New A-EON Music Card for Classic Amigas

[TrevorDick]

Need one to rebuild my A2000. Would love to use it as a games/music server machine .

So, will this thing only work properly over Zorro, or will the same features all work over the clockport too?

I only recently got a A1200 (had a A500 back in the days and recently wanted to revisit Amiga). I know it has a clockport. But zorro ports requires an extension (and a tower case), correct?

Would be great if this card is on demo on Amiga30 and purchasable there!

It works on the clockport the same as Zorro... but the bandwidth is much less so you're better off with Zorro if at all possible!

Someone should hack together an AHI airplay driver, hehe.

Let's not.

MHI Driver Working!

A driver was developed to let programs which are MHI compatible use the Prisma.library and playback through the Prisma Megamix music card.  I am pleased to confirm that it is now working with AmigaAmp on the Classic Amiga.

Here is a screenshot of Prisma in my A1200 running AmigaAmp, using the new MHI driver:



Thanks to Spirantho for his hard work on this driver.

MHI Driver Working!

That's nice, can we buy the card yet?  :lol:

Just kidding, congrats on all your hard work!

Also here's a really dumb question:  AHI and MHI.  AHI is a retargetable system that allows the use of different audio cards by any application that supports the AHI standard.  And MHI is more of a streaming library just for playing back mp3/mpeg streams, correct?

(obviously I don't do a whole lot of audio work on my system, lol)

Not a dumb question at all! But yes, you've pretty much got it. MHI is to hardware decoding as AHI is to audio playback. Write a program to support AHI and it can use any audio card for which there's a driver. Write a program to support MHI and it can use any hardware decoding card for which there's a driver.

Unfortunately, I think the only program that uses MHI is AmigaAmp...

The two (MHI and AmigaAmp) work well with the MAS player

Is it possible to playback MP3 at 320 kps with a 030@25 MHz?

That's amazing, and done on Vaporware to boot!

I've played 320Kbps MP3 on an unexpanded 68000-based Amiga 1500.... so yes.

[amiga1260]

I can't wait to buy this card.

This card only decode mp3? Any plans for AHI drivers?

Sorry if these questions are repeated.
