Do any of the hardware wizards on here have any good guestimations on the possible performance of the current NatAmi specs compared to a suped up 1200/4000?
I am more curious about the NatAmi compared to my current 1200 system (see sig). If I were to purcase a NatAmi Dev board would I more than likly notice any differences in speed/responsivnes?
Of course you would... try OS4, MOS, UAE or AROS on modern hardware, there you go...
Although I am aware that the NatAmi team are looking at Coldfire processors possibly with integrated SuperAGA (to allow for a low cost 'all-in-one' solution) I would prefer to have the Dev board to ensure really good backwords compatibility. (And it would also mean that I am more likly to be able to get one in the near future).
As I understand it, the NetAMI does not intend to be cycle compatible, so don't expect anything that isn't OS legal to run perfectly...
It would be nice though if they could make the dev boards socketed so I could add my own 060, hopefully allowing the price of the board drop significantly (as far as I know the 68K will be a big chunk of the cost of the board).
Don't hold your breath...
