to sum it up

I'm not interested in use hardware that changes amiga into mouse, keyboard, joystick
interface for rpi.
Amiga keyboard is heavy and take too much space,
and is not comfortable as today made keyboards for pc.
Amiga mouse and keyboard were copied 40 years ago from pc.
It is nothing special. No reason to use it.
It is stupid to use pistorm. Just use rpi.
cheaper, better, more comfortable.

I'm not interested in using emulator on rpi.
It gives nothing. It is waste of time.
All software that I need is already on linux on rpi.
Also linux on rpi already have decent webbrowser, decent drivers with vulkan.

amiga 68k. It was nice.
I have nothing against amiga 68k but it is still not enough.
real 68k amiga is still not as good as my first pc from 1996.

@ppcamiga1

So we could say the same regarding blizzard PPC bvision or any other accelerator for that matter. It still surprises me that you don't understand the basic of computers let alone Amiga.

It's as stupid using Pistorm as any other Amiga 1200 accelerator I guess, the fact this piece of hardware has other functions seems to break your concept of reality, that people have chosen to use it to augment an Amiga simply breaks you a part, which... For an Amiga aficionado is really a sad thing to see.

@ppcamiga1

IBM lacks Raspberry Pi's low-cost innovation.

One of Raspberry Pi's manufacturing contractors is Sony UK.

In terms of mass production, Sony >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IBM. Sony wasn't stupid enough to continue with IBM's PowerPC.

IBM sold its consumer PC division to Lenovo.

For Emu68, C= Amiga Autoconfig still governs bare-metal PRi.

Emu68 reconfigures PRi for C= Amiga AutoConfig's plug-n-play expectation.

Unlike UAE, Emu68's Broadcom VideoCore is a real graphics driver for C= AmigaOS.

Unlike UAE, Emu68's WiFi is a real Pi Wi-Fi driver for C= AmigaOS.

UAE is not bare metal and C= Amiga Autoconfig doesn't govern the host hardware.

So why do you use “Amiga”?

I believe they sold everything PC (as in everything x86) to Lenovo, including servers. All IBM have left a are all either Z or POWER, running Linux, AIX and z/OS, z/VM etc. “mainframes”.

@ppcamiga1

My A3000 has a CSPPC/CVPPC.

The CPU is on the CSPPC
The RAM is on the CSPPC
The video output is on the CVPPC
The storage is on the CSPPC UW-SCSI

So what's used on the A3000 motherboard?
Well, the keyboard and mouse attach there.

And I have a DENEB Z3 card for, for USB and networking (to a pi heh), but... if there was a "pro" version of BlueSCSI with UW-SCSI capabilities/speeds, I'd happily move networking to that instead, and just remove the Deneb.

(btw, this A3000 has OS4FE and old MorpOS installed, but defaults to OS 3.2.2.1 with WarpUP)

I don't believe anything he says. Maybe he had an Amiga once and maybe he even had a Sam or something but I think he's just a bitter old nutcase who wants a working PPC again but is locked out due to availability and pricing. He claims to be a developer but he can't name a single thing he's ever developed, even just for personal use. He doesn't understand shit about specific limitations of the old hardware and think chunky pixels were the single dominant factor in the Amigas demise and not the countless other things hammering nails in the coffin. Chunky pixels didn't save Atari (Falcon) or Acorn (Archimedes / RiscPC).

Your reflection on your A3000 is similar to how I thought about my A1200 at the end, and I hadn't even replaced as much of the motherboard functionality as you had.

Apparently it's only bad when you replace it with ARM.

@Karlos

He has no problem with a processor as long as it is big indian, but then when the arm of Pistorm which is being used on big indian mode he still have problems with.

It's like ppcamiga1 is the Salvador Dali of Amiga argumentation

AxRT from Deadwood is is a full linux system using a amiga desktop like scalos as base and running both linux software (looking like amiga software) and aros software in one environment

ARM is a direct response to Commodore's crap 65xx CPU roadmap.
