Please post your Amiga 2010 wish lists here.
Mine
10 TeraHertz OctaCore A5000 Quantum Computer with 64 gate array parallel processing. Of course it would have seamless UAE integration too.
Maybe even a fresh copy of Amiga OS 5.0.
Or even better, AmigaOne X-1000 shipping to all Amiga fans.
:)

Natami FTW!
-
1. An Amiga game with 3D enhanced graphics. Been waiting a long time to see the Amiga do good 3D.
2. Someone updating all the OCS software titles to AGA, and also updating AGA titles to 24 bit graphics.
3. A 68060@1Ghz with SATA controller on board.

I'll root for natami
-
A mobile device that I can take up from my pocket,
press one button, and it will holographically make a screen
infront of me, and ask me
What Total Chaos online gametype I want to play,
and then list the multiplayer games that are already going on
where there are open slots for me to join in,
and a "create a new game" option.
This device draws power from the Earths natural
electricity power that the iron core makes
with the magnetic field that is created
in relation to the magma floating around it.
So you wont need any batteries.

Plug-in-and-ready-to-go USB for A500.
-
This year will be the The Clone Wars
with minimig, natami and fpgaarcade.
If the fpgaarcade can be faster than my 68030 at 50mhz with AGA support and a very high degree of compatibility it will be a definite buy for me!
-
+1 For NATAMI. Oh and maybe some affordable NEW '060 accelerator for A1200 and well I'll take one for A500 too! And yes gimme few NEW cool games to play around please.
-
A1200 replacement motherboard with the following specs:
68060 @ 333Mhz with a socket for optional PPC
Onboard RTG (256mb+3D) with scandoubler/flickerfixer
Built-in SATA ports
Built-in Catweasel type floppy controller (Use any 1.44mb PC floppy drive as Amiga 1.76mb)
Built-in USB (1 internal + 3 external)
Built-in Lan
Built-in Wifi
Accepts standard laptop DDR2 memory which can be configured as either chipram or fastram through a new Early Start-up menu
All this which can fit in a standard A1200 case with very little modification of course :)

Oh man that was a very good one!!!

I'll say it again - AmigaOS for 68k in Public Domain!
-
New hardware with backwards os3.x compatibility would be the one for me.
Lets hope Natami delivers.

Is there a way to "fake" a cpu, say a 68060 through fpga (or whatever its called) and stick it on a new design pcb to make a cheap accelerator?
Is it possible to use old Pentium II chips in some way for cheap accelerator cards?
IIRC once upon a time there was (or was planned), some sort of Amiga accelerator which uses the CPU power etc.. of a PC to help accelerate the Amiga. I may be wrong.
-
Like kolla... my humble wish is to see important 68k software to go public... and then to be developed again.
-
MorphOS for PowerBooks.

Yes, in principle. Note that for instance the Minimig emulates a 68000 core (IIRC).

In principle you could do, but you'd probably be better off using a cheap and plentiful ARM or MIPS cpu, which would use significantly less power and be a great deal more capable.

There were bridge boards for big box amigas that had x86 cpus on them, hellishly expensive mind, but apparently quite usable. Is that what you mean?
-
I wouldn't mind a minimig AGA.
Also a replacement battery for my EeePC.

Same here (and I only mean Kickstart 1.x to be released as Freeware: no sources) but I doubt this will ever happen... People are so close-minded and ready to keep anything that may bring them a buck or two...
-
NEW HW(s)
- above 1Ghz
- GPGPU
SW (bundle)
- JAVA
- OpenOffice
- HollywoodSE
- SDK+CodebenchSE
- OpenGL
- OpenCL
- Firefox
- RetroSWPack (legal 68k AOS etc.)
New OS4 features
- public ROADMAP to SMP, MP, sandboxes, OpenCL etc..
- new HW support
- more ease of use
and if nothing else to do:
- xena for SAM
- first xorro I/O card
- peace between AmigalikeOS flavors :-P

No I think he meant something like the Siamese RTG only using CPU power.
The obvious problem would be Amiga side connector slowing everything down. Probably easier just to run UAE.
-
No more 'fighting' with other Amiga members......
:furious:

I agree it likely would slow everything else down. Be kind of cool though to have a minimig-aga on a pci-e/pci card though, eh?

A500 forever?
:)
-
A fully SMP, MP, mulit-user OS that reminded me of AOS with OEM accelerated 2D/3D graphics drivers. If it could run on in it's own user space on my next cellphone, even better.
-
A500 forever?
:)
Transferring stuff to the A500 is still a pain with a pile of faulty DD- floppies... :-P
Oh, almost forgot, still waiting for Indivision for the A4000T.
