good to see this result

haha I have newest possible Panasonic camera but it seems that problem is in me

Anyway enough for today. I didn't pass 8Mips today and for now I don't intent to. In time we will have faster cores and nice thing is that we will have opportunity to upgrade card.

Bravo majsta

Ako hoces da pocnes da radis sa Amigom 1200 mozes da dobijes moju ...

Neverovatan poduhvat

Is it stable now ?

Awesome news there Majsta my friend.
Respect to your dedication and work! Can't wait to check the beast once it's ready

musojon74 · 31 July 2013, 12:14

Fantastic work Majsta :-) I have a 600 which would love this...

NovaCoder · 31 July 2013, 12:51

Well done again Majsta

lukassid · 01 August 2013, 12:04

Pre orders?

majsta · 01 August 2013, 19:23

Thank you

@lukassid not yet in few days I will start production but for now just playing

Anyway today using Vampire 600 went online. I wanted to post here but I was unable to login somehow. I was using Aweb and Voyager and old miami because with new one I had some problems. I was able to ping amiga IP address from PC and from Amiga any address in the network but somehow didn't work. From other hardware there was Netgear MA401 with newest firmware and everything was connected over WPA2 to AP and from there to mikrotik router. Quite complex connection because AP was in universal Repeater mode

So to conclude all of this regarding accessing internet all we need is a better browser I think. Maybe Ibrowse but I don't have it. I would like to see my windows and firefox working with configuration I had on Amiga. For some reason on Amiga I start everything 10 times faster than on this "amazing" PC machine I have.
What is PC good for? Only for making amiga hardware

Nice job!

droopy · 02 August 2013, 13:37

Nice!

People have nice ideas..

Guess it is just a mather of time before we se ARM FPGA bridgeboards to zorro II / III
Or Zorro to Mini pci pci express boards. would really be cool to use mini pci cards like wireless networkscards (atheros 5000 and prism compatible) or memory or BT.
Could open up some new possibilities..

PCI Express probably will use more resources than OCS compatible core...
But some 32 bit uC with USB should be ok - then USB WiFI cards can be used.

Btw ARM is slightly overhyped...

majsta · 05 August 2013, 20:33

Ok taking pre-orders. If you are interested note here. More info about "what you get" and the price on my site.

Retrofan · 05 August 2013, 20:43

That's great... but I hate I only have 1200's

. Please make something soon...

kipper2k · 05 August 2013, 20:56

If i can get the connectors then something good may happen. I have some feelers out

. In the meanwhile buy an A600

and one of these babies!

emufan · 05 August 2013, 21:00

no a600 here, but respect for this achievement.

lukassid · 05 August 2013, 21:02

One for me please. I send you mail thru your website as well.

"FPGA emulated MC68000 or MC68010 or partially emulated MC68020(your choice)"
but can we change emulated cpu later?
Regards
PS Your website slow today.

kipper2k · 05 August 2013, 21:03

As long as there is a header for the SD card and mouse ports i can make some small boards that will fit nicely somewhere

majsta · 05 August 2013, 21:12

@lukassid In the updates in the future we may include that. But so far in all my testings I haven't see some real difference. I only concluded that is better to use 020 emulation because IBrowse and such programs.
@kipper2k yes i included headers and anyone can solder 2 wires for PS/2 and 4 for MicroSD and place them where needed. My original design was wrong regarding including all those things inside case.

lukassid · 05 August 2013, 21:17

Yes 020 is the way to go in my opinion too. If you need to play older games just switch accelerator off and use that 68000 under the board

That "partially emulated 020" made me ask that qustion.
Also is final board going to be a bit smaller than the prototype?
