A500++ Prototype
Just saw this over at A.org and couldn't see anything about it over here at EAB.
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=53013 An interesting project creating a brand new A500 form factor motherboard with an 030, scsi, more ram and a zorro2 slot etc. It is being created by Amiga Digital (http://eab.abime.net/member.php?u=9901) Looks interesting! (original thread: http://www.amigascene.nl/modules/new...?topic_id=1377) |

I wonder if it takes ECS chips only? Probably.

Outstanding project indeed!
I would so much love to see it come true! [dream_mode=on] What about an fully buffed A600+ proto with 030? [/dream_mode] |

Whoa! I definitely would want one of these at hand in case my a500 mobo dies because of their age.
Is it a personal project or is aimed at making more than one board?. |

Interesting idea..
To me an even more interesting idea would be to take the A4000 schematics and lay it out in an ATX form factor so you can use sensible off the shelf cases. :-) Last edited by Jope; 30 May 2010 at 20:28. |

He MAY take it further but I think it's more of a personal project. Maybe Amiga digital will see this thread and let us know some more info about his project. |

Most likely it'll be a "DIY with rear lamps warranty" style approach, as with Georg Braun's stuff.

unlike the GB1000, this board isn't stuck on SRAM...
I notice what looks like an A3000/4000 fast processor slot, near the CPU/FPU very interesting indeed! |

They're a bunch of wankers on amiga.org.
A number of them had a go at me for downloading a copy of Pinball Fantasies a few years ago. Its not like I can go to a shop and buy it, is it? |
