Coldfire - Binary Compatible

[rkauer]

 The Coldfire project (from Oliver, also around here in A.org) is stopped due the incompatibilities of the Coldfire versus a true 68k.

 Also one note: 2.1 MIPS? Check the source where you copy'n'paste before throw us that garbage!

Look what I just found at wikipedia:

"Newer models of ColdFire are compatible enough with 68k processors that it is now possible to create binary compatible Amiga clones... --zip--

 Then it will be big news!

 But I'm afraid, without some hardware between the CF and the 030 socket to intercept bad code the board will stuck again.

 So we end at the very same boat.

 The original question is: how to create a "new" accelerator for classics.

 My best shot: reverse engineering the 68060 and put the results in a FPGA, but clocked at a monster speed.

 Of course, this solution may be not very practical, because the cost of such FPGA (@least 400MHz, a dozen logic gates, BGA package and so on).
