Atari Coldfire Project
The Atari Coldfire Project (ACP) is a volunteer project that has created a modern Atari ST computer clone called the FireBee.
A new clone named Phenix never made it to market in final form.
The specifications for the ACP have changed considerably over time, in response to advancing technology and price considerations. However, it seems the following will be in the final design according to former Atari Coldfire Project homepage:
On the 8 MB ROM, FireBee devices have the following pre-installed software:
There's a ready to use FreeMiNT and GUI environment setup with applications ported to work on ColdFire which can be ordered on CompactFlash card with the device.
μClinux has also been ported to FireBee.
There are different strategies for dealing with the differences in ColdFire and 68K instruction set and opcodes:
FireBee FPGA doesn't yet provide DSP functionality which means that any Atari Falcon specific programs requiring DSP won't run. Many Falcon games and demos use it to play background music.
