may we see some benchmark please?

There was this one not too long ago:

ok according to sysinfo it is only 7.7777777777.. slower than 060/100
(if so it needs to be about 4 times fater to catch up with 060/50)
And the one you designed is how fast again?  :)

Why do people have to be so negative about positive things...

It's not Natami.  It is as fast as it was designed to be...

I'm happy with that..

why do you people always try to assume an intended insult is beyond me.

That's a mistake on my end then.  I'm guessing it's just a language barrier issue..

It certainly sounded like (and still does when I re-read it, but maybe that's just me) a negative comment about the speed.

Since that wasn't intended, mea maxima culpa...  :)

It probably won't affect availability of 60's for Amiga users, as they are probably stock on hand (not making them anymore?), but as I understand it, Freescale has a major plant in/near Sendai and the recent events have seriously affected them....

EmuTOS and FreeMiNT are to Atari what AROS is to Amiga.

He also said they had the sources to Atari TOS, which I think was more interesting...

I am just wondering, why would we want to run AROS on a 68k system when we can run Workbench the normal way ? What are there advantages ?
As far as I can tell, the main advantages are that you could get it legally, without having to dig around e-bait or wherever..
And, it would be supported..

You are right tho, that if Workbench works for you and you have it, you should be fine...

Yeah, the answer is obvious:  NONE.
I also thought the answer was obvious: LICENSING

As I understand it, Kryoflux isn't interactive.  
It's for creating images (or writing images to floppy).

MikeJ, Isn't 500 boards a huge economical risk? The first 100 boards should be no problem. But 500..
Remember, this isn't just Amiga.
There is a good size market for people with Arcade machines whose insides are almost always in trouble..

Some of the old machines weren't necessarily built that well (I'm looking at you Pole Position II!!!)...

p.s.  Enjoy the fest!

68020 was in some aspects a requirement for AGA.

There's a youtube vid showing FPGA Arcade (early proto I believe) running AGA software with a 68000 core...
Lion King AGA I believe...

Yeah, I know. But there's likely other software that exploit the 68020 capability. One program won't prove it for all software. The larger memory bitwidth might be needed on occasion perhaps as well

True, although they run a few in yaqube's vid.

But, I think I heard that the 68000 FPGA in use had memory tweaks (full 32-bit bus????)..
So I think it was a core that was somewhere in between a 68k and a 68020.

Could be wrong tho..  I was once..

..

Actually, no I wasn't..  Got that wrong, sorry.. :angry:

.. and the fact there would need to be some sort of DRM .
Why would you need that?

GOG doesn't use DRM when they sell older games?
