I see two major issues with this.
1 - Gunnar is perhaps concerned about other projects/open source CPUs, and by offering the core to other vendors he hopes to gain market share, however isn't he hurting the guys who make the vampire hardware/stand alone? Surely you can't have it both ways.

2 - Throttled back to something slower than they can do - so bit of a second class citizen ? no thanks.

You can pay for first class, like in a plane :) So But a free core in the 060 speed class is not bad, what other core can match that ??

You'll see..

Mike, with all the respect, i think you said that before to me.... That was a while ago. A lot of people will be very impressed if you show us a better softcore then Apollo.


I've been busy making new hardware as well, it's coming.
