Nueron / NuOS (ColdFire based project)

Hi,

I've known about the project for some time now (I joined the news group on the 27th May 2002) and did e-mail him a while ago about the V4 and compiling the 68K module with his software, what interests me is the Amiga Coldfire assembler software however it would be great if he did get a full motherboard out. (It would give a better chance of making the Coldfire route the most popular)
The boards looks very very professional and lots of very cool features.. and the dual V4 220Mhz version must be so fast.

I wish Stephen all the best and am keeping an eye on the OS, specially if it supports multi CPU environments.

Hi,

I would rather poke a fork in my eye than buy a 200mhz coldfire. By modern standards its slow, dog slow.

Yes but its a good speed for an Amiga and thats what counts, it  really depends what you want out of an Amiga, do you want a system to compete with PC's and Mac's, trying to be the number one platform again or do you just want a computer you like using and that does the job.

I personally doubt if Amiga will ever be number one again but I think its great fun to use and should continue to be developed but just not with Mhz and MIPS in mind but in how much fun and how easy it is to use.
If you want top Mhz go for a PC, if you want a real computer go for an Amiga  ;-)
