Hyperion and their partners (lets be honest this is a team effort here) aren't going to to let you sell a machine emulating Amiga OS4 because...

1) The name.  You need to remove the name Amiga from it entirely unless you have a license to use the trademark.   Call it a Dedicated Emulated Station or something.

2) The strategic partnership agreement Hyperion has with ACube and A-Eon.  Hyperion's EULA most likely prevents it from being sold on non-approved hardware the same way Apple prevents Mac OSX from being sold on non-Macs.  Just look at Psystar: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/09/appeals-court-apple-can-continue-to-restrict-os-x-to-mac-hardware/
