You should mention that the PicassoII is Selfmade aswell! :-o Incredible.

I am jealous sick of his skills and insight.  He might just be the Messiah we've been waiting for.

Is this new graphic card connected to the GB A1000 flicker fixer output, so that native screens can be passed through and PicassoII screens will be displayed through the same connector for a one monitor solution?  That is what it looks like and I hope that is true.  Does this PicassoII clone have 2mb or 4mb video RAM?

It will be a great addition to the GB A1000 and I hope most of the 59 builders will also choose to sign up to have one of these graphics cards produced just like our mobo's.

Is it possible to put on FPGAs and put in ECS source code from the NatAmi developers, if they would be willing to help out? It could possibly be clocked faster too??

[countzero]

now, I'm curious. why would one want to do that ?  :lol:

Looks great!!  Clearly there are some very talented people in the forum..The miniMig also comes to mind.  Im sure there are others..

All this stuff is nice..but talk about sucking up your resources/time/money/talent..

Why not focus on getting OS 4 to run on a MAC or anyother Amiga OS for that matter..If everyone one pooled together on one common project Im sure lots of good things could happen

My guess would be that most of us like the old hardware and are doing this for a hobby. That's where I'm coming from, I really don't have any interest with running OS 4, but I do enjoy playing with the old hardware and software.

Granted..I will give you the Hobby thing..but spending thousands, upon thousands of dollars to develope an "improved" classic motherboard goes
way beyond the "hobby" level if you ask me.  While its cool and nice to see
seems a bit of a waste(in my opinion)..Don't get me wrong if this new A1000 board is avail. for sale I might consider buying one, if nothing else to support the Amiga.  

I think most people in this forum would love to have the Amiga OS running the older Mac hardware..
I for one would absolutely pay $200 for an Amiga OS that runs on my PowerBook G4 17"..and all my other Macs for that matter. :-)

You could make the same argument against the Mac.  Why people spend thousands of dollars on a Mac (and it's add-ons) when they can get a PC which is cheaper and faster and has more standardized hardware and more software than a Mac.  I just picked up three for free that someone was about to toss into the trash (2 are 1Ghz+).  I am glad you stated it's just your opinion, but why would you support the Amiga if you think it's a waste of time?  Also "hobby" is not just one reason-- there are many different types of hobbies.  And there are also other reasons to use an Amiga besides being a hobby.  I prefer computers that have standardized hardware doing more things rather than software, but Amiga is no longer produced so you can expect prices to be higher to rebuild individually.

I'd be interested if it had AGA/AAA () and 060/PPC support.
