An ATARI Falcon clone using the ColdFire m5474 µC and an FPGA. +See here: http://firebee.org + +The original FireBee distribution comes with "original" BaS - a minimal fimware coded in C and +assembler using the FreeScale CodeWarrior development environment. Original BaS implements the minimal +functionality to boot up FireTOS (which is a patched original Falcon TOS). + +The FireBee can also run EmuTOS (see http://emutos.sourceforge.net), a completely free and open source TOS. +Contrary to FireTOS (that contains an m68k emulation to emulate a "traditional" m68k chip), EmuTOS is available as native ColdFire implementation. + +BaS_gcc aims to fully support native EmuTOS + native FreeMiNT on the FireBee.
