NatAmi seems to be proprietary design, full ATX form and supports also ECS and AGA!

It features also CPU Slot and PCI card slots...

Isn't that C=1?

It is equipped with 68030 CPU

This card?

Early version running

I also find some of the comments somewhat weird, for example:

The TRUECOLOR mode is not an extra GFX card - No you open these modes just like the other orignal modes were used with the "normal" DFFxxx Amiga registers.
And the copper can fully work with those modes too!
You can drag these new screen modes down just naturally.

How exactly is this supposed to work as the OS does not have any support for these truecolor modes?

Similarily I find it a bit hard to believe this 16-bit audio would just work out of the box...

You can't just add new HW features and assume old OS to support those out of the box. You need SW support, too.

It's a nice project yes, but I think some people are loading it with too much expectations and hype.
