Haven't seen anything about the ColdFusion
accellerator lately.

Anyone know how that project is going ??

Hi,

At first I thought you were talking about an old unproven science project and was thinking its easier to split water into hydrogen and oxygen,
if, you could figure out how to do it fast and efficiantly. But a quick google search led me to "cdtv.org.uk/coldfire". No news since October.

Hi,

Unfortunately not much really.  :-(
Well not much on the prototype, I have only been getting the odd bit of time here and there so I have been playing with some other designs, mainly the A1200 and A2000 designs, but these designs wont be made until the prototype is tested and proven to work but I am still confident it will.

I will continue on the prototype now the chaos of Christmas is out of the way   :-)

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year bash.

Hi Oli-hd,

Take all the time you need. PPC will never be for the 2000.
Good luck. I'm ready for it when it happens. Even if I have
an A1 by then.

Chris

PS: hope your Christmas was Great and wish a happy and
fruitfull new year

Chris

I'm curious (SP?), how much time have you spend on designing this ? Must have cost you a small fortune allready (time = money)..

Anyway, thnx for your effort.

Gezz I wouldnt like to think, the Motorola Dev board cost about £500 on its own and the last prototype cost a fortune (I doubt I'm gonna use them again), the thing to remember is I didnt have any of the needed bits and bobs so I had to go out and buy them, on the up side I probably havent spent £2k on the project yet which isnt bad for a hobby... I could have spent more modding a car with no trouble.

As for time... well Im not the fastest worker thats for sure but most nights I spend some time designing, I really should spend some more time on the actual prototype though. :-)

Hi Oliver,

nice to meet you here again :-)

I've a question in mind, from a while:

why have you begun the A1200/A2000 design, instead to work on the first CF-4000 prototype?

Sorry Olly but i can't understand why :-)

I know that people has asked to you even "the moon" bundled with your cards and you know how much me (personally and like Bitplane magazine) and some of us, beleive in you project.

IMHO should be better (for you too) to attempt to finish the CF4000 and see if it works on a real A4000 . . . .only my 2 cents :-)

Happy 2004 Oliver

Ciao

I am still working on the CF4000 prototype but it takes a while to set it up and pack it back away after so I only get to work on it when I have a couple of hours to work on it, the rest of the time I sit down and play around with a few designs which only takes a couple of seconds to load and close.
I actually worked on the CF4000 today but nothing to report.

Yep, I must get the CF4000 working, but when I cant work on it I work on the other designs... plus there are times when you just cant be bothered to do anything but sit and play on the computer.  :-D
