Report on DCE Repairs

[bloodline]

I do not believe so. You still need to boot the system with the Kickstart first, so you need the 680x0 CPU for that.

Ahh but, and Ralph is the best person to ask I guess, can the 68040 be switched off once the PPC has taken control? I know the 68060 has power management modes, does the 040 have these?

Hey Ron
  Good job with this whole DCE repair project. I think Amiga PPC board owners should be very thankful that Genesi took care of these matters for them. LIke all companies, resources are limited. This was a Community support effort by Genesi. Everyone here with the OT Amiga vs Genesi thing should give it a rest. Everyone knows what technology is more advanced, funded, and developed. The future is now!  Time will tell who is really carrying on the Amiga legacy.
  I have an Amiga 4000T PPC with every possible upgrade and OS 3.9. It seems slow and unstable compared to my Pegasos and MorphOS. I only turn on the 4000T for Video Toaster and old NTSC only software. The Pegasos computer is THE most exciting computer I've ever owned. And I have been using since the 8bit days!

 BTW THe answer to who made BASIC for Commodore is: NONE OTHER THAN MICROSOFT THEMSELVES - AND I HAVE A COPY OF IT WITH ORIGINAL MANUAL TO PROVE IT  :-D

You've won a guided tour at the DCE plant ;-)

AmigaOS was developed by the Commodore-Amiga team, only some parts of CAOS were behind schedual, so MetaComCo (some British company as you put it) grafted parts of the TripOS Kernel into AmigaOS, this became what is now known as the dos.library.

well... who cares about who made it? It turned out to be a damn good OS, and that is not just because of its name.

I still ask again, is AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 not a AmigaOS?

well, AROS, MorphOS and OS4 have all done away with the TripOS dos.library and implemented solutions that fit the AmigaOS design better.

AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 are IMHO just standadised AmigaOS3.1 hacks.

Jurassic Camper: Please.. don't blame me if you don't like the way
things happen in real world.

I only mentioned that those old PPC-turbos are no longer produceable
and the same people are not likely to make new ones. Tough luck
is, that They still happen to be only ones with proven tallent for
such job.

If you are willing to donate considerable amuont of cash... then
perhaps... I'm sure there are others who could do similar card. But it
would require serious investment and good sales. (100 ain't good)
