You want a full 68060 ? Then buy that.
You want/require an FPU. Buy a card with that.
You want/require an MMU. Buy a card with that.


That is what I did. Now I have two 68060 equipped Amigas. :)

Apollo team main priority should be 100% compatibility 68040/060 cpus. Any other way to do it is pointless. That is just my opinion.

It's a valid opinion, but it's difficult to argue with the success they have had. They sell them faster than they can make them and have developed a large loyal following. When they're outselling PPC offerings many times over, in such a small market, how can you argue with their success?


Thanks for accepting my point of view, but your point is nonsense. You are basicly saying that if something is popular / succesful it some kind of shield for cristisim.

I expressed interest when price was 150 euros. I would have paid that even if I wouldn't ever use card. Current price is just too much for "maybe I just put it in to drawer" situation. So when it was my turn, I didn't take it. I would have like to use it with my CDTV. They say it works with CDTV, wich is not excatly true. Using it with CDTV would require disabling CDTV's extend roms.

Not what I'm saying at all.  I'm just saying they would likely not adjust their course to placate a small number of people when the vast majority are happy with their current feature roadmap.  Again, their success speaks for itself.


True. Usually I just ignore these kind of threads, as there is very little change to that anything said here could make them change their mind.
