Great work! Keep it up!

What, no Doom?

Currently I do not have.

This is awesome. So many new project for the older systems like this. I'd love to see one for the big box systems like to 3000 and 4000.

Very nice! Will have to buy one more A500 now ;o)

Are these available to buy yet?

I believe they said April.

Take video of the Citadel/Cytadela. Best FPS working on A500/68000.

Oh man! I loved that game back in the day, even more than Doom.
You got me on a nostalgic trip now, will be looking for it in my boxes of floppy's tonight! :great

these are cool defo buy one.

Is a version of this planned for the A2000? Even a adaptor board that plugs into the CPU slot to accept this card would be great!

The Wicher 500i fits in CPU socket of the A2000.

Review progress in work :)

New batch of the PCB arrived.

Assembly in the A500.

Plans to support ENC28J60 (ethernet controller) and SDCARD slot :)

Very nice, will be watching this with interest. Love the Amiga scene developing so much great new hardware.

Brilliant stuff. I'm going to be keeping an eye on this one!

Where can one get one of these? How much does it cost?
Can you use it without populating CPU and ram sockets, just as an IDE interface?

As you can see in picture, to install it you need to remove original CPU.
