Coldfire - Binary Compatible

[Krusher]

Compatible enough as in not 100% compatible, so expect things to not work.

Wake me up when Coldfire is 100% compatible.

With enough demand, an fpga can be made into an asic.
I'd rather see a 100% compatible '030 though (in fpga).

I told you, with enough demand  :lol:

The A3000 with a 1.4 rom needs the '030 mmu, so yes it's used.

Kickstart V1.4 is actually a special version of Kickstart which loads the real Kickstart from a file called DEVS:Kickstart. Kickstart V2.04 was available as a ROM, or as a disk based version for use with A3000's which had Kickstart V1.4. A3000's fitted with Kickstart V1.4 cannot use 040 or 060 processors, regardless of what version of Kickstart is eventually booted, because it relies heavily on the integrated MMU in the 030 which varies to some degree from the MMU in 040 and 060 processors.
