i new it. there is a simple one word answer to the question but people will nevetheless fill this thread with endless phantasizing about a possible ppc in fpga, no matter that it would not help anything, because mos and os4 would have to be explicitely ported to that combination of hardware, which is another "no" everybody has forgotten to ask about.

And this was pretty much my point. Was not so much does it but if it was capable or have the potential.


what for? ppc cpus are still available.

If put you a whole PowerUP card on an FPGA then OS4.x and older versions of MorphOS would run on it.


im not so sure. there is apparently so much trouble to properly configure winuae to even run os4 that one needs either multiple pages of manual or a special application to get it right. who knows all the quirks and how such "fake" hardware would behave. what concerns morphos i have never got it to run on my apparently perfectly supported setup.

and now, what the point of this whole discussion if a sloution even if possible would only prove one point, namely that it was too complecated and unnecessary.

what strikes me about a number of posters on amiga-like sites, is that they have some fraudian problem. they dont accept what is availeble for them. they demand the impossible. as example they want amiga os on x86, but they dont want aros, which is what it could effectivly be, best case. or they dont want to run os4 on dedicated hardware, they want to run it on something completely inappropriate.

An Amiga with both an FPGA based 68K accelerator and a PPC processor would be ideal as it would allow us to run both legacy and NG code.


then how about an amiga with 68k to run amiga software, ppc to run your linux ports you call ng software and x64 to run aros or whatever system your productivity demands with today appropriate resources? sigh..

But I don't see anything wrong with supporting both NG hardware and legacy hardware with FPGA accelerators.


why always this duty to support something? simply choose what you want to use.
