Thats so wrong of you ....
Amiga 500, Amiga 600, Amiga 1200 was all custom based Amigas and they didnt cost too much at all.
OCS sold in millions, ECS was just a minor update, AGA was a medicore updated
the sold in 100.000s ..... how many new Amigas are you planning to sell to recoup
dev-costs ?
And don't forget that developing cutting-edge stuff was much much cheaper in the
1980s (budgets in a few millions) as it is today (100 million or more budgets).
The only halfway realistic approach would be doing it with programmable chips,
like the C=One, but that also means you will be atleast 4 years behind when compared
to "real" chips.
And it would still costs lots of money&time (how long has the C=One-project been going ?),
and would result in a system that is underpowerde by factor 10-20 both in GFX and CPU,
costing atleast 3 times as much (only mobo) as "normal" PCs.
Don't get me wrong, I would like such a system, but only as a toy, and there is a limit
to money I'm prepared to spend on such a toy.
Getting big companies into such a project is offcourse nothing other than an insane
daydream, so why don't YOU just start doing it in your past-time ?
Or are you just another one of those that rant&rave with lunatic ideas, but can't do
sh## themselves ?
