The technical most advanced AMIGA mainboard remake was/ or still is the NATAMI.
But the NATAMI is also the most complex and most expensive to produce.

A lower cost version of the NATAMI would in my opinion be the best.


What kind of price are we talking about natami high or low cost version. ?

- And then you add slots. PCI/PCIe ones. Drivers are then needed. I could see some of that coming from existing Amiga codebases and *NIX-land, but that's probably the biggest sticking point of the lot.


aros has some support but it would have be enabled, debugged and optimized on 68k as far as it does make sense at all. other than that nets bsd has rather good and competent hardware support for amiga hardware including pci bridges it seems. could be considered a source option.

A very interesting stand alone system is the Terasic SOCKIt.
2 GB very fast memory.
Very strong FPGA - several times stronger than the
other available FPGA boards which were here mentioned.
The Terrasic card is tested and available to buy already.
This stand alone system was on promotion sale for $90 / Euro 70 for a while.

Yeah, I'm thinking someone could hack together "proof of concept" drivers (that would probably be slow and/or buggy to start with) fairly quickly from those sources. Once people see that it can be done though, I think you'll get more people interested.

About what drivers are you two talking?
About drivers for PCI.
Or about drivers for a sound chip or GFX chip or whatnot could be plugged in?

@BigGun

Add-on PCI/PCIe cards, mainly. It's my wish one day to replace a rather old A4000 with something approaching or beating the capabilities of an A4000T, but with PCI/PCIe (and therefore wider availability of cards) instead of Zorro.

And before you ask, yes, I've used OS4, AROS, MOS, Amithlon, WinUAE...

Why just 020 and not 060 ?
90$ is too cheap you need to use better hardware:)

Wait, what? So there is still a glimmer of hope for the Natami after all? We Amigans thrive on hope, you know.

@BigGun

I have a question inspired by this product: http://sakura-it.pl/decelerator.php

Will you be able to adjust the speed of the Apollo core for rare cases where you might want less speed?
