Gosh, it seems developing new hardware from scratch using modern components that then implements a radically new OS (but remarkable backward compatible with an older one) seems expensive. What happened to the old days when I could just hook my slide rule to my dot-matrix printer and play retro games from the 1980's?
But Golly, although Trevor met recently with Acube at the end of last year, Acube has not had any motherboards for sale for a long while nor loudly declared their Future Directions; A-Eon seems to be sole gun slinger on the street with active development and shipping product(s). While others say this-n-that about random OS's emulating the Amiga OS, OS4.1 feels and works just like the original (minus the patchwork of, well hell, "patches" that makes up OS3.9). I'm no judge having only used the AOS since 1986 with vastly updated V1.1, but OS4.1, well it just "feels" that way, and all my old IconX scripts work as well or better on OS4.1. IMHO, OS4.1 is solid, fast, cohesive, and beautiful; adding in Python, Ghostscript, backward compatibility, and a responsive development team.
As Adrian Monk says, "I could be wrong now." Or was that Randy Newman?
