Falcon 060 100mhz vs A1200 030 50mhz
« on: March 07, 2014, 02:29:55 PM »
I saw this come over in an email thread as I am subscribed to the m68k Debian mailing list and thought it was very interesting

https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2014/03/msg00001.html

There are clear architecture differences between the platforms, but I though it was worth sharing.

Interesting...
I guess the problem of the poor Falcon performance is the lack of 68k developers for linux that have access to such obscure Falcon hardware.

Apparently it is an old discussion around linux and memory management with both platforms. Apparently there is a lack of resource for those that know both the specifics about memory mapping and linux to support the effort of bringing it up to speed.

Still incredible to see a modern OS on such classic hardware. Well, as modern as m68k linux can be that is at this point.
