Do you think NuOS could be easily patched to boot on Oliver Hannaford-Day's Amiga Coldfire accelerators, when they're available?


I don't see why not. NuOS is quite scalable and currently runs on a ColdFire 5206e microcontroller board that I made (I should show pics of that too...).

Why not port AROS to it?


I've emailed Ola regarding this.

Actually,  on a dual processor configuration, you could run AROS on one processor and NuOS on the other...  :-D

Cool! I'm tempted to buy one of these besties now! :-)

Ola is real slow... an Email to Aaron might be better... I would urge you to join the AROS dev list there is a huge wealth of talent there!!

They messed me around, and charged me £300 for the pleasure... the mistake has now been rectified.

I've had a few folk ask me if my chipset design would be useful to this project.  I've decided on answering them all at once:

If I felt that it was close enough to completion, it probably would be yes.

But that is a big if, shoot, the linebuffer system was borked only a few weeks ago in a live test to humerous results.

Are you planing a Desktop or Tower version??


The microATX or miniITX motherboard (depending on which is chosen) would allow a tower version.

Ofcourse! Nebula! Austex already sounded so familiar. Cheers for that great game.


Thanks! I found the C source code for that the other day. Maybe I'll port it as the first game to run on it :-D  Nebula was actually a 3rd year computer graphics assignment. We had two weeks to learn C, and then a few weeks to write the thing. Ahh, takes me back...  :-P

I love the PC tablet form factor - I love the concept. Keep it up buddy - this is nice. Very nice. Do you need a case designed?


Yes, I do need case designed...  The LCD CCFL transformer is not far from the reset button, got me a few times... :-D

Stephen.

How about a Nueron case design competition with a Nueron1200 motherboard as a first prize? :-D  ;-)

Anyway, a very impressive project. Keep up the good work!  :-)

Probably not a question you can or want to answer at this stage in the design... but... what is the projected cost per unit is this, for the end user?

exellent to see AUSTEX is still going!! , uropa2 was a damn cool game when it came , shame about the delay though :-( .


Yes, a word of advice:- NEVER write a game part-time... :-) . Oh, and make sure your graphics artist gives you the graphics you asked for... :-D . We didn't make very much out of it, however it was better than nothing.

Thanks, I'll look into that. The 060 works fine, but the 604e@180Mhz doesn't respond (anymore).

I will endeavour to keep the price as low as possible, however a potential investor needs to know how much money I need. My first response is "how long is a piece of string?", but I need to work out costs based on the number of units that may be shipped (of course).

I don't want to ask for pre-payment since problems have arisen with certain companies which have been mentioned here numerous times :-) I also don't want to be caught out with potential order quantity and then have people reneg when it comes to pay (e.g. iFusion). Hopefully, I'll find a solution soon.

I'd like to thank you guys for the response so far. I wasn't sure what sort of reaction I would receive and it has been very positive (so far) :-D .


Regards,
Stephen.

neuron:its really good to see ya around ;=) , i for one always wonder what happens to the developers around..

anyway i do work part time on games , developing and yes its abit crap due to delays and stuff but really i cant say its a bad thing + its on amiga so heh we dont expect to be millionaires or anything.

btw i checked all the designs on the website of yours (neuos) looks quite impressive and i must say i am getting more and more interested, though ifit wont run aos ..well u know...once a fanatic :)

Whats up with all the hate!
