Clone-A demonstration successful, new Catweasel drivers, Breakpoint sponsoring

Maybe you missed the initial question to my reply?

Question:

As for expensive accellerator boards. I was thinking, ... they could design the new boards so that you can just drop a chip on it, as opposed to having to buy some expensive expansion board you know?

Answer:

We speak here of different generations of 68k CPU, like in PC world the different generations are not pin compatible. You can not stick a Core2Duo in a 486 motherboard.

So to speak: If there is a 68020 on the board, you can not make a drop in replacement with an 68060.

It's kind of fun, but what happened, did WinUAE stop working?

I don't see the need.  GRANTED...I don't need a need, if its really super cool fun, and maybe its getting close to that, but I would want to see something better than the original amiga....some kind of advance forward.

Actually... while I recall OS4 finally grew some UAE-type support [or just UAE?] to allow the use of particularly chipset-banging apps...

...hasn't there been some demand for the proverbial "chipset on a card" to support legacy apps with the software and [when the final MAI AmigaOnes were in production] hardware that exists right now?

If, say, this type of functionality was built into a Catweasel, you'd get your legacy floppy support, analog graphics and sound, and/or you could just plop a full Minimig (or equivalent) on a card with a readable framebuffer* and use that for your legacy compatibility on whatever platform you like.

It's easy to forget that the lack of the oft-promised Amiga-on-a-card (or classic chipset availability in general) was what complicated and held up all the previous NG hardware projects.  Of course, these days it's hard enough to find anyone who can even get a plain reference board into production, but this could finally make what we were supposed to see about 7 years ago possible.

My beef with UAE is that the only advanced and useful port (beyond classic gaming) is for Winblows ONLY, and as we all know, when you run ANYTHING on Winblows, you loose that Fluid experience that you get with WorkBench and BeOS.
It reminds me of what life would bave been like had Amiga used Celeron's as CPU's!

Too bad Amithlon couldn't run on this board. Seriously. a 2 Gig P4 or Athlon would scream on that board. Sure there's no chipset emulation, but it wouldn't need it, would it? Just slap an X86 chip on there, with a flash rom that holds the kernel for boot up?


Then again, I'm probably blowing smoke out of my @$$!  :-D

[XDelusion]

Too bad Amithlon isn't supported anymore. :/

Another great idea, ripped from the hands of the community by Amiga's new owners. Again this shows how much Love they have for us.
