if most of the Amiga community does not show their appreciation for your work
..community not showing appreciation??? i wonder how possibly have you missed the feedback the project receives here, on a1k or particularly on eab. these are most popular and lively threads. okay, there are some unrealistic wishes and a little bragging as always, there are different strong opinions, but mostly if there is criticism, its a constructive one, people, especially the knowledganle ones, take this project definitely serious, just dont want it to be in vain.
It just seems a shame that so much work went into the Natami MX motherboard design, and it seemed to be so close to being completed enough to be released to the public for sale
natami was initially a private one-man hardware project. it doesnt look like there ever was a plan how to build this hardware in numbers, distribute it and handle support. it may have been advanced as a prototype but releasing it is the whole other issue.
I see it as no different than my X1000 and AmigaOS4.x, which is still a WIP, while we wait for AmigaOS4.2 to be completed, with the many major design goals that are planned and being worked on.
it is completely different in my eyes, starting with the amount of funds involved, the experienced companies and the distribution channels involved in it. and exactly here it shows that even such entities may get over challenged by the complexity of such projects.
