The BootMenu is for the Amiga at the moment, but of course you can put any other 68k code in the flash and do other fancy stuff.

I'm interested dependent on price, good work!

I was thinking more for the other benefits, IDE and RAM.

I wonder what this bad boy would do a megadrive or a neo geo :)
Your market could be a LOT bigger than you think.

We think big. :) that's why most of the design is fully reconfigurable via the FPGA.

However, most games weren't made for faster processors, at least not on consoles. But of course such games could be modded to take advantage of the processing power and RAM.

Yes please. I'll take two. I'd also buy one for the STE :)

For the record: The boot menu would need to be recoded for the ST and someone would need to help with the Atari quirks which we are not experts for. But since people will be able to mess with FPGA logic and Boot Menu source, this should not be an issue.

Note: Most STs have the CPU soldered onto the mainboard with very little space above. Therefore it might be necessary to build a small adapter cable. Fancy but... we should try this...

I've posted this on Atari forum to see what the hardware experts there say.

Erm... I actually intended to post there myself. Maybe the mods will have to combine threads...

Bigger the market the cheaper the end user cost :)

I have some A2000s, A500/+s and a CDTV around here... all would wlecome something like this... Everything depends on the price and if it will be truly available....

Yes, but does not help to drown in requests when you can only handle a certain amount a day...

Weird thought..
Have you considered Kickstarter?

The only reason I mention it is that I was thinking the tricky part is figuring out the actual number of units needed...

If you think you can get a great price break at 500+ units, you could start a kickstarter with a project goal to be able to pay for the 500 units.
At $xxx dollar donation, the person gets a unit when it's done.

If it works out, great...
If not, no one is charged, but you have a more realistic number to go by...

You can have tiers as well to cover resellers. So it you kickstart $xxxx you get more units (bulk purchase)...

Probably a bad idea, but I've been engrossed with Kickstarter recently.. ;-)

Anyway, good luck with this..
My 500 and I will be watching this closely..

Ok Well good luck in any case :)

Kickstarter does not (yet) work for us. We're in the UK, and Herzi, the main dev, is in Germany. But yes, maybe some alternative, or when Kickstarter comes to the UK.

But hey, we made KryoFlux happen with the help of EAB and A1K, we'll get this baby made some or the other way... :)


I posted it. :)

Forgot about Kickstarter not being global yet.. ;-(
Yep, and I still love my Kryoflux. You make great hardware.. ;-)

This accelerator is not our own design, it's solely made by Herzi and Scrat. It's our way of saying thanks, passing on the stick and helping others to get something out...

Herzi said he liked making it, but feared all things related to bringing this to market. So here we are. :)

If this could make my 600 run at 50Mhz, I'd be all over it!

Very cool either way!

I'm curious, with the CPU at 50 MHz, will Gary/Agnus handle back to back 280ns reads of chip ram if no DMA is active, or must the CPU still wait 500+ns between words?

brilliant ...any ball park ££ figure?
