Old dog, new tech - possible?

If you want a "modern Amiga" for mainly retro use then it you should be aware that the guys behind the Apollo Core/Vampire accelerators plan to have a stand alone board next year. Individual Computers also plan to release an A1200 Reloaded board but that may be further off as apparently work on it isn't starting until the new year (1 year behind the original schedule).

I don't know much about "classic" integration on new OS4 machines but it does involve emulation as they lack the 680x0 processor and chipset of "classic" Amigas.

Isn't that exactly what he doesn't want, Amiga Forever (WinUAE+ROMs/Software) emulation and with the added complication of PPC emulation for OS4.

TCP/IP, WiFi and USB mouse support is pretty universal no matter what platform you choose. Although WiFi and USB mouse may be a little less plug n play on some, needing more manual configuration.or add-ons for WiFi/USB.
