Okay, I've just recently dropped into this thread and done some searching on the internet to see if I could get some FPGA Replay newbie questions answered, but didn't find much about this RTG 060 thing. I couldn't find a FAQ, for instance, that dealt with what we are discussing here.
So what exactly are we talking about in this thread here? Some sort of hardware attachment that goes onto the FPGA arcade replay to enable it to be an AGA 060 RTG Amiga?
Please bear with me, as I'm just trying to get the basic info sorted out from a 150 page thread.
I hear all this talk about a "daughterboard" but I don't know what that is in this context. I thought the FPGA was already a device that could be reprogrammed to be any sort of early computer, using different "cores"? Right? Why, then would it need a daughterboard?
Without this daughterboard, the FPGA Arcade can already turn itself into an ECS A500 with the regular MiniMig core. Right?
Now, someone is writing a new AGA core that will also allow RTG. Right?
But...to enable it to have a super 68060, you need to purchase some sort of daughter card? Am I in the ballpark?
Does the daughter card need a real 68060 chip? Does it come with one? Do you need to purchase the 68060 separately? I thought these were hard to find and expensive nowadays? Can it do the 060 in FPGA?
I'm not really clear on why the FPGA Arcade, which already seems very capable, would need any attachment hardware to make it become an AGA Amiga.
Sorry for all the basic questions. If someone could just send me in the direction of a FAQ that would be helpful.
