@Thomas

Geez man, give it a rest.

Every bit of information of the 040/060 adapter is out in the open, and i dont agree with your claim that Cosmos is hiding information to his buyers. Go attac IComp regarding hiding information instead if this is your life mission.

About Cosmos making a profit of others work. I really dont see this argument either. The 040/060 adapter is opensource and everybody is free to make one. If i want to pay a friend for making it for me i really dont see the fuzz. I paid a dude money for making an IDE cable for me once. Is he stealing/profiting of the original IDE cable designers also? 50 EUR for his adapter is a very reasonable price thinking about the time i would spend making it myself. You would probably disagree, but if the adapter dont work, i would think Cosmos would provide good support, and if it is a fault in the build i think he would fix it without hesitation. So basicly this adapter comes with a guarantee.

Regarding the exec.lib patch. Here i can see your point, but who in their right mind cares? As Pyrre said, i really dont see the differece between a patch file, or a patched binary of the exec either.

And last. Cosmos.. Illuminati? Really?

Cheers!

- Taking somebody else's design and selling it
- Not properly advocating the problems of the design
- Depending on pirated software to work around design limitations
- Providing "bogus measurements" to wiggle around the design problems.

I dont see this as pirating software. I own my kickstarts and have paid licence for them when purchasing my amigas. Its my right to do whatever i want with the kickstarts. If i pay a friend to help me patch it i dont see how that is any different. Im paying for Cosmos time and rom chips as i see it. Going to the postoffice for example. I think i paid 14 EUR for two rom chips with the patched software. If he makes a couple of euros, who cares?!

And it is not like the one who holds the licences is loosing any money on this. Are they providing this service? No they arent, and they never will.

And what "design problems".. you mean the a3640 design it self? The a3640 has slooow mem access. Nothing will change that.. unless you add speedgeeks waitstate mod, which could in theory run an 040@50mhz.. Add a 060 on top of that @100mhz. voila you have a better product than the original with NO drawbacks compared to the original design mem wise... and wait wait.. what about speedgeeks waitstate mod. is that also pirating and profiting on the original designers?

Se my other post for answers on your other precious points made..

I think you are completely unreasonable here...
