The first one is Gary and will be called 'Gary Zander'. At the moment this board is 100% reliably tested on an Amiga 500 and only needs a bit more time during reboot. The lack of tri-state and open-drain pins on the Xilinx chip would be the reason not to release it now. The board would be produced and tested with these supplemented pins soon. Following this, the replacement for the Agnus will be tackled, called 'Willoe'. Currently, 3D models of the board are being printed to ensure they fit into the PLCC socket. The rough functional scope of Willoe: 100 pin TQFP Lattice MachXO2 core (XO2-2000) Near instant-on (CPLD-like) functionality 16MB of 133MHz, 8-bit pSRAM for AGA+ bandwidth 1MB, 2MB Agnus and 2MB Alice compatibility Jumpered NTSC/PAL default modes (will also obey pin and software changes) Automatic 8372 and 8375 pin detection (universal socket compatibility) Many optional features to come (dr) [News message: 21.

In two recent blog entries he reports about the progress on the project: With the first entry he opens his developer diary and lists all changes he has made to the project starting in January 2020 until today. The second entry reports specifically on his progress with 'screens': 'getBestScreenMode' can be returned for Planar and Saga Chunky modi. 'OpenScreen' can open bitplanes screens (up to 256 colors). working on ’primitive’ copper list support for full screen view with 1 screen. This will later be replaced by a more complex system that can handle more than one screen in view and grid effects. (dr) [News message: 19.

In a new blog entry from yesterday, the developers now announce that the source code for PJIT has been reopened and the private repository has been merged and closed. From now on there is only one repository for PJIT. Closed Source on the other hand remains the firmware, which contains the boot loader, the PRU programs and the CPLD image, and the hardware design files. (dr) [News message: 18.
