From: David Murray on 22 Feb 2006 08:32 I just looked at the website. Of course, there seem to be several people working on similar projects, none of which are currently available (to my knowledge) What caught my eye was the mention that somebody has created an entire Amiga 500 on an FPGA chip. I thought that had been discussed here before and was said to be impossible because there wasn't enough room on such a chip. Maybe not?

I don't see the parent post on this, so where is this Amiga FPGA project mentioned? As far as room on a chip, it would all depend on how much you want to spend.. 1 million gates is available under 200 bucks.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of uIEC as it has JiffyDOS support, and is nice and tiny with its CF slot. -- ___ . . . . . + . . o _|___|_ + . + . + .

I would very much prefer if there was a 8 seconds parallel copy that copied a whole 1541 disk *to* an MMC card. That would be useful for archieving your old disks. |
