So, nine days away from the "Amiga30" event in Amsterdam.  The "Ultimate PPC" team are on the bill to be there.  Taking bets on if there's any significant development on this project?  Google tells me nothing...

looks like the ultimateppc developers have punted on appearing at the amiga 30th anniversary event this weekend in amsterdam. :(

Heh.  Somebody gave them a tag on their name on the event website.  Dislike.  :(

Prove "a couple of boards were made", and THEN it isn't BS.

There's photos of completed boards on their website.  Photoshop, some might claim, I suppose, but why go to all the trouble of assemble boards and then... what?  Not write the software to run them?  Is that what the holdup was?  Of course there's that whole issue of them having chosen a processor that's not compatible with any of the existing PPC software, which just made their job about a million times harder... *sigh*  I just don't understand people sometimes. :(

And legacy PPC apps, are they really that important?
There aren't that many of them, and most can be run by an NG OS.

I would pay good money for a PPC board that allows my A2000 to run OS4.1.

Yeah, I won't hold my breath.  :lol:
