Whatever happend to the Coldfire project?

[Karlos]

Two questions...

1) What's the fastest coldfire cpu available that would be feasable in an accelerator

2) What sort of missing instruction emulation will be used? Hopefully something like oxypatcher / cyberpatcher...

I think it's a cool idea. I might have to pick up a 2nd hand a1200 just to kit out with one :-)

[Karlos]

Cool :-)

Anyhoo, I meant hopefully the emulation works like ocypatcher - ie patching instructions rather than trapping them every time :-)
 - my fault for being a bit ambiguous...

...well, I am a moron after all ;-)

Ok, look at it this way. OS3.9 will be around for some time after the launch of OS4. Kitting out older systems for which PPC is not an option with a CPU capable of 300MHz 68K operation with pre-OS4 isn't a bad idea :-)

Even if I could afford an A1XE, I'd still like one of these to play with :-)

Oli_hd,

I think I speak for the majority when I say it doesn't matter diddly what qualifications you do/do not have. The fact you already have a prototype (working or not) is proof enough you can cut the mustard.

I sincerely wish you well and maybe your work will be a lease of life for all those systems left in the dark by the move to PPC.

I'd certianly be interesed in a coldfire a1200 to play with :-D
