There are both YEA and NAY sides to this idea!
OS3.5/3.9 had minimum requirements of 020, 6Mb RAM, CD-Rom etc.
You HAVE to leave some of the past behind! Bought ANY 33.3/45 records or 12" LaserDiscs lately?
ANYONE running a 68000 except for floppy-based '80s games can't really expect a new OS, and they don't need one as those games don't need more than just the KS . . . you know what I mean!
The ColdFusion project offers MORE than just a 200Mhz speed . . . there's provision for 256Mb RAM, GFX Card, and even LAN connection (I think).
For me, 68060 at 50Mhz is starting to wear thin but the ColdFusion does offer a bicycle-path beside the A1 Transit lane. Who would deny that the AmigaOS is so efficient that for 90% of computer tasks a 2Ghz processor is NOT really necessary?
A CD32-based Scala presentation can STILL surprise an audience, used to PowerPoint, particulary when they TRY to get their heads around the fact that its controlled by a 14Mhz processor!
I don't own an A3000, but if ColdFusion AND a OS past 3.9 are available, I'd be in the market for one -- even have a prospective replacement case for that combination! It has space for EIGHT 5ΒΌ" devices and is big enough to sit on! Then it would only need upholsetry, or a cushion. Who said that an A3000 had to be just for the desktop? :-)

Laptops? Palmtops? Time to break the mold - I want my SubBum computer!
