Alan Redhouse, stop pretending that you know anything and go back to your store.
He obviously doesn't know when to shut up.
Hardware flaws should be "fixed" with workarounds in the "kernal [sic!] and firmware"? This fix can't be good because CPLDs are "small" and cost "40 cents"?
Following that "reasoning", a snippet of code should only be stored on large and expensive tapes, instead of a small and cheap floppy disk? The code must be much more buggy and quicker written when it's stored on a floppy... We should all drive a 200 ton mining truck down the street to buy a newspaper, instead of taking the bike? The bike would be the appropriate and most efficient tool for the job, but it can't be good because it's cheaper and smaller than the mining truck.
So there's no reason for Mai to come up with new cores then, just do the fixes and upgrades in every OS's "kernal" and in the firmware of all boards that uses and will use the Articia?

It's the entire PCB design, including "GALs" and bplan's code in those, and its application that has a name. Why would anyone dream of naming a motherboard? It's just a bunch of off the shelf components that someone has put together in a cerain order, right?
Said Alan, who sells solderjobs like the "EZ-Key EX" (TM) keyboard adapters, and a "Teron CX" motherboard under the licensed "AmigaOne SE" trademark.
But bugs discovered by bplan doesn't exist, so why should there be a reson to fix this in "the kernal" or in the firmware?
