| Would be really cool if you could run Amiga floppies. Would make it so much easier converting your old Amiga software over. Would also be cool if you could boot from an Amiga floppy and run a game old style - but I suppose that is asking too much. Unless you could do a warm reboot unto UAE.

| If we need to voice support for Sam440 FPGA, consider my vote voiced. :) |

| The Sam440ep FPGA firmware doesn't have the GPIO controller implemented. |
But the entire point of having an FPGA in the first place is to be able to reprogram it at runtime as needed, right? Wouldn't it be much better to have the fpga.resource handle programming of the FPGA, taking care of any reserved areas and functions (i.e. lowlevel stuff required by the Sam itself), rather than only giving access to predefined functionality? |

You make it sound like the Catweasel doesn't exist. :) |

| It's not that Catweasel does not exist, its just that the Sam460 has only has one PCI slot, and it makes sense to use it for SATA cards, anyway for anyone whit Sam460 this might be fun project to do. |
And in any case, I'd say it's better to use the USB floppy drive adaptor that someone is developing (don't remember the name, and don't know the status), it sounds like a "Catweasel killer" to me!
I think it's safe to say, that this fpga isn't the "silver bullet that will make Amiga (almost) most used computer once again", but of course that doesn't mean that some hackers can enjoy using it, and most definitely it doesn't mean there would be any harm having it onboard, even if you don't need it. |
