It'd be like the "Only AMIGA" video but with the opposite mindset. :-D

Of course!More discreet, another idea would be a tribute to the tradition of hidden messages with the elite of these comments and-or to cheer up the Guru Meditation, add them to it.

You can boot from usb using the deneb usb2 card. And I think most people are doing this because :
2) This is far much faster than the old crappy IDE you have on the amiga motherboard ;-)

Depends. Its not faster if you use a Graphiccard too on Zorro and play a Video cause the limited Zorro Speed have to be shared.
If you want play Music with a Zorro Sound Card its interrupted by the DMA driver you have to use PIO.
5 MB/s IDE is too possible with A1200 and IDEFix Express, FastATA or A4000.
I use SCSI of course, USB i use for Sticks, Digicams, Camcorder, Handys and so on.

Good surprise reading you.
SCSI.device exists under a1200 with ROM3.1 even you're hardware seesms to be IDE. Is it a mistaken name or does SCSI.device simply uses PIO instead of DMA?

Right on the spot. I am bit divided on this though. On the one hand, the image of the underdog winning against all odds is a powerful theme. On the other hand, maybe we want a more positive image? Putting it in the Guru messages may be just the right kind of humor.

| I notice in the MX overview that there is one block of 64bit memory, does this mean that there is now just one bus for fast and chip memory?

The IDE Port use the scsi.device. Some people maybe can explain the name. IDE on A600/A1200/A4000 dont have DMA.
But on the Deneb you cant use DMA if you want play a mp3 from a usb-stick. It interrupts the Transfer to the Zorro Soundcard.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
The conclusion is a little bit funny ; you're great.

P.S. : I don't play with Deneb for now, bought but not installed yet... other project took my time...

Hello I see that there are ideas on cover to NATAMI. I thought of placing the housing NATAMI from Amiga 600, but how to solve the problem While connecting to the original Amiga 600 keyboard? Sorry for the mistakes, but I write with translator.

64 bit bus x4 burst size=32 byte bursts. both CPU and devices are said on this forum to use 16 byte burst/lines.
what's up?

why? It is still a market, marketing policy and numbers.
Just niche market, honest marketing policy and smaller numbers.
