FPGA Accelerator Boards for 600
« on: March 06, 2014, 10:46:39 PM »
What ever became of those things. I never got contacted to pick up one of the early models. I know they hit Europe about a month or two.
I can't even recall what they were called at this point.

Thanks!

Glad to see they are up for order.


So how are they speed wise? Do they run a lot of games, does OctaMED run? ;)

OK I just read that 100Mips is coming. That's about as fast as my 060. Impressive!

Made in Serbia :-) Seems to be best A600 can do. See info on page, Majsta is great Amiga geek.

Considering what experience ? The experience that Majsta made a product against all odds ? Experience that people like you laugh at him when he started the project saying its not possible, i wouldnt bet at it much etc... Or is it maybe the experience that he made a revolutionary product for Amiga (first fpga accelerator) and made it open source. Yeah that guy cant be trusted, he must be a communist or something :)

@yssing
do you have gunnars core running on it? i rather doubt it. i have high regards for igors achievements so far but wouldnt expect wonders. the striped down apollo core was expected to surface in autumn, or at least we would have some news. instead according to his site igor turned to another project for the time being. so i wouldnt bet for 060 class fpga accel for a600 coming up ayn soon.

@wawrzon >> So what if I don't have the apollo core running. I still have the hardware running a 68k core.

For some people the glass is half-full, others half-empty. I for one think this accelerator is awesome, would def. buy if I had an A600. ;)
