I am currently negotiating with Hyperion to provide a new amiga motherboard or using an existing or brand new design.
I want Hyperion to eliminate the need for a ROM, or I'll have to add a new one to the board design. This will slow things down.  However, flash ROM won't be much of a problem.
I want to use a dual core set-up.

Hyperion was foolish to make it one board specific.
They now say on their website that they will work with you to port the OS to a new chip if necessary. I was thinking of AMD. The chips are well supported and have a future.

Why waste your time and resources? You may as well throw your money into the fireplace, the Amiga is dead, end of story.

Better go for Pegasos.

Yeah, that makes sense :roll:

Next time try and come up with a viable solution.

Wow, your enthusiasm for the Amiga is overwhelming.  

Sorry if my realistic appraisal of the situation offended you, but someone has to have the balls to say it. If we were talking about a classic rebuild, eg. Minimig, then I'm all for it, but these "new" Amiga's share nothing with the classics I enjoyed during the early-mid 90's.

Maybe you never used much the OS... :roll:

You mean OS2.x/3.x yes, I used them for many years, OS4, no, why would I bother? No modern web browser, no modern games, no...ah I'm wasting valuable energy now, this has all been covered many times before.

If we all had your attitude this forum wouldn't exist.

Ummm, yes this forum would exist, as the classic user ratio far outweighs the OS4 user ratio.

Do you think of the Amiga as anything other than a retro games machine?

Yes, it was a games machine then and its a games machine now.

FCOL man we need progress and whilst we sometimes get frustrated waiting,

I'm not waiting for anything, already got all the Amiga's I want.

to come to the conclusion that only "classic rebuilds" like minimig are worth support whilst slating attempts at real progress make my blood boil.

Better calm down, you might explode ;-)

As all my friends know I like my blood warm so unless you've got something constructive to add......no I thought not.

I've added far more constructive content to this thread than you.

Perhaps you should use your oh so bl**dy valuable energy to code something modern for OS4. Then again...why bother.

Exactly, why bother, I'd rather spend my time on something that will actually generate an income.


Forgive my rather direct reply, but I give what I get and I never like to sugar-coat anything.
