Kiwi - a 68k Homebrew Computer

Loving the latest videos showing the GEM interface, I am surprised how responsive it is. Great work Simon.

Hi,

I do not believe the latest ones have been released, I checked the SVN and they do not appear on there.

Chris, really? I have found the Q40/Q60 on the net more than a decade ago. It was pretty impressive. And expensive... ;) I once had the idea of an ATX (or other standard form factors) PCB with a 68k and other stuff to build an 68k motherboard with ISA or even PCI bus. Well, in the end there is some...

That is very interesting, thanks for sharing.
I have come across the Q40 and Q60 before and infact according to information I found in the Q60 product information pdf, D & D systems are in the next village to where I live, I wonder if they still around.

yes I guess in reality when they talk about embedded systems they are talking about 150Mhz ARM based systems not 10Mhz Arduino

nothing serious, just tweaked a few of the examples in the simulator, there is one example running 12 indiviual tasks which makes me think it might be worth futher investigation when i get time and now they have released the filesystem and usbhost code its looking more interesting than when i played...

Micrium has now made this free to makers and hobbyist. I've been dabbling with it a little before using the ide68k as it has some examples of how to use it, it is an interesting thing to play with.

1) costs a total of 350-400 euro - true but its only an issue to you 2) has no good documentation - also true but then again google the spec sheets for the chips (you're just being lazy) 3) has no public repositories - true - but you only want to take the code for your project anway, Simon pointed y...

guys, i have a 68000 board with an eprom emulator at 1Mbit/sec, i can test whatever you want, but please, i do not want to use an other assembler, i have a gnu toolchain for m68k and a sierra C 68k (a pretty C compiler for Dos, it's a professional suite). have you also considered to use a project d...

MC68020/030 could be forced to work as 8bit bus device, so … it should be nice to realize an accelerator for kiwi, just putting the 030 on the 68008 socket guys, why don't to put a to of devices inside an fpga, and to use a real 68SEC000 @ 3.3V ? the pcb will be smaller, faster, and with more fun a...
