It is looking hopeful that Mick will be on our stand for World of Amiga with
a new board, though I doubt it will be "live".
Technical Information List (May change without notice):
- 100% Amiga compatible.
- ATX motherboard based on Amiga technology - fits in standard PC
Desktop/Tower case.
- Motorola 68040 or 68060 at 25-75MHz supported in a single processor
socket.
- Highly integrated single chip chip-set, AGA feature compatible but with
performance enhancements.
- Most peripherals support high speed DMA transfers, increasing throughput
while reducing processor overhead.
- No CHIP RAM limits.
- 2 x DIMM sockets for combined use as FAST/CHIP.
- Dual IDE Hard disk interface, supports fast IDE modes.
- Flash ROM 2Mb, 32 bit wide. Used for boot ROM's and resident modules.
- Hi-Density floppy disk drive interface, uses standard PC floppy drives.
- CD-ROM audio input connector and mixer.
- Real Time Clock.
- Keyboard port for standard low cost PC PS/2 keyboard.
- Mouse port for standard low cost PC PS/2 mouse.
- 4 x Active PCI slots.
- Amiga Video slot.
- Expansion connector to support 5xZorro 3 slots.
- Connector for full 64-bit PowerPC expansion card.
Connectors:
- Printer port.
- RGB video.
- PS/2 Keyboard.
- PS/2 Mouse.
- Serial port.
- Amiga Joystick port.
- Stereo audio.
- IDE - 40 pin (Dual) header
- Floppy drive DF0:/DF1: header.
Key Design Points:
- The all-new leading-edge design uses a single chip chip-set with AGA
feature and register compatibility, but has completely new logic to
achieve the highest performance and most flexible design.
- No limits to CHIP RAM size.
- Supports 68040 or 68060 from 25MHz - 75MHz.
- Designed to achieve low system cost.
- Supports industry standard DIMM's.
- Mounts in standard PC ATX case. (Huge selection of cases available from a
wide range of suppliers at the lowest price points)
- Processor connector to support a low cost PowerPC upgrade. This expansion
allows the on-board 680x0 to remain in place or be removed when using
appropriate emulation software..
- Has live working PCI slots to support low cost peripherals such as
graphics, ethernet, sound cards, etc.
- FlashROM allows software and hardware updates.
