Would you really though? I mean, yet another 68k based processor in today's PPC world??? I dont think I would. I dont see how it can be that hard to take the PPC on a board similar to that of Apple's (or a clone, like PowerComputing) add a more amiga like firmware/bios; throw amiga os onto it and call it the AmigaOne or A5000 for that matter.

Maybe I am naive, but ignorance is bliss.

Someone here mentioned the Commodore One. I took a look at some information on it, and it doesnt seem very appealing for the near £200 price.

I just bought a complete Apple Mac 8550/132 inc monitor for £52, including delivery @£30 (it was a very heavy package). Thats based on a 132MHz 604 PPC Processor. It seems a pity similar performance for price cant be had with Amiga.
