FPGA Replay Board

You have to wait until next year for anything to happen!

The daughterboard is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful:

What are those ports in the daughterboard for? I can hardly wait till I get my hands on one of these babies too

Looks like
 
top (left to right):
3 x usb
mouse (ps2)
keyboard (ps2)
video (DVI)
microsd
 
bottom (left to right):
 
Power (molex)
Ethernet (rj45)
2xJoystick + Serial (9 pin D)
Digital audio (toslink)

What's the point of a mechanical hard drive?  They're slow and consume way too much power.  SD cards are the way to go, it isn't as if you're going to need more that 128 GB, is it?

I have emailed too!! I do not care if it cost me 1.5k dollars if this is the setup I am getting. A REAL PHSYCIAL 2.5" HD (even though they recommend SD card), a real physical dvd player (optical media drive), I get to choose the blue and white LED, sexy case like that..all configured and ready for me...then take the 1.5k dollar and give me the entire X500 with FPGA inside it configured and ready!! :laughing::flame::pint::pint:
 
STUPPIDEST question ever...but it means lot for me...does it have the filter LED feature, where it dims and undims based on the audio filter and it flashes when the Amiga crashes like the classic?

In the other end of Ethernet you can place a terabyte fileserver far away so you don't have to be bothered by it's noise but still can enjoy the file space

Uhh, noise is why I seek motor HD instead of slate drive

Hi,

I don't know if my question was already answered, but this is ~150 page thread...

Will a 060 card for FPGA have MMU onboard? Or will this CPU be somewhat crippled for best speed?

I think this depends on what mikej can source - I believe he is trying for fully featured ones, but there is a massive remarking issue with these CPUs as they are now relatively rare.

[freqmax]

Idea.. use the daughterboard with special FPGA setup to test and separate the fakes from the real thing?

[mikej]

yes, that's how we test them.
That's not the problem, finding any real ones is

Is it possible to buy the FPGA Arcade and buy the '060 board bare so that I can put my own '060 on it?  If so, would the board clock anywhere from 50MHz to 100MHz or are there specific frequencies it needs to run at?  Mine are 66MHz for example.

I have a 6tb NAS that is quieter than the TIVO and PS3 under my TV. So I just keep it all in one place.

I believe the expansion board is going to be offered with the cpu as an optional extra (until mikes 060 stocks run out). You don't even need a cpu in the slot to make use of the other features of the expansion board (extra memory, 2nd SDcard card, network etc).

I am definitely interested in this project for emulations.    Please let me know where to get this hardware.  Thanks!

[freqmax]

There is no "emulation"..

[JimDrew]

I realize that, which is why I want the hardware.  I have written a few emulations in my day, and I just so happen to know VHDL.

Please don't start this discussion again, emulation doesn't mean what you want it to.
