errrm, guys, even being op in this thread, silly question, how have you managed to register?
im seriously starting to think about getting another a600;)


A500 or A600 :)

If the register not works Gunnar has another homepage and the email there should work. I do not know if the email on the register page works now or not. It seems there was a problem. If you have a problem I could also leave a message on the apollo core forum.

a500 is too bulky. i have a sentiment for the 600 for its compact form factor and because it was the firsta amiga i owned;). but i would have to get ks3.1 for it first as i understand.
i was a member on natami forum, they could take my details from there or from you.

I love A500 because it was the very first Amiga computer I was ever introduced and used in my life. My jaws dropped at the quality of the graphics in the game and how I fell in love with it. To me Amiga 500 is going to be my own all usage Amiga computer usage and I love the keyboard case :)

I understand and I agree. :) Compact is good, especially when space is an issue.

I do not know if Gunnar has access to the Natami forum (he was not administrator there) and passwords are normally hidden. Best is to try to registrate and if not works inform me and I can post it on apollo forum.

A600 is my favorite too because it is small and I want to show it at amiga meeting(s) :)

I prefer A3000T, A1200T and A4000T because a real Man(tm) uses a computer that requires a Fork Lift to get the thing in/out of the car at the Amiga Meetings. :D
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,

I think the only thing Amiga-related that I ever backed, that I got totally screwed over on, was that coupon & shirt deal.  What was that, about 2003?  2004?  I still want my damned shirt, lol.  :lol:


HA! I forgot all about that! I want my coupon and shirt now!

So, to be a tester is there anyone special you are looking for or can anyone become a tester. ?


Testers  do _NOT_ need to know anything about VHDL, chip design, or FPGA programming.

Ideally testers should be keen on trying out several games , programs or demos.
Phoenix comes to you with something buildin similar to an action replay.

If a demo fails - a tester should be willing to use the action replay and "grap" the failing code part.
We can show you how to do this.

I great help would be if some testers have some 68K ASM knowledge or are interested in learning this.

Testers should be willing to make screenshots / take pictures or movies e.g. showing ADoom with 50 FPS. :-)
Testers should not be afraid to own the fastest Amiga.

Let me know how I can take part.
I own a Amiga500 rev 6a, amiga1200 1.4.d, and a amiga600.

Btw: I am registered on both apollo-core.com & Natami.net

there is this thread on apollo core forum:
http://www.apollo-core.com/knowledge.php?b=7

Whats up with you guys, lets get some more people interested. The card sounds like a step in the right direction.

Who doesn't want a 500Mhz A500? Kind of fitting when you think about it A500...500MHz...

I don't like the comment from Michal Warzecha saying not many posts for now, I don't want to see this fold.

Even if they could do a small developer/tester run through Kickstarter?

I have already put a request in the list. How many have being interested and how many are missing?
