The TALOS II from Raptor Systems is Interesting

This thread is generally dead, so the continuation is taking place in this thread here, as well as general POWER and PowerPC discussion.

The POWER and PowerPC General Discussion / News Thread CPU

I have found a friend! Well, a few friends. This thread is going to be dedicated to a general continuation of the following thread. Discussion will include TALOS ][, HPC hardware and news, POWER based workstations, PowerPC projects of both the IBM AND FreeScale variety, Linux and BSD news [as well as other OS’s that may or may not run on these, VM testing, ETC], software listing, and general discussion about the hardware. Going off topic too far will be stomped. I don’t need another Devilzzz crushout of a thread for fucks sake. Any concurrent news about the Talos ][ can be found in the above listed thread. I will ask @wolfleben to lock that thread as it is just dragging itself along and I’m sure he’s itching for his fix right about now (srsly see a doctor dude we’re worried about you lol). At the moment I am working on Java for PowerPC 7445A/A1’s and trying to get a PowerPC 970FX OR MD tower. I’m listing the processors, not the mac’s, because the hardware is what I see as important. I can keep all who are interested updated if they like, but eventually I’ll have an installer for java 6, 7, and possibly 8 for OS X leopard, or at least that is the plan. In other news, the Talos ][ appears to have some eyes on it from the linux foundation according to Jupiter Broadcasting’s friends in the Discord / Mumble room during one of the last Linux Unplugged’s (either the last one or the time before that one). VERY exciting I think. I can’t wait, personally, to see who snags one. Though, I do wish the Talos ][ would just get released on POWER8. Seems like 9 might be a public chip though so fuck it :U

Thank you for being interested.

Mentioned about locking this, but I’ll just leave it open in case anything relevant comes up for this thread.

I made the other thread to both continue this one, and have other news as well (new freescale chips soon!!!). This one is just getting long in the tooth is all.

In that case I’ll close this for now.
