GB1000 - talk to me.

Kipper on eab is getting quotes and I'm doing the same, basically whoever gets the best quotes with do the order and distribute.:banana:

Well done. If affordable, I'd like one also.

Please guys, if you're serious about a redesign, please design it into an ATX form factor. The GB board doesn't really bring any added benefit to the A2000 - you can easily expand the real A2000 to the same spec.

[yssing]

Yes atx would be great :-)

[PJM]

Well once this order is done I could adapt the gba1000 to an ATX format if it fits. It may require an extended ATX format.

[yssing]

Well if you do make an ATX size, then count me in.
Also, maybe consider integrating the Thylacine USB controller on the mobo.
If possible, then add some active ISA slots inline with the Zorro as well.

Figures. :-)  I dig through storage to find the boards from '08 and only come up with one (coulnd't find the second one.)  I come back to Amiga.org to report my findings and realize my boards may no longer be needed since there is a new batch being run. :-)  I should pass on this round unless someone is going to sell full sets of parts needed  (I have the amiga chips) or a fully populated board.

Why not ATX format with the AGA chipset, an '060, and a few PCI slots?
That would be the ultimate.

[Duce]

I'd be all over this if it had an ethernet and USB option.

I'm not much of a gamer, Amiga wise.  I'd kill for an ATX form factor GB1000 variant with Ethernet and some form of USB options, and SATA wouldn't hurt at all either, but that's a hell of a lot to ask, heh.

PCI (3.3V or 5V/3.3V universal) would be way better than ISA.

[yssing]

yes PCI would be better.

Ofcourse a 060 would also be better, but it would take a lot more work to implement, unless the GBA 060 board is made public.
Aga, yes I was considering to suggest that, but the board is already made for ecs.

[freqmax]

Perhaps a board that can use different versions of Agnus, Paula etc? and existing expansions?
As for expansion bus, I'll vote for PCI33/32 and Zorro3

Sounds good.
Why hasn't this been done before?
With the right '060s we could see as high as 100MHz.
AGA, Buster11, the rest of the latest chips, faster IDE (and the other improvements that could be introduced).
This would way outperform a 4000.

In a modern form factor?
you'll have trouble meeting the demand.
How about something like a catweasel floppy interface and a couple SID chips?

FYI -  I think some are reaching for the stars where there are none. What's being offered up in the other thread is a reprint of the existing 030 rev4 board. Unless I've missed a thread, no one has offered to do a new board design. (Has Georg mentioned such a project on a1k.org?) That would be a huge undertaking. There is the new 060 rev5 board, but that is still A1000 case form and so far isn't public.

I was discussing the possibility of redoing it around a different motherboard form factor but we now have the go ahead for the GBA1000.
