Currently manages level shifting control and generates signals from the 6800 bus. This simplifies the project on the FPGA side.

out of curiosity which 68k core are you using?

My own implementation, unfortunately far from perfection.


I will have to check other softcore in order to speed up the work.

Very cool! I have been thinking of doing it as well. Imho FPGA's are the only way to go for new accelerators as good 68030 and better processors are becoming unobtanium. Unfortunately, I don't have the time.

If you built this, then PLEASE, PLEASE make it open source and call it the Werewolf

@spidi Impresive to know that you work on your own 68000!! i guess you might already know but there's now a cycle accurate 68000 in verilog made by ijor for his Atari st core and MikeJ from fpgaarcade has a new 020+ core in the work called m68k that power his amiga aga core, might be interesting for you

Oh also I was wondering if you had any intention to open or sell your fpga amiga devboard? Might interest a bunch of people!

I still don't find it and also on your web page details on the product are still missing

Wicher CDTV available now in the Sordan store.

You have to correct the english manual about the amount of ram that the card offers

Any word on price and release date for the Wicher 608 ?

First delivery was sent to https://www.amiga-shop.net/ and https://amigastore.eu/.
She should be there soon.

I see the SPI adaptor is now available. Is there any work being done on ethernet/wifi modules and such?

Also, any chance of an update to the Rys MK2 firmware? It's a bit dated now and many modern nice don't work. Or maybe release the code for others to add support.

A second delivery is available here A driver for the ethernet module should be available soon.

Operation problems can be caused by non-standard HID devices and some HID composite devices.

Is there no way for support to be added for some of these? An example is I had a perfectly working Logitech M185 mouse but the wireless adaptor broke. After replacing it, the new one doesn't work. The adaptor has the same part number on it but looks very slightly different.

I have also run into this issue.

You'll need to pair the mouse with the new USB receiver. Logitech have software for this on their website.

This also works if you have a wireless mouse and keyboard and want to use one receiver for both instead of two individual receivers.

The device not being paired is not the issue. The new mouse is paired fine with the new adaptor. The mouse is the same model as the old one, its irrelevant which mouse is used (old or new, they are both M185 mice), the new dongle slightly differs to the old one (regardless of having the same part number). The issue is that the Rys Mk2 doesn't work with the newer style Logitech wireless dongles. The mouse is paired fine and works on other devices and with other adaptors (eg. the HID2Ami)

I think that most of us are waiting for a ethernet module. This took long time from announcement to release, so hope that is not a case with ethernet driver

It looks like the CDTV RAM/IDE expander requires KS 3.1. Is it easy to boot the system back to the CDTVs special 1.3 ROMS? Does the case close with this expansion installed?
