Well would you mind reading the posts I made? There are three boards being tested and we are in the process of testing all important stuff while implementing the FPGA logic.
This thing replaces the CPU and does all kinds of trickery to create all these different devices in a single chip. You want this to be rock solid, otherwise it's guru time up the ying yang. |

Ahh, I have a warm glow about this thread.
Speaking for myself may I restate my keen interest in getting my hands one one of these boards as soon as possible... ...having said that I'm very happy to see the devs are keen to do as excellent a job as they can and so won't rush the release - an attitude I'm fully along side. All the best with this project, I hope there will be more to come. |

We will let you know soon enough when it's time to pay the production company that will assemble the boards. Before that it's just development costs we can cover ourselves at the moment.

I would be interested in buying one or two of these boards - one to expand my A500 and possibly another for an A2000.

For the record... AR3 support is now working as on a real Amiga, too.
Stay tuned for more news, soon. |

So, gentlemen... Here's some more stuff.
Herzi has done the impossible and even enhanced chip mem write speed which is troublesome, because chip mem is in your Amiga and not on the Zeus board. If you look at the first picture, you'll notice that a standard A500 with the Zeus is faster than an A3000 with 68030 at 25 MHz. 7MB/s: Now for line draw and write pixel. Green is standard, red is Zeus. More is better. |

Commodore has used all kinds of memory chips in the A500 (always the cheapest on the market!), so going fancy on chipmem access bears quite some dangers. You won't be able to increase the average of 3.5MBytes/s to chipmem, but you may gain a cycle or two of execution between chip(ram/register) accesses. Quote:

Sorry I can't check the entire thread at the moment but does this project have a web page or a blog etc?
Cheers! I haven't brought anything off you chaps since first batch Kyroflux, I'm looking forward to supporting you again. Since the X1000s, Amigakit has been getting all my business =) |
