I'll put a hi-res photo of the main board on my website when I remember.
The connectors on the daughterboard for USB and Ethernet will sit in the IO area above the SD and DVI connectors.

Last thing, anyone got a photo of the final design of the arcade FPGA (Populated)?


Here are some pictures from my fpga build into a A590 case there are also some picutes of the mainboard

So that means that you'd have to do the I/O panel again?

I recall Mike saying he will do a rerun of the I/O panels with daughterboard holes.

Great so I can go ahead and design it...

I might need the replay board and the daughter board though just to make sure.

So you are saying in white? No black or beige?

And the pins for the power switch and LEDs will be present I believe.

The RS232 (serial port?) is this going to be used?

I/O for external controllers...what are they for?

Well I like White, not black or beige =)

Don't know about anyone else.

The rest of the questions... I don't have an answer I'm afraid :P

About to buy an 8GB SD Card for use with the Arcade FPGA. Is SDHC ok?

Was gonna get one of these here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8GB-SanDisk-Class-4-SD-HC-Secure-Digital-Memory-Card-8-GB-NEW-/380396239649?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item589161fb21

SDHC is alright.
I use a Transcend SDHC 32GB Class 10 with my replay board.
I have 2  4GB HDFFiles on it and about 13000 .ADF files, still room for more .

Hmmm maybe it is worth spending a bit more for a complete ADF File collection on it =)

I wonder if having a DVD-RW and a HD when you can have a 32GB SD Card isn't just a waste of time...maybe it's better to keep it compact? Or would you like a floppy/DVD-RW?

Alway's handy to have the floppy's around ;-)

To be honest, I see no need to have a CDROM around.

Is it possible with Replay (maybe in the future) to mount a CD ISO? We have to play T-Zer0 somehow =)

I think a CD/DVD player is not needed (CD ISO will work I think).
However A HD is welcom to store all your data for all your .iso files :-) and other stuff.
I have build-in a 1TB 2.5 HDD and sits under the replay PCB (see my pictures in the link above A590 build).
It's not working yet but with the release of the daughterboard it will.
There is also a MicroSD slot on the daughterboard so you can use a other sd cart there.

Come on guys, with 32GB and possibly larger SD Card who needs HDDs? And well if you really must use a HDD get the expansion board and hook up an external one, or even a thumbstick.

To be honest all I need is 6GB for KillerGorilla's collection + CD ISO support for T-Zero. Thats all!

=D

How would you connect the internal HD to the board?
