- Due to popular demand I called the number and talked to a nice guy. He told
- me the following:
-
- The board does exsist.
-
- It consists of Lisa, Alice ,2Mb CHIP RAM and logic. There might be empty
- sockets for the Lisa and Alice due to copyright problems. You might have
- to buy them as spare parts to complete the board.
-
- It is in the final design stages and is not ready for production yet.
- He have had a prototype installed in his A3000 for a month now and it works.
- He had run SCALA and some CD32 games on it.
-
- The guy who does the actual hardware design is only doing it part-time, he has
- another job to attend to too. But they are working hard to get it into production.
- There are only some minor problems left to work out.
-
- The board will be installed in the empty sockets you get when you remove Agnus,
- Denise, all socketed chip memory and two PAL:s.
-
- The estimated price will be approximately SEK 4000 which is USD 570 or DEM 840.
-
- The _current_ version will only fit in an A3000 desktop, not the A3000T.
-
- Please avoid calling them, they need to have peace and quiet to finish the design.
