Hmm, lets see, let me make some tall orders.

First and foremost. More people in the U.S. that can do hardware repairs and upgrades on Amigas. I still have not gotten the IDE adapter I ordered working, and now my kickstart socket it damaged, Hurray!


Hardware:
An IDE adaptor for the A1200 and or A600 that installs with ease and does not try to share space with other upgrades.

A GFX card for the A600 or A1200.

Amiga on a PCI card (FPGA?) for use with MorphOS, OS4, and AROS machines with PCI slots. The idea behind this would be to call upon the hardware directly to launch apps and games that require the original Amiga chip set(s).

MIDI Adapter with more inputs and outputs than offered before.

Software:

 Well this isn't Amiga specific, but I'd love to see something for MorphOS that both Amithlon and OS4 users get to enjoy...

...a program to redirect all calls to the Paula chip to AHI instead. I'd pay for that! :)

 A modern game construction kit? :)

 why ? If it's a software for classic then Paula is present so why use AHI instead? Kamelito

For MorphOS running on non-classic hardware. All four of my classic systems need work... work is not cheap nor easy to come by. Matter of fact my last A600 took 3 freaking years to get back only to find it had something else wrong that needed fixed. So I'm looking for alternatives big time right now and don't have the cash (or desire) for an OS 4 system. Thus far Amithlon seems to be the best solution for me till MorphOS gets something like this, then the Efika, Mac Mini, G5, etc. All will be classic Amigas minus the AGA.
