Jens Shoenfeld's anwer to the Apollo petition

[utri007]

I've apollo 040 and it has it problems but it is OK for me. It works only with some MOBO / ROM compinations. Like it works with 1d4 with rom 3.0 but not with 3.1, it works IF timingfixes are done, just like ACA.

It has fast chip ram access,so fast that it seems faster than 060 with WB and some colors.

It is much more unstable than blizzard with zorro extenders, but with plain aga is stable.

And it seems that there are as many revisoins as there are apollo boards??

Apollos are part of Amiga history, yes they aren't best product in playground, but we are NOT talking new/still in production products here.

So keeping mind that historical point and there woun't be new apollo boards, Jens attitude is little childish? But he has his opinions and he is owner, so he has all the right to be childish.

Apollo boards are ok, I've had one years 10? It very stable without any other expanions and very very fast.

Compared to BLizzard it seems so much faster with WB, because it nonstandard chipram access, that I started to think that there is something wrong with my blizzard.

I works with zorro extenders but not that well as a blizzard.

It is also really picky with motherboard revisions, with timing fixes all problems are gone.
