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?

Not sure but the more interest the better I would say :-)

I'm interested in the A500 version, although I will miss my VXL*30.  :)

I have an VXL*30, could never find the RAM module for it so it's now sitting in a box.

It does not matter whether these cards are clocked with 200 or 500 or 800 ...
As long as they are as FAST as an 68030 @ 500 MHz people will be happy

I don't think the Amiga is cursed it's just the negative vibes that scare project developers away :-P

It can provide a 500MHz experience and that is all that matters. Now where do I send my money, and can we have some photo teasers?? ;-)

No, it is the OS that scares developers away, too much common infrastructure is lacking, too few standards are present.

I would be interested in the A500 Version as well. The Forum seems to not be activating users again.

Jim Drew should get a board and make sure Macintosh emulation will work. In time maybe he could implement a Macintosh chipset on FPGA too, and have it running all natively.

Who wants macintosh/apple fpga!, we want a amiga clone/ with improved hardware.

guess you know what happens to anyone trying to make a apple clone u know what happens to those companies!....

It's really about ensuring CPU compatibility, since MacOS is different and alien, but can be easily run ontop of AmigaOS, it is a nice corner case to test out.
