I guess he haven't sent out any info yet. I think he wants to make sure the boards works as expected before doing that.

@_TheCrow: I have a beta board, from the last batch he released. I fact I got three boards, one is mine and the other two are in the hands of friends, waiting for the new cores.

@Darring & MikeJ: We are not worried about the lack of USB connectors for now but, have been other fixes to the boards themselves since last batch, like fixes, etc?

@gaula92

But were these boards from the first batch where some of theis forum got one as well, like darrinn, or was a second batch?. I'm asking because i'm long time in mike's list for a board.

I've no idea what batch my board came from... it has been so long!  It still works though so it was definately made to last.  It hasn't even got a case, it just sits ontop of the desk with cables hanging off it.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

Personally, the only computer I have with the case completely closed is a Power mac G4 (and then only because the processor doesn't get cooled unless the case is shut - typical stupid Apple design).

There are RevA boards - with the single joystick connectors on the back. There are only four of these with developers.

RevB1 (around 20 exist), with double height joystick and option of SVHS/Composite vid.
RevB2 (around 50 exist) is the same, but with the spacing between the DVI and audio jack improved, as well as a fix for DVI power backfeed (powering the board through the monitor basically).
RevB2 batch2 (100) is currently on it's way from China. Exactly the same as B2 but with FCC logo on the board as well.

New firmware supports all RevB boards.
It's printed on the top of the board, Darrin you have a B1 I think.

The new USB adapter replaces the PS2 connector and can be fitted on any all RevB boards.

That's for that Mike.  Yep, I have the RevB1 because I remember you mentioning something about wanting to increase the space for the audio jack, but I already had connectors that would fit so I wasn't bothered.

I'll be home in 2 weeks... how's the new firmware looking?
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

So no possibility of using an A4000 keyboard anymore?

You can always wire up a connector onto the spare IO pads if you are handy with a soldering iron. I maybe able to fit a header as an option during ordering.
Will look into this.

Or maybe we need an A4000 to USB keyboard interface.

Yuk, then you have two back-to-back USB translators. It would work, but neater to speak keyboard directly.
