FPGA Replay Board

[digiflip]

They're configured for WinUAE and if you try and do a straight copy off the AmigaForever disks to a real Amiga or a Minimig then it won't work.

That said, I used WinUAE to set up Bloodwych ClassicWB hard files and then copied that to my Minimig v1.1 (ClassicWB 68000) and also to my A4000 hard drive (ClassicWB 3.x) and they work fine.

well i copied all workbench folder in hidden folders to a working compactflash drive within winuae to use on a real amiga and booted to amiga forevers workbench 3.x without problem ps i found this smaller than a normal os 3.9 installation too.

The FPGA Arcade allows you to connect 5v power in 3 ways:

1.  2 pin adapter in the bottom corner next to the power switch.
2.  Round 5v DC adapter as used on the Minimig v1.1 on the right side of the power switch.
3.  Standard "PC" hard drive/CD ROM drive 5v adapter on the right of "2" (I use this with a cheap power supply from one of those USB-SATA/IDE cable kits, but you could easily use a PC power supply assuming it will stay "on" without being connected to a PC on/off switch).

 
you forgot the 4th way mikej's atx pcb adapter

what version of AmigaForever are you using?  I have 2010 and neither that or a previous version would work, which is why I used ClassicWb and the installed the network options off the OS3.9 CD later.

I used amiga forever 2011 version not sure if much different to yours.

I may try do same again has I sent this one i got working off. When i sold my old amiga 1200 with aca1230 and amiga forever 5.

going try soon just backing up my microdirve whats on allready in fat32 format.

Basically if i  recall i converted fat32 to rdb then formatted to ffs to 2 partitions if 4gb or less if more than 4gb i use smart file system.

once done this i then just coped every from workbench fold off workbench 3.x and also everything from work to corresponding work partition on new rdbed disc.

I will test this soon

i kept getting errors trying to repartition microdirve so put in mac os x and erased drive has free space with mbr. so could use in amiga forever to partition.

yep this fixed my method now to transfer workbench ( trying amiga sys 4 tonite will try amiga forever workbench tomorrow)

@mikej will you be emailing people on your list when you want payment. Ps how do I find out if im on the 44 list or the big 500?

[digiflip]

maybe he will do this on his main site or confirm soon if a reseller is going to stock his fpga replay

[digiflip]

cool news mikej, so do you think we will have some fpga boards before xmas or not sure yet?

[digiflip]

@MikeJ will you be opening a online checkout at your fpgaarcade.com website once you made the big batch of fpga arcades or will buy them amigakit or somewhere?

[digiflip]

So will the CE marking take a long time to do?

Please I think the atx adapter price is fair

[digiflip]

im interested in buying the fpga arcade and atx adapter, when the fpga arcade expansion is available too for the 68060 cpu.

[digiflip]

does any1 know when mikej going to be selling his boards through his site or elsewhere and his there any news on the 68060 expansion board?

[digiflip]

I think this board once the daughterboard is ready will sell bucket loads compared to the more expensive fpga based amiga compatibles.

[digiflip]

don't forget me :insane:

[digiflip]

this what i got from mike j in recent email about pricing

I'm not taking any more orders just at the moment, I have a bit of a backlog.
The main board is 229Euro + vat (but may change slightly in the next batch).
The atx adapter is 20Euro + cables, and the backplate is 12Euro + vat.
The daughter board is yet to be priced, but without CPU should be ~100Euro.
Cheers,
Mike

i cant remeber if jakub or mikej said but im sure they have stated there is a core to be built to use the daughterboard without cpu

[digiflip]

i sent reminder email again to mikej that i would like buy fpga arcade and daughterboard.
