It's all about the software. Hardware, as much of a pain as it is to get right, is just 1 tenth of the solution in this situation. aperez seems to be looking to not re-invent the wheel as much as possible.

It's a software issue. Amigaland is a different ballgame than c64 land.

The Amiga is a multitasker that shares resources in a hierarchy of common protocols, the c64 isn't. Interfacing stuff to hardware isn't hard, doing useful stuff with hardware in a layered software stack is.
