No, that means the HW is a Piece Of Shit !

Cache coherency is a basic feature of anything claiming to be used as a desktop machine.

What a PPC linux kernel hacker thinks about the Articia : Comment 27 of 68ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 18 (Emeric SH):
"Calling back and exchanging/hw fixing all the existing AmigaONE boards would be a devastating blow to Eyetech."

They did it already once.
There have been new ArtisiaS revision since, new boards, etc...

"IMO that's why the look for a software solution was so desperate. "

I disagree.

If the HW Fix would have been crusial to Eyetech, it would have been in A1XE boards already. Most likely not even MiniA1 will have any HW fix/glue logic.
