Hi, Just spent a while soldering the chips and most of the connectors to the accelerator card, It now looks like the mockup but it wont fall apart when you...
Hello, Not sure if you have covered this but here goes. A DIMM (SDRAM) is configured to the host processor by means of a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) ROM on...
Hi, ... Yep, I basically used the design from the Coldfire developers board, It also makes it idiot proof as it has an SDRam helper MUX which configures the...
Hello! It's good to see that the project is going well :-) will the boards include L2 cache? I'm not sure if the coldfire allows it...but the coldfire allows...
Hello James ... A bit more popular here :). Do you mean that L2 cache won't speedup coderun as much as it would be expensive with L2? (Sorry for bad English!) ...

That's pretty much the case. Since 90% of code execution time is in 10% of the code (thanks to loops) the larger you make a CPU's cache the less additional...
Hi, I know I have been a bit quite, Its partly because of Christmas, Partly because I`m still working :( So how is the prototype going I here you ask, Well I...

Hello, ... Ahh. When do you finish work then? ... It should work fine. I've had chips fitted backwards, get very hot then work when put on correctly. ... If...
Merry christmas toi all.

Best wishes

Hi, ... I have not even thought about it, I guess the first batch of each card would be divided up into developers (1st), Magazine reviewers (2nd), Pre-ordered...
Hi, ... Well thats the fun of a family business, We are open on Christmas eve and boxing day, Wether I will be there depends on how cold it is ;) I know for...

Hi, Happy new year, I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I sure did. Anyway all thats finished with now and I am back to working on the card, First for the...
Hi, This is just a little update to say that the first major error in the prototype`s design has been found,The whole of the SDRam interface is incorrect and...
Meaning without special chips, roms, etc, but with PCI-slots? every one have some kind of amiga, where to take roms. Those special chips are not needed...
... I would say to do this you need a host system running an emulator like uae. The AmigaOS [< 3.9] needs the customs chips. It would not run native on a new ...
This is what I was originally looking at doing when I looked into a Coldfire Amiga. Actually, it was to be an ATX mobo. It's very possible but without a...
Hi, ... Without the custom chips I wouldnt like to try, It woudl mean a total kickstart rewrite like on the Draco and it would be limited to modern RTG...
Hi, ... If you were not going to use the custom chips like he said then yes, a UAE type emulator would have to be loaded first and then the kickstart would run...
Hi, ... The supervisor stack is not the main problem and an easy one to overcome, The custom chips which would need emulating would be the real hit but your...
... <snip> ... <snip> LOL, wouldn't that qualify as "several"? BTW, I'd really like to see a PortAsm/emulation package that supports the V4e or V5 core. Ok, if...
Hi, ... Well I bet there are 4 differences between the 68020 and 060 :) ... Yep, It would be nice, A V4e or V5 would be nice too ;) ... It would run without...
