NATAMI Board Released
*************************************
http://www.natami.net/index.htm
The NatAmi Project
This hardware project is dedicated to
the still innovative system
architecture of the Commodore AMIGA
computer.
The basic concept is straight: Get
the original Amiga design up-to-date.
The NatAmi approach is to rebuild the
original system
- without emulation
- without abstraction layers
- without legacy drawbacks
This means the system needs to be
built from scratch. It will not use
standard PC components when their
adaption or implementation causes
workarounds that limit performance,
functionality or usability. The
priority is to build a very simple
system design which is predictive,
easy to use and fast responding like
the Amiga was/is. The original
creators put great effort and thought
into how to keep things simple. The
NatAmi is intended to keep this
guideline as the foundation of its
system.
This concept is the project name:
Native Amiga
The NatAmi does not revive or copy an
A500/A4000. It will be a succeeding
Amiga model not done by emulation -
it is done by reconstruction.
Up-to-date and good performing
components are used to retain the
efficiency. It will rely on the
original philosophy - but remove old
limitations.
The NatAmi is an AMIGA compatible
machine, allowing you to natively run
original Commodore Amiga software
The first NatAmi board is assembled.
At least all SMD components are. The
pin-in-hole connectors will follow as
soon they are needed. The first power
on worked well. It can be switched on
and off by its power pushbutton
(lower left). All internal voltages
are at their intended level.
