That's why my very good friend Zetr0 bought the rights to make some boards for the community. But he is banging his head to solve design problems, like the very tight space between traces the card demands. Just a few companies in the world do this job and they want mass production scale, which is not the Amiga situation nowadays.
The few companies that can make a board in low scale charges too much.
Maybe in UK it is expensive, but i didn't saw any company in Poland that require super extra payment for 6ms spaces.
Zetr0 had to bought the rights to deliver those boards for hungry A600 users.
I don't need to do the same, because i picked his open source project from 2007 and adjusted it for my needs (thanks to LVD few tips though). I made it 9.5MB, added configuration jumpers and possibility to configure it temporarily by joystick (override jumpers configuration till reset, 2 wires required to be soldered into A600 board though, but it isn't hard) and for the last option i am trying to add switching between pcmcia friendly mode (5.5mb) and full memory mode (9.5mb) when reset hold about 2s (actually this option is working but is not tested for stability yet). there is also a reset pins that could be driven out by some hardcore amiga modders
Maybe next time i'll try to make it 14/28MHz compatible or even add 030 cpu for (yet only a dream
).
Here is a picture:
If somebody is curious, that thing below expanison is a 2MB flash replacement with 4 kickstarts programmed in (1.3/2.05/3.1/3.5).
I have 4 boards of that ram expansion to assemble, if somebody is crying to the blue corn moon for that very badily, maybe i could exchange it for something.
As for whdload, some games don't work, even those ECS/OCS ones. Maybe it's only me, but i was able to run more games with whdload using kickstart 3.1.
Good Luck for those awaiting A608 from Zetr0.
