I'm not too happy with all that Amiga-Clone situation. Yes it's a great work and all, but imagine Amiga in joystick Chinese copies with 1000 games etc. that would take down the platform and all "future" Amiga development. It's strange that Ainc. has no statement about this, or they are just trying to sell another 2$-bang license....

On the other side I really like idea of modular chips that could be used both all-in-one chip and OCS replacement, great work Jens.

Yes, that's what I had in mind as better solution. Even PCI card for PPC boards would be very nice and simple solution to run OCS/(AGA someday?) in native mode...

I'd do that if I had some money :-D

@Kronos: if Amiga is to make success in market, then  strong brand is a MUST, if you start making brand with cheap devices like those thing-in-joystick I doubt it will ever reach Apple or even smaller VoodooPC, Alienware brands...

@Tomas: In short therm, it can be success, but I doubt it would sell good enough. Tulip has good selling channels while Amiga has 3-4 dedicated shops in world.

There are many other 'cool' posibilities to make the same retro machine and not to make it cheap junk.
