I am aware of money restrictions and so forth but I would have prefered the Amiga to make it's own hardware that was unlike anything else on the market, for example, a design of Zorro 4 slots to run Amiga only peripherals.


To achieve what? Having a custom interface that will probably run expensive add-on cards at much lower speeds than the competition (PCI, PCI-X, PCI-express)? This sounds like "I want to be different just for the sake of it!". The days of the 80's have passed for good. What chances does a company have to penetrate the market if the supporting hardware is:
1) Custom built
2) Expensive
3) From companies that don't have the financial resources to offer serious support (cyberstormPPC anyone?).
The new Megadeth album rules!
