Thread: UltimatePPC: Accelerator for Amiga 3000/4000
Tiago 17:12 28th May 2012
yes i agree.
I getting tired of reading news all over the years about new acceleration hardware for Amiga because in the end, or they never saw the daylight, or they have forbiden prices...

I would love to get my hands in a Natami of a board like those, but, 400/500 it's to much, i would get a new laptop with that, or a brand new 32" LCD...
or so many other stuff... i don't know about you, but here it's a lot of many... minimum salary is 458 euros.... can you believe that????
An average salary is 894 euros... And you have to remove taxes on top of that!!

In these days, if i say here in Portugal that i am going to buy a 500 euros card for the Commodore Amiga, i might get killed .... lol

The developers already stated why they choose the 3.3V 040 instead the 060: market availability and ROHS compliance.

There is no ROHS 060 units, necessary for new hardware. That and the smaller footprint of SMD 040 makes the 040 the only choice for them.

Wasn't there a newly developed 060 compatible CPU recently though, that would surely have been an option?

I wasn't aware of smd 040's tbh, so it's news for me. However, I still think the card is a waste of time in this day and age. Unless they re-write how OS4 Classic works, it'll just be faster crap.

At least A-Eon/Hyperion show interest for the board and is willing to support it.

This ROHS-thing will destroy the hardware.

The ROHS thing is just modern day bullshit tbh. All part of the European Directive as well as HSE & COSHH & other corporate bs to boot. Meh!
