Yes, and one VERY important thing you guys are missing ...it has FPU....yeahhhh baby :-D

I wonder if this will be faster than a 603e PPC? 410MIPS... this is RISC and should do more equivalent instructions per cycle. 8-) I'm no hardware guru but I'd love to see a discussion about this, the 266mhz version is probably fast.

Oli, how does the inclusion of this FPU makes it easier to emulate the previous 68k processors? Is it instruction compatible?
If so count me in the list of buyers for sure...
Hell I've been even reading 68k assembler stuff :-D :-D But I'm still planning to learn PPC assembler after...
By the way, how far are you from a final production prototype? (in terms of work not time 8-) )
