Project of Megachip for Amiga

[Dano]

Hi Tuxbar, I would also be one of the many interested in the mega chip assembled or in kit form.
I will send you a PM when I see they are available as you are probably swamped with PMs ATM

Cheers,
Dan

[limboy777]

[SukkoPera]

Interested in a kit.

One suggestion: since you seem to be busy enough and not able to cope with the amount of interest, why don't you make the board design (and GAL firmware) open?

Hi all,

First of all, all my apologies for my very long absence for personal reasons.
I didn't come here, but I wasn't totally inactive.
During this period, I have ordered and received 50 PCBs of the A500 Megachip and as many of A2000 PCBs.
And actually, 11 A500 PCBs are under assembling (4 are finished). When the 11 PCBs will be assembled and tested, I'll contact the (still) following interested members of the list:

- Pgovotsos (5 units)
- Gravislord (1 unit)
- Schuimpy (1 unit)
- Kirk_m (1 unit)
- freaktmp (1 unit)
- timtheloon (1 unit)

I have also ordered 50 AGNUS chips. I have to contact the friend in USA who has found them for me.

There is actually no A2000 megachip for sale thread, so please, if you are interested, wait until I open the thread before declaring your interest.

I know that my PM box is full. I have to read, answer and clean messages...

Why I don't open the board design? I could. And It would be the best solution for me. But, there are some examples here of opened projects which are now used by other to make a lot of money.
You want examples of these projects? Simple, search here for A3640 CPU board, A3660 CPU board or 060 adapters, and you'll understand what I mean.

Here are some pictures of the A500 and A2000 PCBs:

Hi!

Yes, since fordav1 wants his megachip as kit! So the eleventh one is for you!
Into the table, I see that AGNUS is provided by you. Do you want to solder it by yourself or do you want to send it to me?

It's good to be back!

Regards,

Thank you for your sympathy.

HelloTuxbar8, Am I correct that this can now be ordered with Agnus as well? Also does this come with 2MB on board (ignoring the 1MB on the A500)?

Hello Sim085,

Yes. But actually, all the AGNUS I have in stock are reserved.
I have bought 50 new pieces of AGNUS, but I'm waiting for them actually.

For having 2MB onto your system, the A500 must have 1MB on board or 512KB + 512KB expansion board. With the modifications needed for the installation of the Megachip, the expansion ram is seen as chipram.

Best regards,
Franck

Hello!

I expect there is no way to get this working on an Amiga 1000? Even with some kind of adapter from DIP Agnus to A500 socket? =)

If it won't fly, ask Jens S (email) as he's looking into 2mb upgrades. I haven't found further info on that project, it may be buried in one of the German forums somewhere.

Like that no. Sorry. The A1000 hardware is too différent. But it would be interesting.

I'll add you into the list. I have to update the table with members who have declared their interest since I was absent here.

I know that Jens works onto a Megachip. But no info about an A1000 version. The german forum is the excellent www.a1k.org.

 

[kirk_m]

Keep me on the list, please.
