I'm watching the J-Core project, which has resurrected the Hitachi SuperH SH3/SH4 architecture as the patents expire, and should have a fully fleshed 64-bit RISC system out in a couple of years. At that point, you'll have reasonably modern, general-purpose computing with no blackbox hardware/firmware/software subsystems whatsoever. http://j-core.org/ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
