Vampire 2 PPC & Morphos

[Honkybear]

Please excuse my ignorance.

But is the Vampire 2 Card Capable or Could it be made Capable
of running OS 4 or Morphos.

Thanks

Does the FPGA have the capacity to emulate a PPC?

And this was pretty much my point. Was not so much does it but if it was capable or have the potential.

PPC 440 series CPUs like the one in the SAM 440 were developed in FPGAs originally.  They were glacially slower than the Vampire 2 is when running the 68080.  Consequently, if the 68080 were remade as an ASIC (regular masss-produced fast chip) it would probably be faster than a SAM 440 of the same clock speed.  It might even be fast enough to run a PPC emulator to run the newer PPC stuff in much the same way as the Intels run OS 4 on WinUAE.

Thanks for the information. My main reason for asking the question was that these days. It's near impossible to get hold of a PPC Card at a reasonable price and I thought could it be done with the Vampire 2 Card and therefore allow Amiga users to run OS4 and Morphos on an Amiga. I know there are several schools of thought on both of these Operating Systems. I thought it would be a good question to put to the Amiga community. Thanks Again
