What are you waiting for? [Hardware & Software]

[Lurch]

I actually have one of these still sitting in the box it came in

I fitted it once but had to remove the Indy Mrk2 to get it on the motherboard, it was a total pain in the bottom to install.   After running a few tests I decided to take it back off again and wait to see if this new ScanJuggler card will be any good.

Really Really easy to install over the Indy :-)

Getting nearly 10 under sysinfo at the moment with mode 5 :-)

*cough* *cough* Prices on Amiga gear to come down to a reasonable level?

Nice speed but too hard for the likes of me, I have enough trouble just turning the power on.

Well... for years I was waiting for NatAmi, but it seems it is not going to happen. Not in that form anyway.
Now... probably the Zeus Cannon is the most interesting thing around.

I plan to get the usb to atari joystick adaptor.
FPGA arcade. Hopefully from the current production run.

FPGA Arcade, I hope to be in the current production run as I put my name down quite a while ago.

Wow, I don't even know what some of these are! ScanJuggler? Zeus? Clockport Thylacine sounds fun... I hope it fits the A604.

I'm hoping to get a RAM upgrade for my A1200, which I bought 9 days ago. So far it's only got 2Mb and is floppy based, but an IDE to CF adaptor with 4Gb CF card should arrive tomorrow.

From what I've seen so far, I can only use a card which fits the trapdoor slot and is probably an accelerator as well, or a PCMCIA SRAM card. There doesn't seem to be any more simple and cheaper option, like a custom piggyback board or an adaptor to take SIMMS on cards.

At the moment my social life is in ruins and Virgin Media are bleeding me dry, so I think my social life will have to take top priority now.

The ScanJuggler actually has a Wiki page.  I wish every obscure bit of Amiga hardware being produced/designed/dreamed-up would also be as forward-thinking as this.  But Google should find ya the rest, if you know what you're looking for, LOL.

On that note, I'll add that I'm "waiting for" every obscure bit of Amiga hardware to be listed in a Wiki.  Keep on dreaming, right?

I'm looking forward to buying:

Z3 100 NIC's (x2) when it is released in a few months.
Ultimate PPC if it ever is released. (Anyone heard anything on this front?).

Just wondering what others are saving their $, €, £, or ¢'s for?

Eagle schematic & PCB 6
Abatron BDI3000 jtag debugger
IDA Pro decompiler
Maybe Sam460
"some other PowerPC motherboard"
A new/different house. (we need a LOT more space)
Master's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering

Not necessarily in that order.

[matt3k]

making up my mind about trying to find a sound card for the 1200 ..or  maybe getting a mas player to play mp3s ..

If you have your 1200 in a tower I would highly recommend the Delfina Plus.  Simply an unbelievable card, full multitasking and not any problems.  Uses only 2% of the cpu to decode.  If you can find one, pick it up and use my guide to set it up.

decided this 1200  is not a tower ever  ..the delfina  is a clockport  one i think ? ..would need a clockport adaptor  then with usb already there ..have to find that too  though i read somewhere there is one coming ..this 1200 still has the one fault noone can solve ..it wont soft reset  ..just goes red screen when i do ..
