Amiga PowerPC poll

hesitating but rather not. not anymore. however an fpga or an accelerator on whatever fast cpu running fast 68k emu from the firmware would interest me more.

in my opinion we have to reconsider the options. it has been pushed for so long that it has become customary to consider ppc the only option. the argument being a necessity to rewrite the whole os and the applications pool for a new architecture. i think amithlon has shown very well that amiga might be much better off if legacy 68k has become the common virtual platrform with as much backends on different hardware as there is interest for. the emulation overhead is of course a considerable part, but it could be outweight translating critical parts to the native code on each platform step by step.

well, but what do you want to achieve? jens is surely very well aware of the situation, likely better than any of us, since he does a real business in the fileld. he was frequently asked to develop a ppc accel replica and we know his answer (several 10k funds needed, he isnt going to invest) and we know his opinion about ppc on amiga (its been a mistake). so why bother?
