PPC 970 Accelerator for A1?
« on: June 25, 2003, 07:17:06 PM »
Hello
There are rumors about PowerPC 970 2 GHz accelerator boards / cards for old Mac.
Is it possible to create such accelerator for AmigaOne?

IIRC Cyberstorm is actually PowerPC accelerator for Amiga 68K. AmigaOS 4 will run on Cyberstorm.

If such card / module is available, Is it possible to port AmigaOS 4 to 64 bit PowerPC 970 accelerator for AmigaOne?

>Who will create such board / module?

Perhaps Omnicluster or Totalimpact (if they can find suitable chipset for PowerPC 970).

By using slotserver / bewoulf approach (Omnicluster), it is possible to use the accelerator with PC, Classic 68K Amiga, PowerMac or other machines.

Omnicluster

Perhaps the card /module will be connected to the main machine using PCI bus, Zorro, Ethernet or other methods.

If this card is finished and bug-free, is it possible to pay Hyperion to port the AmigaOS 4 to this product?
