It would be neat to see comparisons between Replay, UAE and a non-virtual Amiga on speed, quality, etc.

Mike seems to be giving boards to developers, so there are plenty of new cores in various states of awesomeness. Amiga core is still missing some key ingredients before the next batch of hardware will be rolling off the presses. Just another 2 weeks... (in the amiga sense)

Uff, this is good news. I still waiting for this project is on my list must have.

the three custom chips were supposed to be one chip, but the tech of the day didn't go that far.

I've never seen anything to suggest that it was supposed to be one chip, I was under the impression that they set out from the beginning to make it three.
 
If fitting it all in one chip was possible then the design wouldn't have been as revolutionary as it turned out.

The revolutionary was to make the most use of the hardware that was possible which made things possible at a price point that were previously not possible. The "chips" were designed with 74-series chips in the beginning and chipfabs just made it all more cheaper.

Are you guys having any luck in getting answers to emails or PM from Farenheit at Amedia Computer?

I have sent him 2 emails, PM's and not response. I'm trying to see if my name is still in his waiting list to buy the FPGA system when it becomes available. I signed up back in March 2013.

Or do you know of any other site, preferably in the U.S., where I could sign my name in?

I was under the impression they designed the schematic for the custom chips, then made them using 74 series chips.
 
However, whichever way round they did it, the boards were already separated. http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/prototypes/cbm-lorraine-daphne-agnus.jpg

What's the price on the Replay board, anyway or is it some super secret? I'm only asking, 'cos I'd really like to retire my A500. I planned on upgrading it, but the ACA500 is completely lackluster to me and the only, other thing I've seen that even remotely interests me is the Replay board.

Jim Drew has the FPGA listed at $299 http://www.cbmstuff.com. I'm at the same point as you as are quite a few others. Nobody wants to spend loads of cash on say a 1200 pr 4000 with an accelerator knowing that the FPGA is just around the corner. Anyway hope this info helps.

The arrangement that Mike and I have is for North America (US) sales for the FPGA Arcade Replay.  So, I have to honor that.  I have already had quite a few people from South America try to beg and plead for me to sell them one directly because the VAT is so high from outside of the U.S.   I won't do that, so please do not ask (or beg or plead!)

I don't have the FPGA Arcade listed in the online store yet because I don't have them available.  Once they become available to me, they will be there for purchase.

The retail pricing is slated to be $299, but that may go up or down, depending on the final price to me.  You are welcome to click on the link for the waiting list on the NEWS page:

Maybe I can get someone to purchase on my behalf and then send to NZ? Seems crazy though, hoping it's made available for us at the bottom of the world :-(

For regions not covered by the resellers, I will sell direct to.
Drop me a mail, details on the website.
Cheers,
