Can someone please finish the Siamese PCI?

Can someone please finish this PCI card??? It has incredible potential if the price is right, but as of now it's only 75% complete because Gateway lost interest.

No parts == no go.

Amiga's not supplying the necessary parts and has been unwilling to license them despite repeated attempts.  (I tried for another project)
Try blazedmongers new Free Universal Computer kit, available with the GUI toolkit Your Own Universe, the popular IT edition, Extremely Reliable System for embedded work, Enhanced Database development and Wide Area Development system for telecommuting.

Unwilling or unable. Amiga Inc. don't own the Amiga hardware, and you know that the chips set has not be manufactured for over 10 years, and I doubt it could be now. The only option is via an emultor or FPGA :-|

This care is IMHO useless, WinUAE (and UAE in general now) is better, far better than this card coudl have ever been.

Seriously, why bother!. It's so slow!!

Get an A1. That's moving forwards, new hardware, Fffast graphics, PCI standard for NEW cards to be made for us by WHOEVER, fsat serial and paralell, No 68k SLOW CPU crap. All nice power PC inst.
Everything we have dreamed about, including emulation! for classic stuff. Let's see MAC provide emulation for their old clasic apps from their 68k cpu days.
It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.
