>>The USB on the left is for flashing the ARM only, usually you would use soft-update.

OK so if this is covered it won't matter much...

>>The LEDs are visible through the back panel.

I'd prefer to have them at the front of a case so your idea of "using the io patch panel to drive copies of dsk and pwr LEDs" is the better option in my opinion.

>The power switch on the back would be left in the "on" position if it's in case, and either the 5V supply switched, or the ATX power control PCB can be used to switch on/off an internal power supply using the case power button.

That would make life easier :)

Just wondering... to what Amiga equivalent does an Arcade FPGA (Unexpanded) equal to?

I would imagine:

Amiga 1200 (AGA Support)
64MB RAM
CPU '30/50 <==== Not sure?
Hard Disk (Via HDF)
4 floppy drives <==== Not sure?

Anything else?

Certainly a turbo A1200 with 4 floppies, HD, extra RAM and a scan doubler.

Currently SysInfo says I have a 60MHz 68020 which makes it 2.5 times after than a stock A1200 or 5.5 times faster than a stock A600.  Expect better with the next core update.

What I mean is that, for example, a Picasso would be in FPGA format... or any other board, you dont have to buy Zorro cards and that ancient stuff any more.


I believe that Yaqube has implemented a very basic chunky graphics core, and will be expanding upon it in the future. No need for any of the ancient Amiga Zorro graphics cards when that's available.

Chaps, what's the status of the FPGAArcade boards? Are they shipping yet? Is the AGA core usable/available?

I've tried to get in touch with MikeJ over email but had no response.

I'm wondering if I can actually buy one yet? or is the project not finished as yet?

Cheers
