| Despite the lack of Oric support, this looks like a fantastically easy way to get into hardware development for (inferior) 8 bit machines.
I'm glad that Jens has found a way round some of the German bureaucracy too.
Perhaps he just needs to ship Amiga hardware to us in kit form?

| AFAIK, MSX uses a 50-pin slot in the same format like the Apple II computers. I never had one, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Another thing that might be interesting is the holes for a clockport: If you want to implement a Silversurfer or any other clockport device (E3B's Subway might be interesting!), there's 22 holes in raster 2mm on the card, so you can add a clockport to your 8-bit designs. I would really like to see a VIC-20 hooked to the internet with the RR-Net module

| It's cool... Might have to dig out my old Atari 800XL....
But how about something like this for the Zorro bus? Hmmm?

| Help a poor software developer who doesn't know anything about hardware out! What exactly is this used for? Am I correct in thinking that you can reprogram the onboard chip using a PC and the SDK from Altera, and that you then plug the 8 Bit Baby into your c64 or whatever, and it then has a new piece of hardware that it can use?
So in other words you could use it to develop networking interfaces or interfaces to hard drive etc? |

Any chance of doing a "16Bit-Kleinkind" featuring a Z2-connector ?

Screw that! Jens, you have some experience producing a computer motherboard (the c-one) How about getting one of those PPC SoC's and making a next-gen amiga with it? I certainly trust you to pull it off more than I do everyone else who's tried to before. You've been producing amiga and C64 hardware for years now, you understand the issues involved both from the hardware side and from the community side, and you're well respected by most everyone in the scene, so I doubt you'd have too many problems getting a license from Amiga Inc. I would definitely buy a "Jens One" running OS4, and I bet so would quite a few others.
