Apollo-Team: Icedrake accelerator board for A1200 available
As Gunnar von Boehn announced in the Apollo forum earlier this week, the Icedrake turbo card for A1200 can be ordered now for 570 Euros (incl. VAT). The specifications:
  • Apollo 68080 CPU
  • Performance is application dependent up to ~ 1000MHz 68030 / 500MHz 68040 / 250MHz 68060
  • 512 MB DDR3 Memory
  • FastKick
  • Super-AGA GFX Core : Truecolor DIGITAL VIDEO OUT
  • 3D Acceleration Unit
  • 2 FastIDE/DVD/CompactFlash Controllers
  • SDcard for data exchange
  • 2 USB-Ports (mouse/joypad with CD32 emulation)
  • RJ45 100BaseTX Ethernet 100MBit with DMA
  • plug for RTC modul
Current Limitations and state of the card:
  • PCMCIA devices are supported.
  • the A1200 mainboard IDEcontroller is currently not support, please connect your boot drive to the faster ICEDRAKE connector.
  • Amiga display promotion to DIGITAL-VIDEO. This is a new feature which works automatically - in some cases there can still be some glitches. The video promotion defaults to PAL, if you have an NTSC A1200 this can cause some artifacts. A software update to fix this is in the works.

FPGA accelerator board: "Multiport Modul" for Icedrake
Matthias 'DJBase' Münch has designed a Multiport Modul for the FPGA-based A1200 turbo card Icedrake - successor of the well-known Vampire series - which relocates HDMI and network ports as well as the microSD slot to the rear expansion slot of the A1200 and thus makes them more easily accessible. The module has a modular design, and a USB port can be added via a small add-on board, for example. The ports required by the user are connected to the original ports on the accelerator board via short cables.

If you want to rebuild the hardware, you can order the boards from Münch's customer accounts at OSHPark or PCBWay. The boards were published under a Creative Commons license. (cg)

Puzzle game: Adam is me
'Adam is me' (video) is a conversion of Baba Is You for the Amiga: by moving and joining tiles on the playing field, on which nouns and verbs are noted, the rules of the respective level are changed in such a way that the game character can finish the section. According to a discussion at ppa.pl (machine translation) , this is an early version of the title written in C, which is still being worked on. (cg)
