Impressive, and thanks for sharing.

A couple of questions:

1) What thickness is the board/PCB?

2) How did you figure out how to draw the inner layers (assuming it's a four layer board)?

OK, thanks. Found amigapcb.org, assuming that's the one you meant.

BTW: I spread your blog post link on a few places.

Has the FPU been fixed on this so if you install a FPU it doesn't disable the accelerator?

Thumbs up

Nice work Chucky. This level of reverse engineering is spectacular to watch.

Thanks for keeping your work open. I can't wait to see what people do with the source.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

I just found 2 issues. one "more big" and one less big.

first the BIG one! as I added a possability of having 2 +5V lines via the DIN connector.. I have noticved that when putting in an A500 PSU you will have a short to ground.. as my lab-PSU does not (apparently) have the sheild connection connected.. I never notived this. but with a proper built adapter or a real psu.. it is connecte. and. yes I am stupid. connected that pin to the din connector..

so using a square connector. cut on the top side of the board as pictured.





2nd thing. I moved C409 after doiung my R1200 prototype sown so you could use the TH 4.3MHz oscillator.. this made that the videopart will not have +5V, so you need a jumperwire from PLUS from that cap to the plus of C54 and that will work.

My goodness, this is exceptional work!!
How does one go about ordering one of these? Would love to get a Rev 1.1 when they are eventually available.

EDIT: OK I just found out that they are being sold on Amibay. Cool! Quite happy to wait for a Rev 1.1.
