410MIPS of processing power that is fully 68k compatible.


NOT ! Coldfire is not fully 68k compatible. emulation degrades it to normal 68040-68060 performance. That's why elbox abandoned/shelved it. Now, if we were in the early 90's, and software vendors were available/willing to recompile their stuff for coldfire, it would be meaningful, but unfortunately we're in 2007, and there isn't any software vendors around, so coldfire is mostly a useless effort. still I would like elbox to release it. maybe if some crazy person ports a decent browser to it, it may be profitable, NOT. but probably wouldn't hurt elbox anymore, since they already did the R&D.
