I don't think anyone is trying to say that the NatAmi is going to be comparable to any modern computer of the 21st Century.

I take it you haven't met Atheist?

Well there are always one or two exceptions to sanity here and there.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Classic Amiga motherboards are getting old and will not last forever. If NatAmi or CloneA could come out that would be awesome.

Then you obviously haven't done your homework on the NatAmi project.  The aim of NatAmi is to run almost all of the old "Classic" software natively at a faster speed than any real "Classic" Amiga ever did.

I don't know why you would claim that it is the "Most" vaporware product in Amiga history, when the developers of NatAmi have already demonstrated some of their hardware designs and also parts of their 3D software work.

I will admit that their goals are very ambitious, and they may never reach all of them, but even if they only accomplish half of what they are trying to do, it will be an improvement over the fastest "Classic" Amiga model and in that way it will be a step forward from those classic models, but retain most of the compatibility.

It is an interesting project for those people that would like to see what might have been possible if Commodore had been better at continuing development of the classic Amiga in 1988 to 1992, but I don't think anyone is trying to say that the NatAmi is going to be comparable to any modern computer of the 21st Century.

I think it is very interesting to watch and hope that it will be completed.

The idea and your speech can be nice but reality is reality, i called it vapourware because it is, Dennis van Weeren make the minimig with results not with a site with forum poorly updated, sorry but amigaworld is full of this projects and just some reality.

Voting for natami more than other real options its an error.

@kickstart

New old stock yes, but when were those A1200's made? Probably 1995-1996 time frame by Escom. I hope they last a long long time but who knows.

I've been 100% Ubuntu for quite a while now although, believe it or not, i do miss TuneNET & WookieChat.

I'd love to buy a kickarse Mobo combo for the latest AmigaOS if one gets released.

Until then.. Karmic Koala is up there !!

I'm hoping Natami will be done in the comming year, so it can replace my aging A1200T with Blizz PPC (040/25+603e 240 Mhz ppc).
The A1200T has broken down on me quite some times now in the past few years, strange enough the PPC card still works fine (one the frist phase5 cards!) :D
Amiga is addictive coz it is fun to use
