If You Could Have An Amiga Replacement Mother Board
« on: February 22, 2008, 04:24:41 AM »
If you could have an Amiga with a new main board which computers would you choose?
I would like to see the Amiga 3000 D and 4000 T.
Also the 1200 and CDTV would be cool.

Would you rather have an ATX format M/B which you could put in a new case?

Yes, give me an ATX mobo any day, that way it doesn't have to go in a 20 year old yellow case. :-)

If I could get a new ATX Amiga motherboard, I'd like it to be made by a reputable company, e.g. Gigabyte that make the x86 motherboards.

If the director of Gigabyte went a bit insane and decided to put some resources into a new 68k/coldfire/ppc Amiga compatible motherboard, you can be sure it wouldn't be in development for an infinite amount of time, and when it came out it wouldn't need sending back for hardware fixed!  :-)

Anything faster than my A1 G4 1GHz, than has a PPC and can run OS4. Though I'm still happy with my configuration.

Well, we already have that... it's called MiniMig and it's made and sold by ACube...

Anyway the original question is vague and unformed... Since Hardware is just a commodity now, what I'd raelly like to see is a PCI-Express2.0 backplane and PCI-E based CPU cards... then one could build a machine in any config you wanteded... not that I even think about desktops anymore... Give me my MBP any day! :-)

That would be the A1200 cases made from TARDIS material, I presume?

Yes, I would also like a new ATX Amiga motherboard. 68k processor should be fine, maybe more than one type. Combined with PCI and zorro slots. A new Amiga keyboard instead of M$ keyboards would be nice  :-)

I understand the ATX statements.  It would be cool to me if the A4000T and A3000T cases were remade to be ATX.  I feel that a slight modification to the styling to differentiate the old and new to preserve history, maybe?
