Finished wiring of the prototype, hooked it up
So I finished cabling up the solderless breadboard, and after checking connections, and checking pwr and gnd, I plugged it into the amiga. The amiga boots, which is a good sign, but then it never recognizes the memory. I’m not … Continue reading
An SDK Update (finally)
It has been a long time coming but we finally got around to releasing an updated Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Amiga Operating System.

first night wiring progress
Now I remember why I like FPGAs so much, no freakin’ wiring!@!#
Here’s a start to what the monster looks like. I think I’ll like the PCB form factor a little better. 
I thought a little bit about how I lay this out, but I didn’t come to any great solution. Almost seems like the traveling salesman problem!
ISSI memory chip mounted
So I can’t believe how freakin’ tiny those pins are coming off the memory chip. The pads on the surfboard were huge by comparison. I actually thought there was a manufacturing defect on the memory chip and they forgot to include the pins or something.
I am totally lacking any type of magnification…..I’m gonna place a few orders and get some stuff in here for the future. I’ve been looking for a good high quality 10x loupe and a lighted magnifier for a long time. Most of what I see out there is total crap.
Let the fun begin!@#!@#
Everything has arrived! I think the first order of business is soldering this darn memory chip…. Not sure how hard this is going to be, but I’m going to give it a shot!@#
