How about creating a Open AMIGA Consortium?

What's wrong with MiniMig, NetAmi and CloneA?

We also need a reverse engineered operating system.

We already have one... AROS...

Then we can forget amiga inc.

We already can. I already do.

these are product names, we need a common brand name, as MSX or PC was.

We also need a reverse engineered operating system.

Fair enough but is there a 68k version?

Do I need to mention that OEM's will not be allowed to use the amiga name at any price.

Does aros offer better features than os4

Probably would run into trouble with the latin equivalent of Amica and the latin plural Amicae, perhaps some variation of Amare "to love", of course that was tried by the evil Amino... :pissed:

Doesn't really matter! You can still call it Amiga compatible... MiniMig with a 68k build of AROS would be just such a machine...

I don't know, I've only every used AROS... AROS does have a few features better than OS4... Hardware independence and open source and a modern web browser...

Call it 'Excellentia' or some other new name..
(Because Amiga in my book was about technical excellence at a economical price)

'Comes comitis'.. 'Duco virtus'..
('Companion friend', 'to calculate excellence')

Or 'BillSucky' or 'BillSuckInk', for those that like the revenge approach :-)

I like Amicae, when people understand what it means, it will be evocative of a family of different machines which are amiga compatible.

Does anyone here care to make a Wikipedia entry?

i propose Amigan its close enough and it describes what it is

[John_1]

Sounds good. For an open consortium we`ll need open software.
Dennis decission to release the Minimig as open source was a real good one! When will the Natami source code and schematics be released?
