Somebodies still do not know for this new Project, perhaps this is the continuation of being famous Amiga.

NATAMI Specification:

The Natami is no expansion card but a complete computer, compatible with Commodore AMIGA.

    * GFX: SuperAGA chipset on board
      Compatible to AGA but enhancing it.
    * Supported Resolutions:
      320x256 - 1280x1024

    * Supported Pixelformats:
      Planar 1-8 Planes, HAM 6/8, 8bit Chunky, 16bit Hicolor, 32bit Truecolor

    * Video and VGA:
          o 31kHz VGA:
            Analog VGA SUB-D HD15 output
            15kHz screens are automatically scandoubled (not flickerfixed)
          o SVideo:
            PAL/NTSC video output through SVideo connector.
            15kHz are shown directly without conversion (SVideo quality).
            All screens are scaled to 720x512 (or 720x400 on NTSC) as long as the VSYNC is 50/60Hz
            corresponding RGB-analog signals may be available on internal (on board) connector.
          o Genlock:
            an SVideo input connector is available also. The background color can be exchanged with this signal.
            This feature is not implementey yet and has lower priority.

    * AUDIO: Paula style sound
      4 Voices
      From: 8bit Samples x 6 Volume
      To:   16bit Samples x 8 Volume

    * COPPER: including original AGA copper

    * BLITTER:
      Fully compatible with AGA-AMIGA
      Speed of SuperBlitter is many times faster than AMIGA AGA blitter
      comparisons will follow.
    * 2D Enhancements:
      In Chunky/Hicolor/ or Truecolor pixel mode the Super Blitter can "cookie cut" copy bobs.
      Like the AMIGA Sprites, a "cookie cut" copy needs no blitting mask.
      This enabled the blitter to use less memory and to work at double speed compared to planar blits.

    * 3D Accelerator:
      Texturemapping Blitter enhancement.
      Provides Mipmapping, Subpixel 4 way interpolation, Light sources, Antialiasing

    * Amiga backwards Compatible IDE controller supporting PIO and DMA

    * Amiga Compatible Floppy Disk controller

    * 2 PCI slots onboard to allow later upgrading (3rd available with riser-caard)

    * CPU on board
      68060 CPU on board for instant compatibility with AMIGA software

    * CPU expansion slot
      Allows upgrade to another CPU (Coldfire/PowerPC/Cell)
      SLOT layout will be fully documented to allow 3rd party upgrade designs.

I should have posted this ages ago, thanks anemos, .

[EmuChicken]

... typical

edit ;
the news is coming along very slowly...  I'm doubtful will ever get released- the rate in which the news comes in is...  slow ;/  ...

It might be released in 2011 or so. With a 060 and low specs. Beta and running almost no software. Yay! I can't wait!
Seriously this is another big ambition, low outcome project. Not sure why they even bother with it anymore, but I guess they are too far into it anyway.

Another dead thread revived, . Thanks Emu, you can tell he has just come back, lol.

I hope this project dies quickly, cause all the promises and blowing smoke up peoples arses and theres nothing to show.

Well put FOL Even if they finish it, I wonder what specs and price point the final version will have. I bet it's more expensive than a SAM and less powerful while running... well... which OS do they aim for anyway? 3.9?

Better stuff be on the market by the time its released, so whats the point.

I really have no clue. I bet they just release it because 'they can' now. Some people will still buy it...

Sorry, I ment, better stuff will be on the market by the time they release anything.

...  You think?   Im guessing at around 2012 or 2013, and thats only if it doesnt run out of steam.


IMO 90% chance of failure going at the rate the news is being updated atm

I know There is really no point in developing it, but it became an obsession. We'll see if they ever finish it

Heh, I really don't know when or if it will be released, but I won't be the 'super' machine they planned. People will pay insane money for it (if it is ever finished ). Makes me a bit sad for the zealots

[Anemos]

Natami for all plz..
