Freescale Coldfire V4s

@Iggy

You've piqued my interest. What company do you work for, some sort of embedded computer company?

On the side of this, I am very interrested in this.

If the Atari Coldfire system is pretty good with compatibility, wouldn't it be possible to use a sort of application layer that could modify instructions to Coldfire specific code.

If not, another model would be to recompile applications that we do have the source for, put the coldfire on a board with a 68k, and have a "wrapper" that is tested with applications before being released and from the results of its use come up with a way to send certain applications to the 68k and others to the Coldfire.

@Iggy.

I've been paying attention, and I now think your best bet would be to try and do this, if you are interested in pursuing it. Somehow set up this CF board as a Co-Processor, in Phase5 card fashion or similar, and from there get AROS recompiled for CF, and run it similarly to 3.9/WarpOS. But, I think it would be better to develop an Amiga PCI card for other systems and have it emulate say an ECS system. It woul pair well with MOS, and you could have slots for CPU and the chipsets from an Amiga, granting otherwise dead Amigas a new lease on life.
