear to be two different designs.  Although I'd take anything on this website with a grain of salt.  ;)

Picture:


Has anyone done anything interesting with one of these yet , and do the newer boards also have this chip?

Still can't believe they wasted money reimplementing xorro/Xena on x5000.
Its painfully obvious that its a waste of space and money (pretty much zero use in 5 years on x1000,.... heck pretty much zero *ideas* about what to do with it still).

Dumbest idea in a long, long time in Amiga-land, and there's been some doozies.

"Let's make a hugely expensive machine that is outgunned by 10 year old systems and $99 modern devices and then add even more to the cost by adding a gimmick port that clearly has no practical use and will never actually get used....."

Only Amiga makes it possible,.......


Slapping an FPGA in there would have been a way more interesting idea.
