Question for OliHD...
« on: July 17, 2004, 04:41:08 PM »
Ok, we are all quite excited by the idea of a Classic Amiga accelerator based on the coldfire.. but did you consider the Dragonball? It runs at 66Mhz as standard without any cooling, maybe with some decent cooling it could be overclocked to something really impressive...

Hmm.. why is it that I only get around 14 (if I remember correctly, the thing is now disassembled) Mips in my A4000 with 3640 :-?


The 3640 is crippled by its memory bus IIRC...

Wait... does this all mean that the 166MHz OMAP in my Palm isn't 68000 compat? heh....


As far as I'm aware, though I know vert little about the Dragonball, the new ones (i.e. greater than 66Mhz) are ARM based but provision is made to run old Dragonball software, be that through software or hardware emulation I do not know.
