Oh absolutely. It’s my all time favorite computer. I owe my career in tech to that little wonder machine.

In late 1992, coming from an A500, it was the best bang for buck that I could afford at the time. Little did I know that the cutdown creative workstation was going to shape my digital thinking for decades to come.

For a very low budget, I was outdoing PC compatibles and Macs at double the price. I was titling and beautifying family home videos on VHS with a Genlock. Doing basic monochrome DTP of brochures, pamphlets, and business cards with Final Copy II + Art Expression and a HP LaserJet 4MP (later with Final Writer), my brother also managed to avoid spending $1,000+ on specialized vinyl cutting software by using Art Expression and a free HPGL printer driver, it was the first computer I connected to the internet in 1995 (1h per day), I developed my first HTML pages for internal use at a company I was working at in 1996 which set in motion the web development portion of my career. Then came color inkjet printing with the Canon BubbleJet BJC-600, the first CD burner I got (Yamaha 2x which with a simple hack can be modded to do 4x) was attached to the A1200 via the Blizzard 1230 + SCSI II.

For a while there, no matter what was happening in the world of computing this little machine could also do it, despite Commodore disappearing off the face of the Earth.
No other single computer, and I have had many since then, lasted as long or done as much.

I remember when I was living in Yugoslavia in the ‘80s, computers were very expensive, especially business machines. So home computers from Commodore/Atari/Amstrad/Sinclair were more palatable but still not exactly cheep. If my dad wasn’t working in Australia, I don’t think I’d ever have had the C64 and later the A500.

And you did do miracles: you ran the CPU (that never existed!) at 400MHz in an FPGA - an FPGA model which can barely reach 100 Mhz. You connected 4 times wider memory then the FPGA physically supports. You made a website advertising this new Amiga. You ran this hoax for several years. You even gave interviews to naive newspapers talking about all your lies. You claim you invented a better x86 than Intel. You claim that you invented a new 68K CPU. You try to make people believe you are an Amiga coder. You lied to Amiga people so many times. Cesare Di Mauro, this is you: You work for BMW and you live in Germany Neu-Ulm. I think you have some mental insanity and you lied to people for much to long. I want you today to stop lying to the people here.

Another clear example that you entered Goebbles' Propaganda of lies mode: repeating the same things several times, so that people might be forced thing that what you says is true.

Again, above I've provided links to the discussion where I dismantled your pure lies one by one.

One thing that I've to highlight it that you should suffer of some disease like functional illiteracy, because you're not able to understand what people say.

In fact, I never claimed to have created a new 68k architecture and neither I've invented an new x86 CPU. I don't know what mental contortionisms have brough to those conclusion from what I've written here, but it's certainly NOT true and it's a pure invention of your not-working-so-well mind.

However and since your started again playing dirty, I'm starting paying you with the same coin, with sensible difference that I'll report TRUE things and not PURE LIES like you're used.

Let's talk again your FALSE statements about the 68080.

Dear Gunnar-the-master-of-lies, could you please give answers to the following questions?

I see this on your web site: http://apollo-core.com/index.htm
Back in the 80s, Motorola was leading the market with his 680x0 CISC processors range, selling it to big companies like HP, Apple, Atari, Commodore, NeXT, SEGA and others.
Today, 680x0 is still used by industrial machines, planes industry, cars vendors and is still used by retrocomputing fans around the world.

Apollo Core 68080 is the natural and modern evolution of latest 68000 processors. It's 100% code compatible

Here it's clearly seen that you're generically talking about the Motorola's 68k processor family. Could you show tell how you can claim that it's "100% code compatible" we know that it's missing instructions and features? Why are you lying to people reporting FALSE and MISLEADING statements?

We can also see the same reported on the following page: http://apollo-core.com/index.htm?page=features
Apollo Core 68080 is not only the fastest 68000 series CPU ever, it also is the most fully featured.

Feature 68000 68020 68030 68040 68060 AC 68080
68 ISA
As we can see, all such 68k ISA are reported in green colour an your 68080 as well, for which you claimed that its "most fully feautured".

We know that 68020 has CALLM/RTM instructions which you have NOT implemented.
We know that 68030 (not castrated versions like EC) provides a PMMU which you have NOT implemented.
We know that 68040 (not castrated versions like EC) provides a PMMU which you have NOT implemented.
We know that 68060 (not castrated versions like EC) provides a PMMU which you have NOT implemented.

