The info for you:
Name: Amiga 6000 (final first goal!)
CPU: PPC G3 600MHz
Why such a low aim ? Why not G4/5 or atleast one of the newer G3s
(which should be just as "easy" to get as the 600MHz models).
GFX chipset: PowerVR 2 or 3??
And how do you plan to get these ? And why not something a tad more modern ?
SOUND: Zorro3 soundcard boundled
Zorro3 is buggy, slow and expensive (both on mobo and card). And that could
actually be quote from Dave Haynie ....
Having Zorro may be nice, but please please only for legacy use.
PORTS: 2x STANDARD Amiga connectors,
You mean 9-pin joystick-ports ? Noone builds anything new for these, and if someone
really needs them he can build an adapter easily.
On the other side, if it only costs a few dimes ...
4x USB 2.0 for Amiga keyboard USB and more
SLOTS: 1x AGP, 3x PCI, 4x Zorro 3
Which means it will ge beyound ATX, and big-towers have been out of fashion for
years (and may I say "god riddance".
MEM: 2x DDR-RAM slots
But what I'm still missing here, is what you are targeting.
a) Something like the C=One, a cool toy for some (few) freaks, that everybody knows
will be completly outdated.
b) Something that is good enough to bring the Amiga back into normal stores.
a) means it gonna be a complete hobby-project, and you will find no big company
supporting you (beyond selling you some chips). You would have to work very very
hard to even get the basics working, and even a optimstic view would put this in an
>2 years timeframe.
b) means you would need atleast a multi-million $ budget, and good contacts.
