12.08.2021 - 'Amiga 2000 EATX PCB' revision 1.2.1 released
The purpose of this project is to develop an open source Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor, an ATX variant that allows slightly deeper PCBs. There are one-to-one board replacement projects for the Amiga 2000, but none to change the layout to meet current form factor standards. In addition, the Amiga 2000 made use of connectors and custom parts that are no longer commercially manufactured. This often requires parts to be pulled from existing machines. As such, this project will make use of only actively supported components when possible. New in Rev. 1.2.1: - Added some missing component values to the silk screen, where there was room. - Moved VIDIOT over to make additional room for coprocessor cards