How can you claim that your 68080 is the "most fully feautured" when it's lacking so many things? Why are you lying to people reporting FALSE and MISLEADING statements?

Going further, we see this on the same page:
64-Bit Support
Is the processor able to handle 64-bit addresses?
If yes, is the processor able to JUMP (JMP, JSR, RTS) to any 64-bit address?
Is the processor able to set vector exceptions handlers at 64-bit addresses?

And a bit down we can also see this:
Integrated FPU

Have you implemented the FULL 68k's FPUs instruction set?
Even the BCD instructions?
Are they fully implemented in hardware?
Or are some of them implemented in software?

Continuing, at the bottom of the page, we can see this:
Apollo Core 68080 advantages:
Market leading code density

Can you provide any proof of that? We know that the 68k's code density is great, but how can you claim that it's the lead in the market?
Can you provide any proof of that with 64-bit code (see above as well), so with code located at any 64-bit address, processor data registers processing 64-bit scalar operations?
Can you provide any proof of that with 32 and 64-bit code, with code using also the new data and address registers?

Finally, regarding this:
Fully pipelined, double/extended FPU
You've already reported several times that you're supporting only up to double precision for the FPU. Why are you lying to people reporting FALSE and MISLEADING statements?

OK, that should be enough. And since you started your propaganda of LIE, once you continue repeating the same LIES I'll copy & paste all the above which prove that you're a big liar and you're CHEATING your customers.

People should seriously think about suing you for having sold them a product with FALSE and MISLEADING information.

But then, I would also disagree with taking MMX and plugging it into 68K as AMMX, simply because it's built off Intel ideas Actually INTEL did not invent Vektor - they took a lot from HP SIMD MAX vector invention. (which coder also called MADMAX at the time) Intel was just good in their marketing of the ideas the took. While AMMX also has the three letters MMX in the name .. in reality AMMX is totally different than Intel MMX. AMMX has much more powerful instructions than INTEL MMX And with AMMX you can do a lot stuff that it impossible with INTEL MMX. But if you are not a programmer and dont know this ... then this might not be easy to for you to see... The general idea of Vector instructions is good. And every company uses this concept today. And all the Vector instructions have different features and strength and limitations. IBM calls it VMX Moto calls it Altivec ARM calls it NEON Intel calls it now SSE and there are many more names.. We call ours AMMX. AMMX is very strong for Video and GFX operations. As you might know myself and many of the Apollo worked at IBM in PowerPC development... So we know Altivec / VMX like the back of our hand ... And we tried with AMMX to make something much better to use for game coding than Altivec... And we did succeed AMMX is easy to use and perfect for games.

Those are NOT "vector" ISAs, but SIMD or packed ISAs, as it's reported in literature.

You claim to be a super expert on this area but you don't even know what are the correct terms.

Vector ISAs are completely different things, as I've already tried (without success, evidently) to tell you in the same old discussion:
https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=44169&forum=17&start=240&viewmode=flat&order=0#855433

As I've already said, even the pur Samurai Crow tried to explain the concept of vector ISAs, but he failed miserably. Now it's crystal clear that the problem is only about you, because you aren't able to understand it.

OK, now I expect another pile of lies from your side. As usual with you, since it's evident that you can't sustain the discussion and you aren't able to defend your 68080, so the only way that you've found is to discredit me. But I'll not allow to do it, of course.

Karlos wrote: @Gunnar Putting aside for a moment the fact you have a lot invested in the 68080, what are your thoughts around the idea of something like the SAGA paired with a PiStorm/CM4 type solution as the CPU?

Do you know why he hasn't answered to your question? Because it means killing his lucrative business.

In fact he can get out a lot of money from people selling his incredible super-68k CPU telling them: "oh, it's expensive because we need to use a so big FPGA". And "it's a real CPU, because we recreated the 68k circuits whereas PiStorm is pure emulation", so that people which have this psychological idea that "I need to touch the hardware. Emulation is not good" will have their dreamed toy.

However if he has to provide only the SAGA chipset, all this vanishes, because there are already big contenders (Minimig, MIST, etc.) on this area and which AFAIK provide better compatibility (kolla, can you finally do one useful thing in your life and provide a feedback about that?).

With PiStorm completely crashing his 68080 from performance perspective and limiting the business to only the chipset, you can understand yourself that Gunnar will loose his goose that laid the golden eggs.

