FPGA Accelerator Boards for 600

old news. i wouldnt bet at it much, considering the experience.

Considering what experience ? The experience that Majsta made a product against all odds ? Experience that people like you laugh at him when he started the project saying its not possible, i wouldnt bet at it much etc... Or is it maybe the experience that he made a revolutionary product for Amiga (first fpga accelerator) and made it open source. Yeah that guy cant be trusted, he must be a communist or something

Is communist a bad term over there? It all goes in circles and I get confused. The U.S. has become the communists (President and Democrats), the Russians have become the Putin fascists (at least according to comrade Hilliary Clinton) and the Chinese have become the capitalists. Where does that leave the German realist peacemakers now? Under fire? Wawa got bashed over on EAB for harmless realistic comments too.

The truth is that Majsta seems to be blown out or lost interest (at least taking a break instead of working to support his fine project) and Gunnar's Phoenix is way behind schedule probably because he is a big dreamer who changes ideas all the time (the VHDL core is probably faster than any fpga core but may never be finished). That's coming from the most active member of the Apollo "Team" on the Apollo forum besides Gunnar. I have tried to help and I've tried to push but everything Amiga seems to be in this time warped lala land. It's probably just better to relax, hope for the best and not expect much. Anything good is then a pleasant surprise .

About what? in what way?

The link is above. Well maybe not bashed but stung by the StingRay. StingRay has this vendetta against Gunnar or something. Wawa tried to take the middle ground and show support. It had more to do with the complete failure of Natami (according to StingRay) than anything to do with majsta's accelerator although wawa showed support for it too. Amiga people sure can be opinionated over the smallest things. I guess that's why we have 4 camps. Djole did put a in there so I guess it could have been worse.

alas its way more complicated. as for german peacenicks you might consider me polish peacenik living in berlin. not that i woudnt support basic right for self definition, and russian imperialism a threat but this has nothing to do with communism;)

Would you be living in Berlin if it was not for communism? If it has nothing to do with communist imperialism and the redrawing of borders after WWII then perhaps it has to do with the lack of prosperity brought by communism? Poland was thrown under the bus by FDR. While many other allies returned home after WWII, our Polish allies that returned home found a carved up nation and severe communist oppression. For example, Witold Pilecki, one of WWII's greatest heroes, survived his infiltration of Auschwitz which he helped expose only to be murdered by the communist puppet state because he was seen as a potential threat. Putinism has dropped the communism but it still installs puppets in it's shrinking sphere of influence. At least the Germans learned their lesson and have become skeptical and peaceful while seeking economic power giving you a good home .

i have not even noticed stingray responded, and i dont feel like being bashed, its a regular discussion, i do even agree with him for the most part, i just dont feel the rage.

Any time "Natami" is mentioned on EAB he shows up and starts in on Gunnar. Even if Gunnar is incompetent, at least he is trying and believes in what he is doing. Nothing was directed at you but StingRay was a little rude to you.

Communist part was supposed to be sarcastic. I grew up in communism and it wasnt that bad. Most people had better life back then, more money and even more freedom.

I understood your sarcasm. Your English was spot on. Wawa's English words could have been better chosen but it's also the inability to convey emotion in written language. I know wawa though and know he supports 68k projects like majstas.

It's sad that the corruption and socialism in your country are so bad that communism "wasn't that bad". Communism stifled creativity in Eastern Europe for many years and it takes a while to come back. Majsta has risen above and for a cause other than money (although a small profit could better allow him to continue to do what he loves). I respect that and hope his recent distraction is short lived.
