New Amiga Motherboard

[Fester]

I'd "want" to buy one.

I'd consider support issues first.
I'd also consider price.

Not enough information. I would be leaning towards NO based on the lack of details. However, if the price was cheap enough (LOL!!) and some developers were jumping on board I might consider it in a moment of weakness.

I think I'd prefer the ACube solution, even if only cos of the onboard gfx, but its really not relevant to me until my A1 goes the way of all things, and I need somewhere to run OS4.

At the moment I am waiting on a $99 Efika/MOS2.0 bundle, I'd buy a couple :-D

and thats about as likely as G Dubya B getting into Mensa...

-edit- although it might be fun to get one anyway to try and build an Amiga based PVR... ;-)

Maybe, depends on price/specs. Reading the specs of the ACK low-end design made me think, if it was quick enough to play a DVD or some other video streams properly it might not be so bad, just in case.

I'll buy about 50-60 pieces ... For real..!!! And then in a year or 2 sell them for twice the price I bought them *LOL* ... That's how to make business with the Amiga :-p *LOL*

ok ok...

I would buy one...!

No.

Why do you want to know?

I'm not at liberty to discuss that.  ;-)  Seriously, I don't want to make any promises, if I can't quarantee I can keep them.

[zyphoid]

honestly I would and suffer the consequences if there were any,but to be frank, I'm waiting on the the first compatible product with the OS or without that hit the market!! :idea:

[ravnen]

I would buy one, because I like weird hardware

[RRunner]

If it came bundled with OS4, I would consider it depending on support issues etc.

[koaftder]

I might buy one just to whore it on ebay 5 years from now.

[Homer]

I'll buy one if it is Mil spec.  :lol:

[Jose]

I don't trust AInc.'s plans for AmigaOS or their competence to develop it (hired developers in India ? Yeah right...). So the answer is...

[B00tDisk]

Hell no.  A 400mhz machine running a barely-capable OS with a decade-old display card that would chug trying to play back DVDs, with no appreciable apps?

Lemme tell you - I'd take it off Amiga, Inc's hands out of pity, for free.  

[McVenco]

I'm not considering buying one, simply because I can get way better for the spare money that I have.

I would only buy a new Amiga if it were some sort of a "revolutionary" machine. Now that word can be filled in with lots of things, but I absolutely have no special feeling with this new Amiga motherbaord.

Now if they would make a beautiful case for it, true to the Amiga heritage (did somebody say Walker?), plus some nice things like the old Amiga 1200 Magic Pack, THEN I think it really has something. But not if it's just a dull green board in a dull grey/black/blue case.

I need to know.  :idea:

I need to know more about what it will alow me to do that I cant do on my PC or for that matter My A4000.
If it came with OS4 and the price was good then yes.

@Methuselas

Not to start anything but, here on A.O you imply a pertnership between A-Inc. and ACube. On AW.net you do not.

First announcements went like this; A-Inc./ACK & Hyperion/ACube. How many different directions can this circle jerk go?

Or, was that a typo?   ;-)

[ravnen]

If it came looking like this:



I would buy it even if it was a 68k cpu
