I don't want to write anything that discourages Gunnar from continuing his work on the 68k softcore, or Apollo boards, but wasn't it Gunnar and his many claims about Natami that created the rift between the original Natami developer (sorry I can't remember his name), and Gunnar's team that were working on the 68k softcore and maybe other parts?
Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought there were one or two people on the Natami team posting to the forums who were always making claims about the fantastic performance the Natami would eventually have, in advance of their work being finished. It seemed to me that these claims increased the pressure on the original Natami developer to expand the project beyond his original vision, which finally caused him to withdraw from, or shut down the project and to go work by himself on his ideas. Of course I have no knowledge what went on behind the scenes, or what really led to the breakup of the Natami team, only the Natami forums that I would scan from time to time.
If it was not Gunnar, I apologize for my bad memory. If it was Gunnar, no matter how brilliant he is at writing code, or designing hardware, I would strongly suggest that he waits until his product is actually selling to promote it with claims of fantastic performance increases.
The Amiga community has been let down too many times to be receptive to that kind of promotion by anyone for any product, sad as that may be. I still am open to anything happening in this community and believe that there are still many brilliant minds working on Amiga related projects. Unfortunately, there are a few who have more negative attitudes, and they post often to many different forum sites.
