Coldfire prototype, pics : Comment 33 of 67 | ANN.lu |
Posted by takemehomegrandma on 27-Jun-2003 14:05 GMT | Hmm, looks cool! :-) Some questions:
How about compatibility with old software?
How about Price/Performance compared to the existing PPC solutions?
Will there be a JIT ?
This looks like a complete little computer by itself! Add some kind of display support and you have a stand-alone computer! Perhaps it would make it better on "the market" as a stand-alone computer than as a CPU upgrade for classic Amigas? To me it seems to be a little "stuck in the middle" like it is now.
A semi-serious question: Why don't you talk to Jeri and license her "Super VIC" (http://c64upgra.de/c-one/s_specs.htm), and you will have a completely new and upgraded "classic" Amiga, with copper, Blitter and all...?! Better video than AGA, no bottlenecks from the past (perhaps completely new ones instead ;-) ), and no problem with and *dying* old hardware. It would be just as interesting as the Commodore One as a hobby computer and would perhaps appeal better to old Amigans that are thinking about leaving the 68k classic realms for the PPC A1 (which is more of a "PC" than your computer with the "Super VIC" would be). Port AROS to it, and we have a winner!
