Coldfire has been demonstrated to work (I remember someone putting a video of the prototype being demoed here on AO). The problem is that with all the bits in place to make the Coldfire fully 68k compatible. It was, even  at several hundred mhz, little quicker than an 040.



Tbh given the relative performance of ARM processors, even just a single core A9 and have it run a full 68k jit would probably be quite a bit quicker than using any Coldfire.


UAE on a QSD 8250 runs TBL/Starstruck perfectly.

It would seem very bizarre if Gateway (or someone else along the line) transferred the IP with the *exception* of the OS.  That's an extraordinary claim -- requires extraordinary proof.  Anyone?


Is there any verifiable proof that Gateway transferred any IP at all to McEwen or his various shell companies?

Well, you might as well have asked: Is there any *proof* that the IP was transferred to Gateway in the first place?  Of course the documents exist.  Do you expect to find all such legal business documents on the internet?

So Gateway decided to hold onto the Amiga OS and kept it a secret?  What are you saying?


I'm not saying anything, I'm asking a question.

Put if you really want my opinion then I will say that McEwen has made many claims over the years and most have turned out to be lies.