And we know that he has no other job other than working on the 68080 and SAGA, as he reported on some interviews time ago. So, this business is his only business, and that's the reason he's also lying so loudly to defend it as much as he can.

@cdimauro

Cesare Di Mauro,

Fact is that you have a history of lying to Amiga people.

You made a website where you "advertised" a new Amiga.
This website was a 100% hoax
Nothing on it was true.


You posted technical details..
like number of FPAG used,
numbers of IO used,
like buswidth, and bandwidth numbers

Nothing of this was true.
All of this was hoax.
Most of these values were also with the used Chip technical impossible.
Everyone understanding the technology can see that this FPGA can never attach 128bit memory to it.
This is physically impossible ....
So your hoax was even totally bulllshit.



Cesare Di Mauro you are a Conman.
You are a liar.
And you are lying to the Amiga people since years.



Anyone interested can see your website on Archive.org
And anyone can see what fake lies you posted on this website.


You are very creative in "Faking" facts ...
Anyone looking at your linkedin profile can see your dishonest and "creative" look on your life
and how you live in fantasy world.
You live in an alternative reality to the rest of us.
A reality where you invented better X86 CPU than Intel, where you are developed a new Amiga ...

https://de.linkedin.com/in/cesare-di-mauro



Cesare Di Mauro, we all know that you are a fake.

Stop claiming stuff that is not true.
Stop telling people that you would be an Amiga coder.

If you want to be an Amiga coder,
then why don't you just write a Demo or write a program?
Then you could be a real Amiga coder!
Then you not need to spend time on faking your webprofile.

Get real Cesare Di Mauro,
stop faking, stop lying to the people.

Learn how to code and just do what you want people to believe you can.
Start coding and become a real Amiga developer!

@ALL


Why do you guys on Amigaworld accept Cesare Di Mauro here?

You all know that he is fake, a liar, a hoaxer.

You all know that he faked a lot stuff.


Why do you accept him here?
Why do you even talk to him?

At the least the other one disappeared after miserably trying the same censorship strategy.

They both tried and same and people should believe them and do what they say, only because "they are the (elected) ones".

In Italy we've a very famous movie where the main character (interpreted by a local legend: Alberto Sordi) behaves like that: "Il Marchese del Grillo".
One of his sentences is now strongly part of our culture and identify the character: "Mi dispiace, ma io so' io e voi non siete un cazzo!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL6t8BJ_7Gg

@OneTimer1

Even I can answer that, vampire is based around hardware banging (hardware registers), instead of software API’s, USB only works when you have multitasking, so unless a running UAE on top of another operating system you can't have it, but if everyone was writing system friendly programs, then of course you can have USB, but everyone here thinks that's stupid so, there won't be any USB in the vampire

So you two option software Emulation a with little emulation inaccuracy with USB,
or FPGA with high precision timing, without USB.

Converters exist, USB to 9pin joystick etc, devices like only work with joypads and joysticks, so is limited in its use. (And not everything might work, and some USB joysticks has strange button mappings)

The “what if� amiga computers, show their limitations in modern 3D, maximum bus speeds, and connectivity, already in 1993 it was understood, that hardware banging was incompatible with AHI sound and network, USB and number of other things that needs drivers.

What? Was this just a bunch of bullshit leading people on? your name is all over that site, so lets see it. where is the product?>???????

come one man back up your sites claims of this new project??????????

Frankly im sick of fake assholes like you lots of talk no action .

ether you are a liar or a crazy fuck, you tell me?

Despite the general lack of elementary logic (which looks very common here), I can only tell you that either you haven't read the links that I've already shared, or you haven't understood their content.

I think that the latter might be the case, since you haven't understood even simple sentences like these:

I wasn't the owner

I left the project already around 11 years ago

My English isn't so much complicated to understand and you don't need to a native speaker to get it.

However, and despite that, this hasn't stopped you to write a wall-of-total-non-sense.

Which basically confirms what I've already written to you before on a similar situation:

Unfortunately functional illiteracy seems to be a widespread disease...

Anyway, it's not my problem anymore: you've serious issues on your own and you've to deal with them.

