FPGA Replay Board

[AmigaClassicRule]

I don't see any thing hindering a PPC daugther board for the FPGAArcade, except maybe, that some one needs to design and build it.

And yes, its true, that before we have it, we can't really be sure that its actually going to be made, but I bet that the FPGAArcade and the daugtherboard will be made.

I do not do bet or gambling, but one thing for sure if you ask me to hold my breath (seeing the record history in Amiga community with false promises) this is one with a risk too high for me to hold my breath.

I am not saying ALL promises have being false...there is some promises where they became true: Minimag, ACA and naming little view...but those are not severe upgrades to go jumping about. But ones something like UltimatePPC and Natami comes as a major change to the community and the raw meat is put in front of us behind glass...we can never seem to reach it. I hope FPGA Replay will not be that raw meat.

Is it not possible that someone could own an A4000D and in the future FPGA Replay? I am sure the answer is yes.

[AmigaClassicRule]

And the point is?

I do not know myself...I am actually curious too.

[AmigaClassicRule]

Absolutely.  And for what it is worth, I agree with you.  Since you want an "A4000" experience then you shouldn't think of buying an FPGA Arcade until the daughterboard is actually available to purchase.

THANK YOU!!


Yes, I really want the A4000D experience...and I want to keep it with me...for a very long time   I am already enjoying the A500 experience...and yes I will buy the FPGA Replay in the future...and yes I want also in the future the OS 4.1 experience. But what I will not have...is the minimag experience!

I believe real life, very thorough testing and holidays may have thwarted the pre Christmas launch we were all hoping for. Fingers crossed though...

Actually I am going to be saving my money and just get FPGA Replay instead. It is small...tiny and get to the point...

@AmigaClassicRule:

The FPGA Arcade board IS the FPGA Replay board

The two names are for the same board

Mike is hardly working on debugging the new Amiga core since he came back home.

I know. I am skipping getting A4000D and skipping getting anymore classic Amiga all together...I am just going to save my money and get that. It is tiny, fits on my desktop, support AGA, faster than the original Amiga classic Amiga hardware, already have USB, support for internet, allow me to hook to monitor...no more need of floppy disks or disk drives that die out....and so on. When I have more money in the future I will get SAM or X1000...still cheaper and better money worth than spending money on classic Amiga hardware and then upgrading it with PPC hardware costing me anywhere between 3k to 5k and still not as powerful as the new modern X1000 for example or the FPGA Replay.
