Coldfire Update
« on: June 27, 2003, 07:03:18 PM »
The Coldfire Project now seems to have a prototype working in an A4000.  For more information have a look at the site's  news section or at some pictures of the PCB.

On Olivers page:

Actually any Amiga with a fast slot and no other CPU


Does that include an A3000/3000T with properly set jumpers?

Great stuff!

I also want one for one of my A1200. Then I also have to have a Mediator with a VooDoo 3. I'll also need a tower then.

Damn  :-)  ; all three Amiga 1200's towered then! Where am I going to leave all this stuff.  :-)

The prototype wont work in an Amiga 3000 (do the tower versions have an onboard CPU? I would think so and in which case it wouldnt work on them either) as the prototype is missing the custom chip for bus takeover, that will be added latter when everythings working.

The Coldfire Project now seems to have a prototype working in an A4000.

Where does it say it's actually working? All I can see is some mock-ups of the card with some components placed on it.

Not trying to put down anyone, but perhaps we should not be over optimistic? :-)

Someone correct me if it is actually working.
