Are there cases that fit this like the PI cases?

He is communicating perfectly well, it's what he is communicating that is the issue.

He is a big fish in a small pond. There are loads of people in the world that could do what he is doing or are even better than him. But they are too busy earning money.

Normally it would then come down to it being a hobby where you appeal to the greatest audience, but he's not interested in that either.

It's a bit like how Trumps supporters in the US have enabled him to be in a position that he is not capable of dealing with. Sure the US is likely to survive Trump, and the apollo products are being released. It will just be less good than it could have been. Trump may have actually been a decent president if his supporters weren't alt right, sexist, racist, biggots etc as he would have more reason to appeal to decent people.

If you are going to insult us, get it right. You spelled bigot wrong.

Vampire 600 v2 and Vampire 500 V2+ is delivered with the Gold 2 version of the Apollo core.

What you get is a 100% 68k cpu that is:
-Fully Pipelined
-Superscalar
-Executes up to 4 instructions per clock cycle
-Two address calculation engines
-Two integer execution engines
-Market leading code density
-Optimal cache utilization
-Separate data and instruction caches, supporting concurrent fetch/read/write per clock cycle
-Automatic memory prefetching
-Memory stream detection
-Store buffer
-Branch prediction

also upgrades as
- New Special Purpose Register (including rich set of Performance counters)
- 64 Bit wide Register (Als Dn-Regs are 64 bit wide)
- Apollo has 16 Pointer Registers and 32 Data register it can use.
- These Registers can be used both with AMMX and with every normal instruction.
- AMMX
- MPU 'Memory Protection' Unit, that allows to detects and protects from Illegal Memory Access
- CPU counters

AMMX is the 68k version of the MMX instruction set from INTEL.
-Both MMX and AMMX allow to run SIMD instructions.
-Both support the same type of operations.
-Both allow to operate directly on Register or to use Memory as Input operand.
-AMMX enhanced MMX in such a way that if offers
a) 3 Operand operations
b) Does not limit the programmer to 8 Register but allows him to use up to 32 Registers.

Can you be more specific?

I feel bad for Kipper, this bad production must have been truly soul crushing.

No, I am saying my interpretation of grazy must mean crazy times two.
I want fpu and mmu.
