... Sure you can, scan your binary with a util that will warn about the existence of problem instructions. Patch the app before it's used. And hold on before...
Hello Oliver, Nice to have a “offical” response ;) ... Motorola provides some sort of reference design for interfacing a V3 Coldfire to an 68EC20 bus...
The EFIKA is a good board but like you say, not an Amiga. What about a Coldfire board interfacing to the Amiga chipset that will be present in Clone-A by Jens...
Hi, I am sorry that it has taken me this long to get back to you. I have been out of town for a few days. ... I would like to thank you for being 100% in on...
Hi, I am very sorry that I didn't email you back before this. I have been out of town for a few days. Anyway, it looks like Oliver has posted a message about...
Hi, ... Its completely impossible, not just impractical. Although the Amiga hunk format has seperate code and data sections, almost all 68k Amiga apps have...

... And doesn't this show the superiority of open-source software. Here we are with a legacy system full of proprietary software and no way to really move any...
Hi, I have been talking to some people who have worked with the Coldfire. From what they have said it is possible. They said that there is about 3 or 4 ways to...
Greetings all, Why not indeed. I agree with this thought. Even if it is a dream. We so need a new board with backwards compatibility for old Amiga software...
Hi, this talk of using x86 worries/scares me. one of the original strengths of the Amiga was not just the register capability of the 680x0 but also the...
... I never heard that either big-endian or little-endian was better. They are just different, and it is a minor nuisance matching them up. But Amiga did it...
... May I add MiniMig? ... Because Jens Schoenfeld is just not interested in a Coldfire card for the Amiga. I talked to him a bit (internet) and from what I...
... [rest of message trimmed off] I agree with everything you say, but in that nasty reality I reluctantly find myself inhibiting, there are no gazillioherz...
... Interesting document, but good luck finding it on freescale's site. Looks like they removed or archived it. I did find it elsewhere though. Has anyone else...
... I think the point is to make a fast accelerator that is mostly compatible with the Motorola 68K chip. The V4e may supply an opportunity to use a modern...
Hello void, ... What the hell are you talking about? A card with an x86 (or PPC) chip that boots a 68k emulator would make an excellent Amiga accelerator. It...
... There is absolutely no 68K code whatsoever in the X86...or PPC chip for that matter. The entire X86 architecture is alien to the amiga. The coldfire would...
... Yes, I would never have found it if Ian Stedman had not mentioned it in his design rationale for the Coldfusion Buslogic (Files Section). I think he mixed...
... Yes, we tend to let dogma cloud our judgement, even to the point of conjuring flawed logic, to support it. I recognise it well, since I'm still recovering...
Hello Jonny ... I would be perfectly happy to run an x86 or PPC based accelerator in an A4000, provided the price was reasonable and the CPU not too hot. ...
... Ah....hell maybe my grasp of english isn't that good. The point I keep trying to make is that....if I want an X86 that emulates an amiga....I could...
Hi, ... I would have to agree with this. Really, an x86 would only be an emulator (I guess that it would be fine if you wanted to run windows on your Amiga)....
