FPGA Replay Board

[digiflip]

i cant remeber if jakub or mikej said but im sure they have stated there is a core to be built to use the daughterboard without cpu

[wizard66]

I'm with espskog :-)

Great news about the new core! You know we'd love to beta-test the core for you :-D

MikeJ can you please put me down for a FPGAArcade with expansion board + 060 (i should be on your list for a FPGA Replay board)

[Haranguer]

Mikej, me too!  Please put me down for a daughterboard & an 060 :-)

[Johan Samuelsson]

Bump!

Mikej, me too!  Please put me down for a daughterboard & an 060 :-)

me too!!!!! only daughterboard no 060


:rtfm:

Me for a mainboard, daughterboard and 060.  Expressed interest ages ago and got on a list but never heard another word back.

It would be cool if Mike put up a twitter-thingie for sending out info. It would please all subscribers to any news he puts out. I do not use twitter myself, but I would introduce myself to it if there would be a #fpga-arcade channel :-)

And it must be easier for Mike to broadcast stuff instead of having to post here ?

E.g. "Core fixed. Might be released tomorrow" or "Found a bug in daughterboard. Progress  is going smooth" ...and stuff like that. It would be awesome!!!

"Core fixed. Might be released tomorrow"

This is one tweed I like to see :-)
But yes good idea to have some sort of speed updates so we can see what's going on.
Last time Mike wrote here was ten day's ago ( I think he is still drinking beer in the bar in China hehe, but he, well deserved :-) )

Something that I would like to see would be a online document (like a google document) with the current list of people queue, if only mike has already a list like that. It will only be necessary copy & paste to a google docs document.

Genuine MC68060RC50 with 41J mask work, others have bugs.

They are getting expensive. I am talking to a supplier here.
By the time we include shipping, handling and testing it will be around 60Euro + vat for the processor. (Worst case 70Euro I think) Is this a price people are willing to pay?

If I buy larger numbers I can get a better price.
Were there any XC68060RC50 with the same mask set? Are there any faster versions?
Re-labelling is a major problem here, so I am talking to a friend who runs a chip testing company here as well.

I received yesterday a box of brand-new genuine MC68060RC50s ... but they were the 1st mask set so I have rejected them. The supplier is attempting to find more of the 41J revision. If we can't get them in Shenzhen, I don't think we are going to get them anywhere
.
We may have to accept the second mask set where all but one of the Errata's were fixed, but they don't go as fast as the 41Js. The young ladies are on the case here, I'll know more in a week or so.
