Iggy glad you finally saw the light I would hate for you to take on an impossible mission...
Well, I still hold that it not impossible. BUT, I often posted here that while you CAN do something SHOULD you?
After I got some information of the amount of programmable logic on the CSPPC, the amount of work needed just looked too massive.
The card needs a re-design. Much of that logic is obsolete and you would probably want to combine it all into one FPGA.
Heck, thanks to the Virtex 5 series you could even incorporate the PPC into the same FPGA (maybe even the 68K core as well).
I'm not adverse to good advice, so I considered what you'd said, Jeff's comments, and a really nasty post from
Thomas Dellert that Andreas dug up for me
Using Phase5's original work doesn't make much sense.
many many times have semi serious ppl in the amiga community contempleted a new ppc card. Nobody has done it as its not worth the time and effort by a longshot.
GOOD point. I'm into pain, but THAT much?
btw why do you have this commdrscot in your sig?
For awhile I was convinced Franko just wanted to be a contrary sod, but he has made important points about free speech, the necessity of NOT holding your tongue, and the HIGHLY questionable claim that ANYONE owns the rights to Workbench/AOS.
So William Wallace was right, freedom is most important.
@Karlos - You know what the real pisser is?
Thomas Dellert not only would rather burn the Phase5 documentation then release it, but he probably has a G4 design that could be updated more readily then the 604e/603e designs.I've got every bit as bad an opinion of him as he does of the Amiga community (worse actually). HE blames US for HIS business failures.
