Anyone interested in a new GB1000 run?

The biggest issue is that they are more complex, would require more layers and cost more $$$.

If I have to design my own and if theres demand I would try and do an AGA version. An AGA or AA design in an A2000 case, now that would be cool.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words earlier. What would be the specs of the board size and layers, i can see what i can get them made for to see if its economically doable

[PJM]

If I can get the eagle files I can get all the info. If I can't then it will be my own design and that's some way away. I've contacted the original author so we will see what happens.

I'd go for atx, maybe for 2000. wouldn't mind 3000. miniitx could be neat too.
whatever you might do, consider doing pci instead of isa slots, line things up so we can plug in mediator bridge or build-in prometheus? if it's a non-profit board?

You can get the eagle files here http://www.gb97816.homepage.t-online...1kboard_00.zip.

Wow - how the... well done that man.

[PJM]

kipper2k can you get quotes based on those? I can convert them to a gerber file if needed.

I sent the file for a quote (25 of them) so hopefully tomorrow may have a $ value

Chances are I will now end up doing my own board anyway as well as a gba1000. Mini itx is too small to fit even the AGA based Amiga hardware. A flex ATX board might be possible. if I develop the concept they would be ATX based with Amiga replacement boards further down the line.

It woud be a not for profit build your own board concept as with the GBA1000.

First things first though, lets make gba1000s!

I also sent away a quote for some 33, 40 and 50mhz CPU's... My place normally can find em if they exist (NOS) so hopefully there may be good news in that department. I don't trust ebay for chips too often, especially the pricy ones

Edit, if the board was 2 layers then price for the board would be (before shipping, customs, brokerage fees etc) ~ $45 each

[kipper2k]

I just received the quote for the motherboards...

$25 each

Dont forget shipping and customs, etc need to be added so probably about $34 in my hands

Damn! That's cheap!

edit: I asked before, who will provide the programmable chips, I know most of us can't do it our selves. That's a show stopper for me.
Also, did anyone crated a spreadsheet with current pricing of all components?

[PJM]

We have the official go ahead.

Hello,

you can make it. Use the newer version Revision 4, please. The files are containing at the download from my homepage.
Revison 4 supports the newer agnus chip and has a divider (74F74) for the oscillator. And a Port for the indivision-ecs- flicker fixer, if you want it.....

regards,
Georg Braun

I know a few guys at uni who had the equipment so will try them, if not our best bet is asking on a1k.org.

The spreadsheet in the package above shouldn't be far off.

I see it. Thanks.

Still waiting on the price of the CPU's, Do you have the rev 4 schematic? i am assuming the size of the motherboard is the same. The quotes i got for the board are gold plated too so that is a plus.

It is possible (maybe) thati can create custom cases once i get settled in with my new toy.

[PJM]

I think what you asked for Kipper is the revision 4 anyway. - Check out the guys other work -

http://www.gb97816.homepage.t-online.de/

A 040/060 accelerator for the GBA1000 and a custom Picasso II graphics card!

I still think an ATX version would work well at a later date, if it can be fitted onto a full ATX board.

[kipper2k]

the board has -04 on it so i am assuming it is the rev 4.

Anyone know what a reasonable price for the 68030's are going for nowadays ?

How about the A2000 version

[PJM]

I'm trying to gather some dead A2000 boards to examine but for now we'll concentrate on getting this GBA1000 made.
