>AmigaOneX1000 with Natami expandability.

This has been discussed to death allready, just adding the chipset to a PPC computer will add 0.0 benefits but lots of unneeded costs and troubles. Adding a full Natami is even more pointless but if you insist, I'm sure you average E-ATX-tower will leave enough room to duct-tape the Natami somewhere on the inside.

>AmigaOS4 with MorphOS MUI

Just forget about TheName and simply use MorphOS...

>and DOpus Magellan menus and much more expandability.

There isn't much of Magellan you will be missing after getting into Ambient.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

And no imagine how fast the 603 on your Blizzard would be if it hadn't to drag that 040/060 around ... and more important, how much cheaper those cards could have been.

Having a chipset (OCS,AA or Natami) around in a nextgen-Amiga is pointless as pretty much all SW needing it runs better on a full UAE-setup, RTG-SW runs much faster on Radeons and even if you could put a chipset in there, the restriction on timing and addressing introduced to the whole system would be counterproductive.

Adding an 68k-CPU would make things even worse ....
