I think the FPGA on the 460 is the 5k xp2, not much for the MiniMig core.. Anyhow, hope I'm wrong!

@zerohero

I have a gas can, would you like me to start pouring?

Perhaps the FPGA expansion connector could be used to extend the FPGA.

Would be really cool if they released a new Sam in a wedge style case, and could duel boot between OS4 and a FPGA classic mode for retro gaming and workbench stuff..

If you start from your end, I'll begin right here

Compared to his personal attacks they actually WERE innocuous...

Given the situation with Sam 460 drivers, I think this project is going to be on familiar ground. It's probably too early for a next-gen Sam, but you never know. Could be the upcoming FPGA Arcade but as a Minimig follow-up, '1200' would be a better number. Like others, I'd guess at a keyboard-case Sam. Chris

Fully agreed.

As long as you know the difference between "public transport" and "tourist rides" I don't mind...

Yes that was obvious from your replies... not! Besides I never wrote that everyone should agree. It should be obvious that since I am the one writing it is my thoughts and my opinions. If you find that too hard to handle you got problems.

Threats? Well Mr Kung-Fu, all I have to say about that is people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Now you're making excuses for your bad behaviour. You got grandchildren and that is how you behave? Wow... they really got someone to look up to.

Like I wrote, if you don't understand my points and assumes something that you make up in your head you could ask if that is correct. So far it has not been.

i prey or hope for an laptop i expect some kind of fpga extension to mix sam an minimig. i fear that it allso can be an ipod wannabe device that no one line or buy and hyperion will use alot of money with will be wasted...



come evry body laptop laptop laptop. wee will never go hope wee want laptop laptop,laptop

judging by the boingball demo pic, it is probable that Acube stroke a deal with Cloanto - from now on the Amiga Forever's gonna be included with every board sold

@nimrod7

@retro

let me say to acube i like what there are doing. this thease makes you lock forward to something new in this communaty, a date to wait for.. now my social life have a purpes agen.. hahahaha...

I'm guessing Acube got a license from Hyperion to rename the Sam board to AmigaOne X500 and a "Boing" sticker will be slapped on every newly sold Sam.

If you can't be civil with each other at this point I must ask you both to take your disagreement to PM. I can't imagine why your disagreement is already to the point of talking about the potential of physical violence. Thats just nuts. If either of you have any comments or questions to what I wrote here PM me, do not post a response in this thread.

Thanks.

@all

Top secret is AMIPAD !

revolutionary gadget that goes to shopping by itself !

Two more weeks...

ACube has acquired the rights from Loriano to build the new X500 custom aio / retro inspired cases for the Sam line.

See Acube what your little PR stunt does to us here! - these guys are almost in a fight because of a discussion about form-factors, which your PR stunt triggered...haha only amiga makes it possible.

Guess we're all a bit itchy here with the postponed X1000 and now this new "secret" from Acube. Anyway I love it, especially hotrod and dandy "killing" each other while waiting

I vote for Hotrod - now if you guys really meet in a gentleman fight, would you please make sure to record it all on video thanks.

Possible result of that fight
Anyway, I don't want/need a laptop or whatever, so I hope it's some FPGA-fun or a fresh Minimig.
