Crowds which are knowledgeable and well informed are always going to be tough. Cycle exact simulation/emulation was more important for the 68000 (and Atari) where CPU timing loops were sometimes used but this was less of a problem on the Amiga which was often synced to display timing. Most Amiga software developed after the 68020 came out is more robust and tolerant of CPU differences. Quote:
The biggest incompatibility of the Apollo core currently may be lack of standard (1200 and big box Amiga) connectors on accelerators. These connectors should allow FPGA accelerators to work with Jen's new motherboard. The most important incompatibility may be the strong, independent and proud personalities of Jens and Gunnar which seems to be having interfacing and communications problems. |

We seriously need some mods to split this thread - it's getting out of control

I don't understand, with all the talk about compatibility, and all the youtube videos, why is it so damn hard to produce some video that demonstrates the compatibility?! |

so is this a handicap? i thought it is a requirement to drag along a project. and as long as these personalities are able to reconsider it may even work its way.

These terms do not apply for computer products, everything is work in progress, nothing is ever really finished products. But, from what you are saying, can one assume that all features we have been told about for Apollo core, so far are just "goals" and not actually implemented?

BTW: your question is a splendid example of what I call "binary thinking": it's not completed, this must mean nothing has been done yet. |

Not really, just that all the features that are "promised" are not at all guaranteed to become reality, a little bit of moderation when announcing features would be very much in order. The way Gunnar announces things, it sounds like everything is already implemented, which typically is not at all the case. Also, a little acknowledgement for what other people have accomplished would not hurt.

He can get carried away. It didn't help the Natami project when he would do that. Does anyone else feel like PMing "Just finish the fuggin' CPU core, dude"? |

Just wondering what's the state of the mentioned network addon? It refers to an ACA500 network addon, but as far as I know there is none available?

Jens,
I have a request, not sure if it's already been covered in this thread. How about adding a MIDI output? It should be cheap and easy to do and would be very useful. |

Interesting idea, but seeing his previous arguments, he's not a big fan of adding stuff only *some* ppl will appreciate. (But hey, it worked pretty well for Atari back in the day ;-)

Most people will not care about MIDI and it is relatively simple to build such an interface and connect to the parallel port.
