That appears to have been missing from the original post.
"We offer hardware developers a
_FREE_ 68080 CORE that is
compatible with the 68040/68060
and is set to about 68040/68060 speed. "
What is wrong with the Amiga scene is that people are still enabling Gunnar despite the lies he has told, it's like you want to be lied to. If the cargo cult stopped, then Gunnar would have to start telling the truth or disappear into obscurity. Maybe people would still buy into it if he told the truth, I guess we'll never know because the enablers won't risk it.
Saying something is compatible means that it's compatible, but it's not compatible. If you have to rely on an alternative definition of compatible then it's a lie.
You appear to have missed the point of this thread.
I think you are playing the semantics game. Did the release notes say 100% compatible with all features available er No. Does the whole world and his dog know that there is not a like for like MMU currently available.
So in your world you are waiting for the mythical phase 5 products to be release and skip merrily to 060 heaven. Back in the real world finding a supply of 060 processors is impossible, it would be easy to find Lord Lucan.
If a professional hardware developer wish to build an 080 accelerator board which gives the 060 a run for its money and create a 68EC060 like board at a good price then this is a good thing.
And for the record a do own a Vampire for my 600 and this is the only reason a got back into using an Amiga after 15 years+.
