Amiga1992 · 15 October 2014, 16:16

Any news on these expanders?

kipper2k · 15 October 2014, 22:43

Hi Akira,

the expansion board itself with RGB is done, hopefully Stedy will give an update soon on progress withthe fastmem/ide portion

Cooljerk · 15 October 2014, 23:10

Hi Guys,

I recently added an update to my development blog here:

https://ianstedman.wordpress.com/201...some-progress/

A busy workload has slowed me down in recent weeks but work does still progress. I have also identified and am working around a few gotchas in the hardware design.

I try and post only when I have relevant news, the blog has 5 updates this year, compared to 1 minor update for my website.

Keep the questions, ideas and suggestions coming, I do read them.

Regards,

Ian

What about the keyboard port?

Zetr0 · 25 October 2014, 15:50

@Akira

Doesn't the CD32 already have one with the AUX port? or are you thinking PS2 type affair?

Bamiga2002 · 17 December 2014, 11:56

Now where's our board? It's almost christmas already

Hi, without having to read the whole thread, basically i would need (when/if available) Kippers board and then Stedys board and this will give me a combo board for RGB output, fast ram 8mb? (Included?) And ide CF connection?

Sounds great! Another buyer interested here!

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of updates, life has been a bit hectic of late. I've not made the as much progress as I intended due to other commitments but things are improving. To allow mure design/debug time, I will be suspending all existing Amiga sales/adaptor orders from the 1st January. The plan is to spend 2-3 months finishing the Hermes development and to make a few updates to existing designs. Looking back at 2014, I have spent a lot of time building/testing my existing adaptor board and not enough designing.

I have started prototyping an Amiga product tester for Hermes and my existing ATX adaptors and floppy adaptors. This will help future work.

If there is anyone reading this who is familiar with CPLD/FPGA design and they could look at why the IDE68K design does not work with the MC68020, it would save me some time. I suspect it is down to the different states signals are active.

If I don't post again, may I wish you all a Happy 2015.

Ian

Yay, Good to hear

I'm itching to get the CD32 up and running

aZtOcKdOg · 02 January 2015, 11:38

Oh yeah definitely interested!

Nostromo · 05 January 2015, 14:10

I am very interested too! CD32 + Fastmem, RGB and IDE is great.

Amiga1992 · 08 January 2015, 19:46

Ask again in March, I guess

DyLucke · 14 March 2015, 06:28

Yehey! It's march already.

May i ask if there's any improvement so far?

Thanks!

Slayer · 21 March 2015, 11:58

I'm interested too

I would like to use my FMV at the same time though, like command line to the MPG hardware for example... doable? :-)

alexh · 21 March 2015, 13:10

Absolutely not. The FMV uses the same slot. You will have to put it in a box or sell it.