That's exactly where we are. Thanks to things like the PiStorm we now have more CPU power than we know what to do with, so why not have some fun see what the original hardware is capable of without the CPU limitations? Isn't that the whole point? Sure it's cool to have the ability to do it now. But it's also redundant. The PiStorm offers RTG out of the box. So the HAM novelty wears off when you not only can have 16 bit modes to beat HAM6 but have 24 bit modes to beat HAM8. So there is doing it to be nostalgic because it uses an Amiga feature. And I admit a Workbench HAM hack would be cool to see. However, that's only if you treat the bitmap like a dumb framebuffer. Or even a dump framebuffer since you just dump all the pixels to it. So just a software rendered display device with no hardware acceleration. This is what Doom is on the Amiga, it dumbs down the Amiga, because it just used old fashioned software rendering and didn't use any Amiga features. So running Doom an an Amiga is dumb. This all changes if you combine hardware features. HAM with copper and sprites. Now your talking. BOBs are a point of contention, since they used blitter, but CPU can shift data faster. At that point you have DOBs. Dumb OBjects. Or Dump OBjects even.

The motivation is to compare IBM's retro 1987 VGA against Commodore's retro 1985 OCS HAM6.

Using a Ghz out-of-order CPU minimizes the CPU factor in the retro graphics benchmark.

Amiga OCS HAM6 mode doesn't need a PiStorm-Emu68 level CPU performance to run Japanese laser disc video interactive game ports.

I came across this original discussion where John talks about using planar to write the Doom screen. Which is then misinterpreted as being [Amiga style] bit planar. I thought it was funny. https://groups.google.com/g/alt.games.doom/c/3tMB2UmEBK0/m/m1VR6LiJRQMJ In my experience, which is using an A4000/060, I found there was only about a 1-2 difference in frame rate. RTG was slightly faster. And in most cases, the screen needed rendering in fast RAM, then copying to the framebuffer for greater speed. Of course an 060 wasn't an average build back then. An 030 was more likely if that. Even with RTG, the framebuffer tended to be a linear pixel map. But VGA doesn't always use a linear layout since it's byte planar based. And Doom used VGA tricks for parallel pixel writes. So even RTG wouldn't be fully there. Since it really needed direct VGA access for most efficient rendering.

Subject: amiga doom

The amiga is not powerfull enough to run DOOM. It takes the full
speed of a 68040 to play the game properly even if you have a chunky
pixel mode in hardware. Having to convert to bit planes would kill
it even on the fastest amiga hardware, not to mention the effect it
would have on the majority of the amiga base.

John Carmack


For Amiga end-user retail experience;

1. 68060 for Amiga didn't arrive until sometime in 1995. 68040 socket accelerator cards are not the mass-produced baseline standard on the Amiga.

The CPU by itself is useless without a price-competitive platform.

2. Single slot Zorro III Amiga 1200+ type SKU wasn't created since there large price gap between baseline A1200 and A4000/030. The Amiga platform wasn't able to promote the economies of scale for the Zorro III install base.

What's needed was a CD32 type single small board with a Zorro III slot, 68040 socket, and Fast RAM.

PC SVGA chipsets have their legacy VGA modes. For the 1993 time period, Zorro II/III big-equipped Amigas has an EGS-28/24 Spectrum (Cirrus Logic GD5426 or GD 5428) RTG option. EGS-28/24 Spectrum wasn't low-cost like their PC GD5426 SVGA card counterparts due to economies of scale issues.

Newtek Video Toaster's 24-bit graphics capability did nothing for AmigaOS's general-purpose 24-bit graphics capability.

Adobe Premiere 4.0 Non-Linear Editing (NLE) is available for MacOS 68K, hence Shapeshifter/PiStorm Emu68 can still use it.

Amiga's existing NLE software needs a specific hardware add-on and it's not transferable to NG AmigaPPC, Amithlon, and WinUAE.

In the modern PC market, low-end and mid-range PC mATX motherboard comes with a single PEG slot (PCIe 16X lanes for graphics card). This use case is the same as the late 1990s single AGP slot for mass-production gaming PCs.

Apple delivered 68LC040 Mac Quadra 605 / Macintosh LC 475 / Macintosh Performa 475 for under $1000 USD in Q4 1993. Quadra for business, LC for education, and Performa for home.

Commodore's A4000/040 asking price is comical which is close to the no-name PC brand Pentium 60's asking price.

My family's Apple switch was very close in 1993.

Microsoft has done the Doom ports for Windows 3.1/Win32s/WinG (WinDoom.exe leak) and Windows 95's DirectDraw i.e. Doom 95. Microsoft made the gaming PC platform to be one of its major priorities.
