Aren't you guys really thinking slightly in terms of a Pegasos with a 68060 instead of a PPC? So a 060 card for the pegasos would be the product you want? That would of course limit you to the old Amiga3.x OS's forever


I'm thinking of a 300+mhz coldfire with it's own version of OS4 actually. :-) More classic owners should take a look at the Amiga Cold Fire Project page.

Hi,

Actually I would love to reduce the desktop footprint of my B2000 to ZERO.
Nobody makes a tower kit anymore and desk-space is at a premium here. How
about something with, 2= 3.5" floppy bays, 3= 5.25 drive bays And a nice
new beef power supply.
 Also it seems to me that most accel cards have some kind of expansion
connector, could this be utilised for a higher speed plug-in buss?
My slots are all used. Just me thinking again.

Chris

I would like to have a nice tower case for my Amiga 2500 mother board.  The tower case should be the same quality as the A2500's desktop case.     ;-)

You mean it should weigh a ton, be a complete pain for service and should offer
a limited number of drive-bays in odd sizes and colors ?
 :-P

Really, get an old full-height tower with AT-PSU, do some metal-work and you'll
be done with it. Building these in a company would force Red to obeys to lots of
rules, and posting would cost a fortune.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Hi,

Ok, how about a multi classic case. Fit an A500, A600, or an A2000++
in a tower with room for goodies and a new beefy power supply.

Well I want a new MOTHERBOARD. One taht has a bus that can handle higher speeds for LVD SCSI, and raid options, Giganet, wireless and faster ram etc. My 4k is just too slow and I want it updated! PCI and new graphics! 5.1 Channel sound DVD playback.

Oh, hang on, that's A1 isn't it. Silly me. Why would I want to go backwards anyway! lol ;)  Hope it's OS is as good if not better than my OS3.9 :))

Serious answer?

Some REAL world apps to run native on fast hardware, like Word/Excel (I  know, I know. eek, but I use them daily.)
Mozila would be nice too. Some networking tools and software. Server based ability so I can set it up like winblowz server. I dislike running server fomr M$ in my house. And I registered it! I would have rather spent that 1400 on AMIGA. :(( Bring it on!  

It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.

I've never seen a company make the leap from auction company to engineering firm, but good luck with that.

in the day, a video card for the A1200 would have interested me.  The AteoBUS was too expensive and did too much.  They just needed nothing but a video card for the A1200.

But nowadays, there is no product at all that would ever lure me back to the 'classic' line.  Dead is dead. Slow is slow.  Even a coldfire is slow.

I thought A2000 PSU's were different to all standard PC types. And besides, I'm not qualified, or have the knowldge of how to hack a PC PSU.

Hi,
I'm with Bodie_C15 on that one. I do work for a living, and hacking a PC power supply
is not my idea of fun. If I had the time I would build A bullet- proof one from scratch.
That timing thing would be a bugger. More dependable Power Mr. Scott.

PS: Maybe I should take my own advice and change all the capacitors in mine before it's
too late

Not too expensive ofcourse  ;-)


mwuhahahaahaha.......er............erm.............oh this guy is  serious.

Say, while you are working out how to fit a G4 ( with cooling ) and Geforce4 ( with cooling ) into an amiga 1200 can you also work out how to fit an enitire Windows system into a small module that plugs into the clock port so I can run Windows XP in a window on my Amiga Workbench? :-P~

on a serioius note, a wireless nic for the amiga would be nice.

Towerize, and give it a Zorro board, compat with the 2000s, and you can run Win95, heck maybe even 98 on those 486 bridgeboards.
