Does the Phoenix core you have been working with, have all 4 TTR registers?
Are they compatible with 68060?

I think PsxPhill would be perfectly happy as long as the mini-MMU that is contained in ALL 68060 chips was included in the Phoenix/Apollo/68070/WhateverItIsCalled.

It can, but why? New 68Ks can be bought for cents,


Amiga community does not always make cents :D

One way or another, I don't quite get your demands.


He is saying that we want 1 Amiga that "does everything".

It could load a 68000 core to be a 68000.
It could load a 68EC070 core to be a 68EC070.
It could load a 68070+MMU core to be a 68070+MMU.
etc. etc.

Apparently there is also a Mac-Compatible core and a Not Mac-Compatible core. Which seems like a reasonable compromise.

When is the last time in your memory that you had one device that "did everything"?  Let me help you answer that......NEVER.  I wish you guys would stop trying to impose unreasonable demands on a hobby such as Apollo/Phoenix.

Chill out.  I am not demanding anything.  I was just explaining to Thor, the concept that psxphil was explaining, using different words.

As for your scenarios above, the FPGAs can do such things if someone develops the cores you're looking for.  Get it thru your heads that Mac compatibility, MMUs, and 100% absolute compatibility are not the goals of this project and move on.  Or better yet, learn to develop a core that YOU'RE happy with and stop whining.

/me casts RetaliatoryStrike +20 vs.  Misdirected Rants

Gunnar already said there would be a Mac-Compatible version of the core.
Gunnar has also said, 512 bazillion times that 68070/Apollo would be 100% compatible.
If you don't like the way Gunnar is doing things then learn to develop a core that YOU'RE happy with and stop whining.
