What would your ideal upgrade be right now for your Amiga(s)

060 or FPGA processor with a new graphics chip

Fast FPGA card for the A1200 that could have the NatAmi N68050 core loaded onto it (and later the N68070), with 256MB fast RAM. Maybe also with an RTG solution in the FPGA, or via a PCI bus from the FPGA.

I'd love to find a cheap accel card for this A1200 I have, then add a flickerfixer and stuff the works into a rackmount 1U case to run my BBS on.  As nice as UAE is, it's still not a "real Amiga" feel.

You should then consider an ACA 1230 turbocard.

A clean desk to set one of them up on.

How about a dark & dirty basement with a worn out oil lamp?

For me, a new accelerator with the following:

1) Full 68030/68060 with FPU.
2) Level 2 cache (I've read that this is possible).
3) Fast DMA SATA.
4) Can hold up to four gigabytes with new sticks (you get 4 gigs-16 megs of free memory).
5) DMA USB2.
6) DMA ethernet, either wired or wireless (option).
7) Part of the memory has a second bus for the DMA devices.

So, that's it, unless I've forgotten anything

Another idea would be some sort of system that allows you to connect multiple A1200 mobos through the CPU slots, so we can have dual view and multiple CPUs

A professional-level 68040 overhaul to bring performance up closer to modern standards (maybe take the Pentium Pro approach and run the instruction set on a smaller, faster microarchitecture.) Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Indivision mkII for A1200 to do Highgfx with AGA

[Franko]

Forgot to add, they really should bring back the FastATA MKIII boards (they are harder to find these days than Lord Lucan)...

You got that right, I only have three left.

Oh yeah... go on... rub it in... for those of use who only have two... :furious:

I've got 4 4xEDIE boards but they're naff in comparison...

Jammy bugger...

[JimS]

The more I think of it, the thing that makes the most sense would be an adapter to fit the FPGA arcade or NatAmi into the classic Amiga case of your choice. ;-) Seriously, you're talking about duct taping a new built 68k/PPC card, graphics, SATA, networking, USB 2 board onto a 30 year old computer? When you're done you're only using the mouse & joysticks from the original Amiga....

@ JimS

You've just given Barry an entire production plan for his next project...
