The only thing I want is new A1200s with up-to-date connectivity, built in 68030 or 68060, and lots of RAM.

New custom Amiga classic without limitation of bus (build in new custom chipset, more than 2 MB CHIP RAM, build in WiFi, build in ethernet, USB, RTG, etc).

I have a hardware need that I would loke to see solved by a simple kit:
* a tiny connector board that fits ATX window
* connectors for all amiga ports
* connectors for typically needed ports, like RJ45, USB, DVI, VGA, hdmi, audio in shape of jacks

This would simplify all kinds of towerizations/rack building, with cables from this ATX window board to all the amiga ports, plus the typical suspects.

Also, I really want a PCMCIA extender _cable_, so one can mount networkinh cards inside the case of A1200 and A600.

ACA32, adaptet to hook up A1200 acc boards to the expansion bus of CD32, preferably angled, so they can fit inside the casing, and if it can have ports too, all the better. I imagine something akin to SX32, only with A1200 acc board compatible extension slot.

I have been thinking many times that it should be possible to build an FPGA based board that together with some break-out boards should be able to replace all amiga mother boards. One replacement break-out board for A500/A600/A1200/CD32 cases (with all relevant keyboard connectors), and one for boxed Amiga systems with Zorro and PCI bus board options. Both using the very same FPGA based mother board.

A modular approach to what I was thinking.

I would like to have a rapsberry pi bridgeboard.

I thought it out many times, and it could be doable by linking hardwarewise A serial (rs-232) Amiga expansion with the GPIO pins of the raspberry (which could hold itself an rs-232 adapter). A null modem connection in esence.

Softwarewise, they could use some existing network solution (VNC, SMB, etc).


I'd like to see something similar, an adapter that uses the raspberry pi as a daughter card.  It could plug in the way a bridgeboard does and emulate a 486.  It could also transparently provide access to the USB and network for the amiga side, or even memory.  Or it could plug into the CPU slot, and emulate a 68k CPU upgrade or even a PowerPC.

I'm not sure if the gpio port is fast enough for CPU or memory usage by the amiga, but it should be fast enough for ethernet, usb, and disk.

I have done everything except offer my first born for a RS232 card (PCIe in my case) so I could use AmigaOS in projects such as have been mentioned here. Nothing.

The only replies have been 'Nobody uses serial ports anymore'. Good thing Linux supports my hobby.

I'd like to see a Zorro card with a bunch of SPI ports on it. There are a pile of little boards and modules at Adafruit and Sparkfun that use SPI, it would fun to have them on the Amiga.

ok, I changed my mind.  Here's my new favorite non-existent card:

A bridgeboard card that has usb ports and an ethernet port, with memory that could be mapped to either the amiga or PC side.  Then you could plug a single board computer into one of the other ISA slots.

For A3000 and A4000. I would like some overclocked accelerator cards. Also a 'decelerator' for the A4000 so you could play A500/A1200 games on it.


We're working on something like that... :)

I%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8217;d like this, that and the other thing, with a little extra on the side.  Oh, and hold the mayo . . . .

Serious note:
A replacement for my A1200, but modernized, enhanced chipset, in an A1000 type case with 060 or PPC . . .  :)

I'd like something like an A1400. How about an Amiga 1200 in a custom case. As many chip enhancements as you can squeeze in. Try not to go parallel with the FPGA Arcade.


p.s. that accelerator card above is awesome.

How will the zorro3 slots work with a "deaccelerator"?
