UltimatePPC rumor

"Isn't this the PPC accelerator that uses a CPU that is binary incompatible with CPUs used in existing accelerators and motherboards?"

IIRC, they considered that and were evaluating using another processor, I think it's in one of the news on their site. No other real news after that, I doubt they'll make it too. Would be great news though if they did...

Well, if they wanted to cover the classic 68k market only they wouldn't be making a PPC accelerator in the first place. Have you looked at the prices the Cyberstorm PPC commands ?

[Jose]

Hold on a second, who said they gave up ? Just because they missed their self imposed deadline doesn't mean it's completely abandoned.
Of course, given the success rate of PPC Amiga projects it wouldn't be a surprise, but after all this work, if they were really working on it (some past projects were actually total vaporware) there's a chance they'll continue working on it, albeit slowly.

Well, a CS Mk2 with a PPC dev board attached would probably do it, but it's not very powerfull and it's utterly rare.

"What if instead of adding on to your A2000, you could just replace the board and have an 020/030 cpu and AGA graphics, with more memory, and maybe even a few PCI slots? "

Even better, replace the 68k with an FPGA core...
But this is getting way offtopic
