Title: Amiga Wishlist
Post by: ElPolloDiabl on March 23, 2010, 01:23:06 PM
Post any sensible or crazy ideas you would like to see happen on an Amiga System (hardware, emulated, AROS or PPC).

I think that about 99.9% of the posts on this forum cover your request, and the bulk of them fall under 'crazy'.  ;)

PPC emulation built in to WinUAE, so you could run a hosted OS4.

Surely that would only boost OS4 sales.

X1000 Amiga must have included as standard:

Java/Javascript Support
Wireless Support
Web Browser comparable to Safari or Firefox (with CSS support!)
Flash/Air Support
Massive commitment for porting Open Office and other top apps
Email Client
A roadmap for supporting HTML 5.0
At least a 1.5 Ghz Processor
Cool short TV Adverts - "I'm an Amiga" - "Amiga vs PC" - "Bouncing Balls"
Extensive developer interest from teams people like me have actually heard of
Extensive graphically-rich user interface (move away from existing colour scheme) and supply desktop 'themes'.
Eg. this is exactly how the wallpaper, interface and dock should look:

AROS Kickstart bounty finished followed by work to make it 1.3 compatible so that we can completely have an IP free Amiga classic.

An AGA expansion card for ECS/OCS Amigas.
Plug in FPGA soft 68k CPU replacements.

Since we're hoping, wishing and praying... I'd like a completed GB1000 board for reasonable someday.

Something really innovative and new, that has a wow factor, like Amiga was in 1985.  Sadly this is crazy thinking....

Shakira real doll...

oh sorry wrong Amiga system

Ummm A working system with backwards compatibility to AGA with the use of the fasted desktop CPU's out there.

I guess an evolved version of Amithlon with full AGA/ECS emulation either via software or hardware.

I'd be happy with a hybrid Amithlon/UAE setup that boots off of linux or directly into workbench on either standard PCs or selected motherboard componenets with support for the following:

Fastest Intel CPU
Modern Nvidia PCIE cards
SATA
Lotsa RAM
USB 1, 3
Firewire
ESATA
wireless N
etc.

1. Minimig on a PCIe board w/ native support in AROS x86 (incl. 68k emulation)
2. AGA support in Minimig
3. support for Amiga floppy disks(!) with standard PC drives on the Minimig board (so much easier to read in all those heaps) ;)

Actually I'm a fan of the EFIX bios solultion.
I'd like to be able to install Amiga os onto a SATA drive via an adapter and seamleasy boot into Amiga os the same way I can chose Windows or Mac on a system.

A "hostile software porter" that would run on an peecee, and when pointed at one of your installed programs, would analyze it, and produce an Amiga executable from it. ;-) Now *that's* crazy. ;-)

I'd also like to see a generic I/O board, sort of like a clock port on steroids, that could host a bunch of the modules sold for use with imbedded controllers... things like the vinculum USB host/mp3 board, TCP/IP controllers, and so on...

A cheap USB Amiga compatible floppy disk that I can attach to my PC so I can play my old games in UAE and have access to all my old song/sample disks too.
