| @Loretto A rough assumption would be late this year or early next year (for the developer boards). I don't think anyone is able to confirm a release date yet. Regarding the price, I guess the first cards are most likely going to cost around $800 or so. That's just an assumption, though. :-)

| Productivity Till now all screenshots were taken from a LCD which requires (of course) scandoubling of the whole image. So this picture is the first without scandoubler: 
For all people who were at the BUP party: The picture is steady without flickering anymore! And second, as you can see I was also able to add 14MB of chip memory to the system to test. Finally thanks to Team Chaos Leader! On one hand very obvious... on the other... SO AMAZING, it really works! I opend one big HAM8 screen after the other. Every screen is fully in chip-ram, full correctly displayed - and I can still open the next picture! With the working additional chip memory the LX board design is now officially more advanced than the c-one prototype!

| Everyone is cheering mate.
We know the Amiga is amazing, but it was originally amazing because of its engineers and founders and care takers.
Now with your team, the life long dream of many is becoming reality.
NOTHING BUT PURE ABILITY.
Good Work!

| Nice to see the build-in scandoubler/flickerfixer working!
Sorry, can't help it, but i have some questions :o)
I do wonder why the workbench doesn't fill out the entire screen? It have been like that since the first screen vid.
This new chip memory - Is it still located on the cpu board, or have you succesfully utilized some of the memory on the main board?
How far away is full 128m chipmem support?
Does it take much effort to boost the workbench to hicolor or maybe even truecolor?
- Just curious.

| Wow! The fact that you are able to overcome previous technological limitations is fantastic, and it's really what the project is all about! Bravo!

| Beating the old C-one prototype is indeed a milestone! Hoping to special Natami only features soon!

Its an stupid LCD Monitor(or a wrong justated CRT) like on a Real Amiga with no native resolution you have
a) a blurry full screen picture, from that you get eye cancer
or
b) the LCD try to keep pixel on pixel(1:2 mapping etc.)
b is the best but very few TFTs can do that. Then the Amiga(not gfx card) makes a gray boarder around the used display, the TFT recognize too the gray stuff as a picture and is not able to make a fullscreen picture. Tools that make the gray to black can avoid this.
Where the rest of the 256 MB memory is, is a good question.

| At the risk of being repetitive and redundant:
Each picture you NatAmi team post I'm more and more excited about the progress of your dream project! Keep it up!

We had an accident in the lab.
A big disaster....
We lost most of the ram in a timewarp.
The entire team is working very hard to build a time machine so we can fetch the ram. We currently need a lot more duct tape and some 200 Terrawatt Tesla Chronoscopes. Then we will be back on track.

You need somebody to use all this, somebody efficient... i vote for Bruce WILLIS (if he can do that in movies he can do that for real).

Hehe, I actually liked Steven Seagal in his early movies!
I have another action hero turned bad singer for you; David Hasselhoff. And yes I do think Knight Rider rules!

| I also like Steven ;-) .
Jet lee isn't a bad choice too, but will be more fun with Jacky CHAN.
KITT is already a mutated A1000.
We can also chose a neighbourd from me... Jean-Claude "i can do straddle split and still have children" VAN "i can also crush nuts with my butt" DAMME.
David Hasselhoff is maybe a bad singer but he's friend with Robert Sponge !! Respect.

Slight setback, the infinite improbability drive appears to have an intermittent misfire on the 3RD cylinder. Tried to ajust the timing and suddenly my phone was turned into a motorola startak and a cardfile. Maybe we should add more speed holes?Also amigakit have just ran out of Flux Capacitor AGAs, do you think a normal ECS timedoubler will suffice?

Ah the Muscles from Brussels! Robert Sponge? Is that Spongebob Squarepants' name in French? Hasselhofs appearance in the movie was cool.

No, it's just "Bob l'éponge" or some times "Bob l'éponge carré", but bob is robert's diminutive, so. So, the Natami Heroes Team will be : Bruce WILLIS
Chuck NORRIS
Steven SEAGAL
Jet LEE
Jacky CHAN
David HASSELHOFF and KITT

Jean-Claude VAN DAMME

| LOL!!!!! Oh and, I also like Knight Rider! The NatAmi is eventually supposed to have 256 Megs Chip and 256 Megs fast, though. But hey, NOT having more than 2 Megabytes of chip ram was quite a crippling "feature" of Amiga..... One of MANY barriers has fallen!!!!! WoooooHOOOO!!!!!!! NatAmi FTW!!!!!
