Amiga 2010 wish lists

[pampers]

MorphOS for PowerBooks.

Is there a way to "fake" a cpu, say a 68060 through fpga (or whatever its called) and stick it on a new design pcb to make a cheap accelerator?

Yes, in principle. Note that for instance the Minimig emulates a 68000 core (IIRC).

Is it possible to use old Pentium II chips in some way for cheap accelerator cards?

In principle you could do, but you'd probably be better off using a cheap and plentiful ARM or MIPS cpu, which would use significantly less power and be a great deal more capable.

IIRC once upon a time there was (or was planned), some sort of Amiga accelerator which uses the CPU power etc.. of a PC to help accelerate the Amiga. I may be wrong.

There were bridge boards for big box amigas that had x86 cpus on them, hellishly expensive mind, but apparently quite usable. Is that what you mean?

[the_leander]

I wouldn't mind a minimig AGA.

Also a replacement battery for my EeePC.

I'll say it again - AmigaOS for 68k in Public Domain!

Same here (and I only mean Kickstart 1.x to be released as Freeware: no sources) but I doubt this will ever happen... People are so close-minded and ready to keep anything that may bring them a buck or two...

No I think he meant something like the Siamese RTG only using CPU power.
The obvious problem would be Amiga side connector slowing everything down. Probably easier just to run UAE.

No more 'fighting' with other Amiga members......

:furious:

I agree it likely would slow everything else down. Be kind of cool though to have a minimig-aga on a pci-e/pci card though, eh?

Plug-in-and-ready-to-go USB for A500.

A500 forever?

[dammy]

A fully SMP, MP, mulit-user OS that reminded me of AOS with OEM accelerated 2D/3D graphics drivers.  If it could run on in it's own user space on my next cellphone, even better.

A500 forever?

Transferring stuff to the A500 is still a pain with a pile of faulty DD- floppies... :-P

Oh, almost forgot, still waiting for Indivision for the A4000T.
