AmigaOne Alive?

TO Kathy Elliot

IMO the best way to avoid legal problem is buying Eyetech.

Is this possible?

If you want to use X86, it's better to use cheap X86 board with a PCI card or USB dongle for copyright protection.

Perhaps you can limit the support to certain chipset, certain video card etc.

Do you have any budget for promotion / marketing?

Is "Mystical Rose Technologies" a registered company in Canada / USA?

Possible options:

1. There is an exchangable CPU card with various type of CPU is VSPA from SiliconBandwidth / Panda / Rock City for Pentium II / 400 MHz in 1998.

"The Panda Project, Inc. Monday introduced the Rock City ST-400, the latest addition to its award-winning line of stylish Rock City personal computers. The Rock City ST-400 features an Intel 400MHz Pentium II Processor with MMX Technology, AGP support and 100MHz bus capability, at a base price of $2,595. Panda expects to introduce advanced Alpha-based models and upgradeable models of Rock City that incorporate VSPA and Compass technologies to extract additional performance at a very low price point in a small form factor."

2. Multicomputer standard from Ziatech / PICMG standard, but Ziatech was bought by Intel.

3. Perhaps you can use HTX bus/connector, because both AMD Opteron and PowerPC G5 support Hypertransport.

4. SlotServer technology.
