Amiga One X 1000 and Xena/Xorro

@TrevorDick,

Wouldn't it be better to bring out a couple of boards for an affordable price to bring people back to the platform and to start providing support. The Amiga would of never made it at such a huge price, plus Commodore started support by a mag showing how to program the hardware and all the new commands needed to give programmers support on their product. Next thing you need to do is get a software company to start making software for it (if you can find one that microslick hasn't already over powered by their software usage EULA, giving them the right to program microsick programs) anyhow just sitting on a computer and bringing it out is just part of the program, so now we have a new computer with an OS, and some programs. Not very attractive or interesting at this point of time, especially for the price.

I believe the reason they gave up on the Amiga was the designers and engineers gave little room for expansion especially in the graphics and sound area, and what was made for expansion was later on to expensive or obsoleted the main boards that came out. In other words everything was specialized which later became the death bell and road block for future development.

No, this is an Amiga forum that is open and welcome to all flavors of the Amiga experience.  It is one of, if not THE oldest Amiga forum site, so it began before many of the newer Amiga flavors existed, but that does not mean that it is ONLY for Classic Amiga users.



The majority of users in the Amiga community are "Classic" Amiga owners/users, so it is no surprise that a "Classic" Amiga point of view is expressed more often here.  The new owner(s) want to make this site a welcoming place for all users of any Amiga or Amiga inspired system.

Please keep this in mind when posting to these forums.

@AmigaDave,

Very True, It isn't just for Classic Amiga users, they have let Mac users slowly take over this board, it has become more Mac orientated with their Amiga Emulation programs (which I don't really blame Mac users, since the Amiga even with how old it is, is a way better platform to use and way more fun)

Just goes to show they will let anyone on this board, (even me, LOL) but then they banned one of the most entertaining, and knowledgeable users named FRANKO, who is a pure Amiga user, who even I admire, since I am mostly a classic Amiga user, who slowly moved over the the PC platform for more modern day games and graphic and sound improvements. I know Bill Gates took the Amiga OS, examined it and slowly moved its ideas and principles to what the PC is today, if you ever saw his office, he had an Amiga 1000 sitting on his back shelf so he wouldn't lose direction of which way to take his OS and the PC, which was new hardware, new graphics, new expansion slots, and the undoing of old exhausted time ridden hardware. While Amiga stayed on its course with old PPC technology, and expansion devices, which threw them out of the main stream high end computers. We saw it coming but didn't believe it could happen, no Commodore was to ahead of all the other platforms, yeah right!!!
