Thanks Mike

You recon that DVI-VGA adapter and then VGA-HDMI cable would work with my monitor or not too much chances?

Also is there any update on daughterboard or at least some network solution?



No, either DVI to VGA will work on pretty much every monitor (you will probably need to enable doublescan). DVI/HDMI works with the RTG, and on some monitors with the native output (ironically with doublescan off). There is a big thread about this on the forum.

How the heck do I buy one of these?

I went to fpgaarcade.com and no store link.. no link to resellers, so am unsure of how to get one.  Also, is a case made for one?

What's the current state the different FPGA emulators?  Is there a status page of what works and what doesn't work?

Thanks!

Check the FPGA Arcade forums for up-to-date info.  My understand is they are shipping, but still in low quantities.

US reseller is Jim Drew at http://www.cbmstuff.com

It's a standard Mini-ITX board.

Just got my first batch!  I have several hundred people on a list currently, so I am going by that list.  I am hoping Mike can start shipping regularly to me so we can get caught up!

This is a joke. I talked to Mike 2 years ago, and not 1 thing he told me has happened. It's been 12 years in the making in. 12 YEARS!!!. 12 years of empty promises.

I does not take a smart Man to understand this garbage.

1st batch of how many? Is it possible to buy one of these today if I'm not on that 12 year old list? How long do you expect several hundred orders to be filled? How can I get on this list? How long might it take to get thru the list so that I might be able to buy one and how long might that take? Just wonderin.... :)

Hi.

A few points.

In the last 2 years a lot of things have happened. Volume production (2 batches) of a complex six layer board. Sourcing and supply chain. Manufacturing and production test of 200 boards. Writing and debugging of 1000s of lines of complex code.

All of this done in my free time, at my cost. If I tried to do this as a business, the cost of the boards would be 10x what they are now, maybe more.

We have a stable, working 020 AGA Amiga with 64MB and RTG. That's not bad for the last year to be honest.

How are you contributing?
/Mike

Haters hate.  While everyone wishes progress would be faster, especially MikeJ I'm sure, I for one love the product and appreciate the progress.  

Thanks for all the hard work Mike!  i think a lot of people are just anxious and want to be able to buy.

You have done, and you are doing a fantastic job. I am very happy with progress. I got my FPGA Replay system back in July, after been wait-listed for almost 2 years, but  I feel completely rewarded now.

I'd love to see the daughter board taking flight in 2016!

I am not sure where "12 years" comes from.  The further back I can find this project was almost 5 years ago.  I have been involved with helping Mike for about 2 1/2 years.

The list is rather long, and I am being fair by contacting people on that list in the order that they contacted me.  I expect boards to become readily available after the 1st of the year.  You can get on the list automatically by going to my website and clicking on the "notify once in stock" text next to the version of the Replay board you want.

Well, Mike has the Amiga core's cache working. Some bugs to iron out in timing, but it is looking rather promising.

ah nice, thanks!
The Replay board and Amiga/ST work came about 6 years after this...

@mikej

I was just curious if you maybe considered using Apollo core (Vampire
cards of course modified) instead of real 060 daughterboard as an option
as it would make two great project finally make one.

(BTW I didn't say Natami :hammer:).

Great work anyway !

He already answered it... he will use his own core
