Hardware wish list

musashi5150 · 16 May 2007, 09:50

I had a dream last night. I dreamt that I found an old A1000 and rubbed it... and of course out came a genie

Rather than grant 3 generic wishes he said I was allowed to wish for any 3 pieces of Amiga hardware. I wished for:

1. CDTV SCSI controller (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...gi?HARDID=1251)

2. Progressive Peripherals 68040 for A500 (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha....cgi?HARDID=84)

3. Amiga Access clone (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha....cgi?HARDID=39)

What would you have wished for?

I would wish for an A4000 clone mobo, with faster chipset , integrated USB/LAN/GFX/PPC that works with amiga&pc mice/keyboards .... a drop-in replacement mobo with the zorro busboard!

The Amiga 5500 laptop:

- 15.5" TFT screen
- Integrated PIV graphics with 64Mb RTG RAM
- Uber-fast CPU running OS5.1
- CPU emulating full 68000 series and all chipsets, offering boot options:
* 68000 OCS
* 68000 ECS
* 68030 ECS
* 68030 AGA
* 68060 AGA
- 100Gb Hard Drive
- Integrated CD/DVD burner
- 4 USB Ports
- S-Video, VGA out ports
- IEEE & Serial Ports
- Amiga mouse/ joystick ports
- Firewire
- Integrated modem, network and wireless functionality
- OS5.1 Office application with full MS Office compatibility
- 4hrs + battery life

For this I would pay US$5,000.

I wish not to wish - I wish something else.

Easy.. I'd wish to see what hardware would be available today if C= never went bust in the first place.

Bit of a lame answer sorry

pmc · 16 May 2007, 12:27

@VermillioN - not a lame answer in my book - I've often wondered what would've happened to the Amiga had Commodore not been run into the ground by bad decision making at the top.

What would Haynie & co. have delivered given more time and investment and how far behind would the PC still be? I agree with you, I'd wish for that never developed real Amiga hardware!

If you want one, buy one. They are still on sale today directly from AmiTrix. They are very expensive at about $200 (as the guy makes them to order) but hey!

Pah, 8-Mbyte maximum fast RAM, no I/O interfaces, no kickstart support. This must be a really old accelerator. THE best A500 accelerator is without a doubt the ULTRA rare Viper A530. 50MHz 030 for highest compatibility, 128MBytes RAM, IDE and SCSI interfaces. 32-bit kickstart support.

Of REAL hardware that exists today, it's got to be a CSPPC 240/50.

Of hardware to come: MiniMig or Clone-A

I don't think they are worth that money. But if the genie was to get me one for free....

Yes! I'm definately interested to see how these turn out...

keropi · 16 May 2007, 22:25

maybe after clone-A we see a replacement mobo... or a PCI amiga that uses the pc overlay to display gfx... that would rock!
or better yet, an ISA version!!!!! to put on my 386sx IBM !

That's NEVER going to get made

keropi · 16 May 2007, 22:39

hey, it's a freaking genie!

musashi5150 · 16 May 2007, 22:52

Fair point

A dual CPU classic Amiga might be interesting too....

Zetr0 · 17 May 2007, 02:42

1.
An amiga on a PCI card (using a collection of chips 68k - 68060 +ppc full compatibity) with ability to use the pc processor as a companion processor!

2.
ZIV Socket 939 CPU card with upto 4GB of DDR2 ram and SATA 2 (has own 64mb indepenedent ati radeon 9600xt gfx chipset

)

3.
Another 3 wishes

Methanoid · 17 May 2007, 08:47

1) Siamese PCI Amiga (68060 version) but with FINISHED software!!!

2) Access Amiga clone

3) Clone A - without a doubt this is the most exciting new development. Minimig will be cool but clone A will be more "professional" and prob more expensive!

cv643d · 18 May 2007, 20:02

I dont think CloneA will be more expensive since it is designed to be a Amiga in a joystick.

The problem with CloneA it seems as if it is only going to be an A500 clone. At least Jens should add a 100 pin and a 86 pin header if hardcore retro grouches want to hack their own A2000 CPU buss and Zorro slots

superBuster · 18 May 2007, 20:29

I don;t expect any of this to be made ever... a-clone minimig.... dreams...

but for the sake of the geni I just have one wish

-all the stuff you guys want

aThanks, but I'll take three
Concierto card (sound)
Pablo card (tv)
A new amiga computer, with faster than a PC processing......

musashi5150 · 31 May 2007, 11:17

A 1Ghz 68060 with DDR2 would certainly speed along nicely
