FPGA Replay Board

UPS tried to deliver 20Kg of Replay boards today, unfortunately I was out

Yes, the daughterboard is in layout but paused until the main board is shipping.
Jakub has working prototypes and the new layout is pretty similar.

As soon you release the FPGA daughterboard out....I will sell my A1200 and get your FPGA Replay

+100 :d

I will have a nice 1200 setup in a tower I would want to sell then..

Hello.
I am interested in the Replay and would like to see how it performs.
What Amiga is to more like?
Thanks.
Also, when these get manufactured, do you think the price will go down?

[Johan Samuelsson]

hmm is there any line in on the mobo?
will it perhaps be possible to sample through that?

Not on the main board, but it has various connectors to add stuff.
There are 4 analogue inputs to the ARM I was going to use for joysticks etc, these may be fast enough for audio, haven't looked at it.

Somewhere around an A1200 with faster CPU, more memory and flicker fixer/hi-res graphics card and enhanced audio.
The price may fall slightly as volume increases, but there is not much margin for this.
Current pricing (to be confirmed) direct from me (board only) is around 239Euro+VAT for the SVHS/Composite and ~200Euro+VAT for the board without SVHS/Composite.
I am just waiting for confirmation of the input tax/duty before I can fix pricing for this batch.
Best,
MikeJ

Do you guys think it is too fast now to sell my A1200+acceleration for an FPGA Replay without acceleration right now? OH, mikej I have just one question. The FPGA Replay now with the case, power supply the whole set without the daughterboard costs 820 dollars, I am curious how much more additional I need to put to get the daughterboard? Thanks in advance.

@mikej, Is there coding space in the ARM and time slices left over to make use of its built in A/D ..?
(I guess it might be hard to save to SD-card if it's too busy sampling, otoh there's RAM)

When do you estimate boards will be available for buy?

Ideally it would be able to emulate a parallel port sampler and one of the zorro based cards so we could use existing software.

"Ideally it would be able to emulate a parallel port sampler and one of the zorro based cards so we could use existing software."

That would be the best solution, so that we could sample direct in protracker.
The second best solution would maybe be some kind of ahi driver?

Wut ?

[psxphill]

Wut ?

Last may mikej had the cost as
 
"The price for the current boards is 199Euro + VAT for the non-composite/svhs version and 229Euro +VAT with. VAT in Sweden is 25%"
 
So that is 286.25 euros including the VAT, which is around 370 dollars. I guess you wouldn't pay the VAT if you're outside the EU, but you're going to be paying higher shipping and import duty etc.
 
I haven't noticed a higher price for the boards but that wouldn't surprise me. No idea what the cost of the case and power supply is, but I thought they used a standard one anyway.

[Lord Aga]

Well... yes. Pretty hard to add up to 820 bucks. Unless they are gold or something

[AmigaClassicRule]

No I actually got the right quote from them saying it is 625 Euro which is equivalent to my currency as 825.

"Vesa FPGA Arcade" Promotion :It includes the FPGA Arcade's board in an Antec Mini ITX Case, the ATX Power adapter, the IO BackPanel, one 8GB SD Card, the 90W external power supply of the Mini ITX case, all fully assembled !You'll just have to copy your kickstart, ADF and HDF files on the SD Card and power on the board with the power button of the case !

Shipping and handling is 100 euro.

So yeah it is going to cost me 825 dollars...so if that is going to cost me 825 dollars what about accelerator? I am not saying that as an attack, I am saying that as a mean of determining how much I need to save up that is all.

[Lord Aga]

Surely it's a mistake of some sort
As you can see, the board is 200-ish EUR for all of us.
Rest of the equipment should not, by any means, be two times more expensive.
