Hello JB ... the only one that i know is at: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/a4000_schematics.lha very poor in quality (IFF grabs), but quite usefull. Ciao <tsb>...

Hi again, AFAIK, the Coldfire V4 you're going to use has no built in FPU nor MMU. The missing MMU is not a big issue, but what about the FPU support? Is the...

Hello Don ... yes but it isn't an Amiga ;-) I'm speaking about Amiga Classic at 222 Mhz . . . . . .Amithlon/PC is an another platform! ... But it isn't an...

1. There is no software emulation of the FPU or MMU for the coldfire. 2. The MAC/EMAC does ***NOT*** replace an FPU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is much...
Hello amiga2060 ... That's why I am still with my A2000-2060/50 and I hope my waiting is worth while. All a3k and a4k models have PPC available but the old...
Hi, ... Yes, although nothing is at all fixed for the A2K version there are things I want to try, First PCI slots, I can get PCI chips and I have a scematic so...
Hi, ... Well if a V4e or V5 is available with an FPU and/or MMU I will use it but as it stands the "off the shelf Codlfire" does not have an FPU or MMU,...
