FPGA Replay Board

[F0LLETT]

Hi Mike,

Im still unable to get this board working at all.

ASAP. I currently have over 100 boards in stock and I'm setting up a production run now.
I'll start shifting boards to distributors in the next two weeks.

What about the people on your list?

Hi,
I haven't heard from you in a while. Drop me a mail again and I'll walk you through it.
I recommend the SD card is used to update the firmware.
Did you wire up the RS232 debug port?
What did you do in your first attempt, did you overwrite the bootloader?
If so, and it no longer boots on the RS232 port, we can use BOSSA over the USB port to reflash the bootloader.

Great. I am moving my work area Sunday/Monday to the new flat, but I should be able to talk you through it.

We'll start a new thread on my forum as well to document the process!
Best,
Mike

Eagerly awaiting availability of the FPGA Arcade Mike :-) Fingers crossed for two weeks time!

Those infamous two more weeks =D

Amazing, then I'll be eagerly awaiting news, since I've been on the preorder list since February 2012

Pre-ordered this board about a year ago from Amedia Computer France, but I see others have waited longer. Hope they will get some units out to customers soon!

[Crom00]

I have left the scene for a while and come back. Is this still something that one can order?

[Duce]

Been on this "list" as well since 2012 and never heard a word.

@Crom))

on this list from 2010. I think the last time I looked into this something like 12 years has gone by and no product for general sale. I have emailed the guy working on this and 2 years ago it "was in a very short time" ready to buy. This is nonsense and I will spend my money with others far before this joke!

[Crom00]

Oh ok, it's been so long I reckon the manufacturer can't even source all the parts required for a BOM without revising the product design at this point.

Does the original Minimig do AGA yet? I have that. It works.

It's definitely a slow process, slower than Mike expected and slower than it should.  My understanding is the board is for sale at a distributor, but I don't recall which.  I do have a board here that I haven't had much time to play with (hopefully that is changing soon).

Squeaky wheel gets the oil - if you want one email Mike, check his forums, etc. and I think you'll find the proper avenue.

Better than I got then - all the times I've inquired with cash in my hand I've never even gotten a reply back.

I don't know the specifics, but I know Mike seems busy and he also seems like he's more interested in development than selling - which to me is a good thing.  He's wants to get it right instead of making a quick buck on an unfinished product.  

I know it's frustrating if you want one and have been on the list for a while, but I think if you put some effort in you can get one.  Or keep waiting until he works out a better distribution system.  I believe Jim Drew will be selling them in the US.
