Coldfire prototype, pics : Comment 48 of 67 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 28-Jun-2003 08:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (neongod): ...hmm, I sort of agree with you. but i'd prefer to rephrase it.
This ColdFire project is the best thing for the classic Amiga
since the release of PCI boards for these systems!
Everyone always wished for 100MHz 060's and 080's etc - well, THIS
is the alternative way. Its also very clean and obvious way to go!
I'm not a fanboy of A1 *OR* Pegasos. but , come on, lets face it,
theres not a single part of 'Amiga spirit' in those motherboards.
they are both implementations of a MB with 3rd party south/north bridges,
PowerPC chip, PCI etc..... come to think of it, replace the PPC with x86 and
you have a standard Intel PC!!! so. why is one better than the other? well,
at the end of the day it'll come down to how much 'Amiga' is in the Operating System. it'll all be revealed in the wash and rinse stage.
myself. I'm keen on seeing AmigaOS on PowerPC native. its been a long 4 year wish. i'm also keen on zipping my 060 Amiga A1200 some extra speed notches
for all the classic 68k stuff that'll only run in emulation (if at all) on these new PPC systems
