Natami is a great idea, after looking at a few photos of it, it seemed it was nearing some release point.
Then nothing for a long time, but I'm not disappointed. With most things Amiga I don't hold my breath anymore. If it does appear then that's great, but will just read things these days and go oh that interesting and carry on.
FPGA Acrade is were my money will most likely go. I'd love to buy it with the 060 daughter board all in one hit, but don't think that's going to be possible.
I could see it as a replacement for my A1200 one day.

Always said if I wont lotto (11mil this weekend) I'd like to invest in something Amiga. But winning is the hard part :-/

There are some very rich people in the world, worth billions. I'm sure a couple of million would go unnoticed to them, just they have no interest.
I could do with a million for my personal life ;-)

Quite the contrary I believe. Most wealthy people (who have generated their own wealth - not just "won" it) are wealthy because they value a $...or a million$'s. They don't just "not care where it goes" :D

That's very true about people who have made the money on their own, but I'm sure there are a few people who have fallen into money "won it" somehow. ;-)

"they have no interest", as you say. If only there was a wealthy potential investor who could see a modern day rebirth of the Amiga, and who is interested in doing so, and actually DOES IT. Kind of like Trevor Dickinson

This is the hard part getting them interested again, when I mention the Amiga at work I get weird looks. I also notice the Amiga is often removed from computer history. So not sure why the Amiga is getting such a bad rep.

Thing is, given there are now 85 trillion variations of the Amiga, with it's carcass spread across all kinds of interpretations, it would be extremely difficult to bring it all together to monopolise on one particular variation of it - and at the same time legally limit every other incarnation possible. Which to me would be necessary to succeed.

This is the other thing that is hard, no one path. Should I spend money on this or that, in the end I just spent it on my classic was easier. But with the FPGA arcade I'm think that might make a nice replacement for my A1200.

The Natami IS the S*&T!

I for one would abso-friggin-lutely love to see the Natami finished!

It was so close, there is hardware somewhere after viewing pictures of it. But like other projects that I've got excited about the hardware is sitting on some bench somewhere unreleased. A lot like Elbox's PPC project, pictures were shown then nothing :-/

As a Commodore, Atari AND Sega fanatic the world could not have turned out a single bit worse than it has for home computing and video games hardware!


I must admit I miss the platform wars, or going around to a friends place and he would have something different to try/play on.

Although after awhile it was A500's everywhere ;-)
