Personally, I'd rather see a core duo accelerator with a ram boost and a JIT emulator, a la Amithlon. With the custom chip code removed, that sh!t flies. *THEN* we could also do away with the AROS 68K and just use the X86 code, with minimal updates (I assume here - I'm a graphic designer. I'm not a coder).

Wouldn't it be more prudent to build a new accelerator card that *WASN'T* a 68k, but something more modern? Seriously. All joking aside, our Miggy's aren't getting any younger and there's no way in hell most of us could afford a "new" amiga anyways. I like the Clone A and I really like the NatAmi, but I want something faster than a 68k. I understand that these engineers are working in their own time, doing something they love and want to do, but I can't afford the prices of all this new hardware for a hobby machine. That's why instead of buying a MiniMig, I just got (a free, no less) A500 that does all my retro needs, so far.

That's just me, though.

Someday, I'm going to win the lotto and when I do, it's on.  :lol:
