Title: Amiga meets gigahertz
Post by: mousehouse on May 22, 2012, 09:30:33 PM
AMIGA MEETS GIGAHERTZ

Gideon Zweijtzer (of 1541-Ultimate fame) and Rutger Bevaart have teamed up to bring renewed innovation to the Classical Amiga by announcing the UltimatePPC today, the ultimate CPU expansion card for the Amiga 3000 & 4000. This new card will bring unparalleled performance and many great new features to the Amiga series of computers that were not available previously and give current users a viable upgrade path for aging components. It also opens new possibilities for newer versions of the Amiga Operating System or alternatives to run on your classic hardware with great performance. The UltimatePPC puts your Amiga right back on your desk as the most versatile and fun computer that has ever existed!

Right now the UltimatePPC is in active development, we expect to be able to take pre-orders at the end of 2012. Please visit our project website at http://ultimateppc.nl for availability information, specifications and detailed status reports.

Gideon & Rutger

Oh, so that was the secret that Gideon couldn't tell me when I met him last year.  What a project!

Sounds great,

Really? I've been using my PPC on my Classic Amiga since the 1990's, but then what do I know?  Since I, it appears,  can't tell the difference between an emulation layer and an "API."
