I couldn't access the "Tempest"-page earlier today, but I had a look at it
now. So you're using a Coldfire-CPU? Cool enough, but if you're moving
away from 68k-compatibility why not go for a G3 or similar? What about a
75MHz 060 (expensive, but faster and more compatible than Coldfire) with a
350MHz G3 as co-processor? :-) A small task-switching kernel in the G3 and
some additions to MiNT and you have true multiprocessing.
The expected price is nice though, but will it include a VDI for a popular
and cheap AGP-card (e.g. the Matrox Productiva)?
