We need to interview this good fellow! I would LOVE to put one of those in one of my Amigas! Wouldn't that just rock?!!?

Too late!

We had already done 6 months ago :-D :-D (on Bitplane magazine)

Seriously, Oliver "Hannaford" Day is a genius!

Follow him with the right consideration and think that he works on AmigaColdfireProject, only for 6 months per year.

A great opportunity for all Amiga Classic.

Ciao

WOW, neat project, that's for sure.
I would think I would prefer a new PPC motherboard...

another one?

AOne and Pegasos aren't enough?

It's prolly waaaaaaaaaay to early to ask this, but I'm going to anyway.

Any idea of the price range these cards will fall in? I could imagine the price being higher than the current PPC cards.


Wrong ;-)

estimated final prices: from £160 to £240

Ciao!

Does this project make any sense anymore?

Now when amiga has migrated from 68k and legacy hardware coldfire doesnt seem to be attractive.

Its not as powerful as ppc and none of the new amigaos-flavor os-es will run on it.

I classify it as hardcore geek toy :)

i think that you have forgot to write: IMHO :-)
