This actually is move towards the possibility of an Amiga-version of the C1. A coldfire-based board with AROS, running OS 3.x applications natively would be really cool.

I'm dreaming, i know, but admit it would be cool! :-D

Well, there's this wee little detail of actually designing a Coldfire-board, making a Coldfire-version of AROS, make it trap the non-supported instructions (which would be limited to non-MMU, and possibly non-FPU applications),  and then write proper hardware drivers for the board, and any clones. But yes, it's doable.
