You guys have got to take a look at this fascinating project. It is a reimplementation of the Amiga 1200 motherboard as derived from the original schematics. But the creator, Jeroen Vandezande of the Belgian Amiga Club, has gone a step further and modified his new 1200 motherboard (hence the 'plus') in several key way.
Vandezande lists the new features as such:
Also, it's 100% open source! Incredible. (And he's gotten it to boot!)
Vandezande lists the new features as such:
- All Original AA chips are needed and can be put into the sockets. These include Lisa, Paula, Alice, The two CIA chips and the Keyboard controller.
- Gayle, Budgie and the DRAM have been removed and the functionality has been moved to a daughterboard. This board can also contain a CPU.
- Video output has been moved to a seperate output board. This board get all Lisa output signals and also all the typical Zorro signals. This means that an RTG card can be developed.
- The PCMCIA slot has been removed and in the free space a power switch, boot selector switch (DF0:/DF1:) and a uSD card slot have been added.
- A single modern universal power input that accepts multiple voltages
Also, it's 100% open source! Incredible. (And he's gotten it to boot!)
