DoH! | |-------------------------+---------------------------| | Product Description | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | While I was surfing around in the world wide web | | I found this nice, KREWL, ALL EXPLAING, WEB site | | About the NEW Amiga 'Walker'.... This together with | | the ATFAQ from 2 days ago, should be enough info | | to show that Amiga is back for the future, and is | | ready to KICK some serieus PC BUTTS !!! | `-----------------------------------------------------' ----------- - -- - ------ -- -------- -------- -- ------ - -- - ----------- .--------------. |Project Walker| --+--------------+-- /\ | | /\ / \ :Specifications: / \ \ / : : \ / CPU \/ \/ - 68EC030 40Mhz (Proto 25Mhz while custom chip 'Tony' a PLA/GAL') - Space for FPU. - Could be socket or FPU as standard in production unit. SUPPORT - Real time clock as standard - Hard drive as standard (size depending on market when manufactured) - CD (Quad Speed) as standard - Billed as 1MB CHIP RAM + 4MB of FAST as standard. Likely to be 2+4. ASSORTED - PCB currently 6 layers but expected to reduce to 4 and footprint to be reduced noticably. - Rectangular optimised PCM layout is far cheaper to product. - Return to dial in-line socketted 8520 CIAs even at greater cost. - PCMCIA in prototype but expected to be dropped for production unit. EXPANSION - Standard multicontroller PC style IO chip. Exact model undecided since they are largely similar to include in the design and program. - Features; EPP Parallel port, High speed serial port, E-IDE port used for CD-ROM and hard drives, Floppy controller. (see *) * Floppy Controller is obviously capable of full speed (not half spin) HD floppy disk access but this provides a delima in how to support existing hardware illegal DD floppy access. Some sort of electronic switching is being considered as well as a physical switch/cable relocation to move between the new controller and the standard Paula based interface. A change in the HD Amiga floppy architecture is also planned. OS - Currently V43.1, KS 3.2 will move to a set of 1MB chips which while AT aren't sure if it will be provided by THEMSELVES as an retro upgrade for existing machines (A3K/A4K and A1200 can take 1MB ROMs apparently) they are open to a 3rd party deal at the least. - Contains mainly bug-fixes and small enhancements like the removal of the 2GB limit from FFS. - CDFS revamped and bug-fixed to function with Scala etc and obviously the new E-IDE interface. SLOTS - There's one slot located dead center in the motherboard. However it's split into two sections so that it may house 2 cards if needs be. - The exact details on the signals and purpose of each half weren't finalised or available but basically one can surmise that one is a CPU slot and the other a video slot. Signals will be duplicated so that different cards could function. * Amiga Technologies WILL MARKET THEIR OWN PPC UPGRADE! Though it was developed in conjuncton with Phase 5, AT will provide the upgrade which will contain a new OS on-board and such forth. PPC603 based. - If it's not obvious, it's possible in theory to plug in a GFX board in the video half and a 680x0 based accelerator in the CPU half. It's not clear if the PPC card will need both or just the CPU slot. - Another major application could be to make a Zorro and/or PCI break out board from this slot. No, there are NO Zorro or PCI slots as standard though the physical nature of the slot is PCI style. - An additional small 'IO' slot is being considered. 3rd party simple hardware projects such as a networking facility, extra serial ports or a sampler could be used with this as well as home made projects conceivably. This isn't decided, just considered at this time. CASE - Yes it's a vacuum cleaner. :-) Seriously the only way to describe it is with a picture and I'm sure they'll turn up soon. Interesting AT say that the hood could be raised by spacers and such forth to make more room internally for a bus board for cards etc. TIMEFRAME - AT say that the design will be finalised in the Summer ready for production. It's not decided of Solectron will be the manufacturers. - The production unit should be available in the 'Fall' for the Christmas Season. NOTES/AUTHOR - I'm the techical staff writer for CU Amiga Magazine. This information is important enough to release publically immediately though more details, details (very) pictures and interviews with the AT design team will feature in the next issue. FINAL - The name 'Walker' is not the production name! Therefore we call it Project Walker. The name is undecided and Amiga Technologies have decided to run a competition for the name of the unit! - This competition will be run through our magazine. Both by writing in to the standard address and E-mailing walker-compo@cu-amiga.demon.co.uk - Just state your name in the body of the mail. - That's all that's required, if you win I'll be in touch via E-mail to sort out the prize/s. * Prizes; 1st Amiga Surf Pack, 2nd Amiga Magic Pack. AFTERWORD - I don't know about you but I dig this machine from the bottom of my heart. It's made me feel better about the future of the Amiga. It's a step in what I believed was the right direction. Three cheers for AT!
