Nice.  However, the A500 has a 16-bit data bus and the BlizzardPPC uses a PowerPC 603e (64-bit bus) crippled to a 32-bit data bus.  The BlizzardPPC would be better suited for an A1200, A3000, or A4000.


It would be nice to see some PPC benchmarks comparing the A500 and A1200.

Now hopefully Jens make an ACA-CD32 so it can be tried with that too. :)

That would be a nice addition to MorphOS.
It would help a lot of programs run.
Along with the sound driver Xdelusion has asked for, it could give us an additional measure of compatibility.

Bounties anyone?

Well I hope one day RadeonHDs GPU will prove enough mature to emulate AGA :angel: Same goes for Paula and CIA on some sound chip, FPGA or XENA and would live happily ever after ...

+Mediator+Radeon would be a cool hack. :)


Or G-Rex + Voodoo.

If an ACA2000 is introduced this could get interesting.
With RTG could an A2000 run MorphOS or OS4?


I don't know if you heard about this.  Although getting the hardware is even more difficult than a BPPC.
