Mike J has announced that once he gets the memory stuff straightened out with the board. That he will push play at the production facilities and they will become available through Mike J's distributors that he has setup with. He stated that if you e-mailed him. The list will be disseminated to his distributors and you will be contacted by one of them after mass manufacturing takes place. How long will this take, what is the ETA? I cannot speak for him so I'll let him speak for himself. He knows we are all eagerly awaiting the mass release of this product and that we all appreciate his efforts to deliver it to us.

I thought MikeJ was distributing them himself through his website, although I'd bet that Vesalia and AmigaKit might also be interested in doing so at some point. No-one has spoken up about if they will or not though.

The prices seem to hover around the £220 region with the soft-68k CPU but obviously there's always some fluctuation between the estimated final price and the real final price.

If you plan to save up or set aside about £250 then you should be able to afford whatever the basic model is plus postage and packaging etc. That's what I'm trying to do :)

What are the most up-to-date forums for FPGA Replay currently?
(amiga.org seems pretty inactive)

To be honest, I think the current beta-owners are rather quiet because we're waiting for the new core, so there isn't much to report.  I know I shelved my own software testing many months ago because I din't want to have to retest everything again.

Has the source been released to anyone?, it was supposed to be an open source project. But that doesn't seem to materialize fully.

It's certainly been a very long wait,   I'm still not sure why Mike didn't seek business investment to get this to the market quicker?

I'm sure companies like AmigaKit/ACube would love to have sponsored such an interesting project.

Partnerships has their own pitfalls. Being just one person that makes the decisions certainly makes that process easier, albeit perhaps slower.

Hi all there ;)

Effectively, for the moment, as most people, I'm waiting the new core for testing it with the Replay board and also some news from Mike on when boards will be sent ;)

I remind that this project is a very hard one and it's done by only a few people, so, even if I am very empressed getting the boards as everyone here and everywhere else, just still give some time to Mike for finalizing firmware, boards and commercial agreement.

All these things take many time ;)

I don't think Mike J will bury his project like Thomas Hirsch did with his private Natami boards/forums.

Communication and source releases are little more than a distraction at this point.
Mike J is probably just too busy building something awesome to worry about that stuff right now.

Keeping sources available is a matter of ensuring that the project doesn't die out from one person and that many people can contribute.

No, the Natami is not dead. And considering that digiflip led a personal crusade against Natami some months ago, I would take anything that he says about it with a grain of salt.

Several people have the source code and are actively working towards the first release.

p.s. I have some rather nice 68060s now. I'll post some pics.
