The NatAmi Project
This hardware project is dedicated to the still innovative system architecture of the Commodore AMIGA computer.
The basic concept is straight: Get the original Amiga design up-to-date.
The NatAmi approach is to rebuild the original system
without emulation
without abstraction layers
without legacy drawbacks
Topics on Compatibility:
The NatAmi is compatible to the OCS/ECS/AGA AMIGA chipsets.
AMIGA Kickstarts 1.2, 1.3, 3.0, 3.1 are supported
We recommend AMIGA Workbench 3.0 - 3.9 to be used
AMIGA 4000/1200 register compatible IDE controller on board (enhanced, PIO and DMA)
Existing AMIGA IDE harddrives can be used unchanged
AMIGA DD/HD floppy support using standard PC Floppy drives.
Floppy drive access can be redirected using ADF images on HD.
AMIGA applications, games and demos that run on classic 68060-Systems,
will run on NATAMI as long as they have not any constrains to chipset timings/limitations.
Direct hitting of the Amiga hardware works natively.
Querying CIA, and blitter registers will fully work just like on original AMIGA hardware.
All features documented in the Commodore Hardware Reference Manual, work as written there.
Enhancements will be described in similar style and quality.
PS/2 mouse and keyboard can be used just as well as the original devices.
PS/2 devices are mapped to the original hardware registers.
