What if ?

Ignoring the whole "but why?" factor, and not going for things that are available as addons anyway:

* Faster BUS & chipset.
Fast enough to reduce wait states as much as possible for everything accessing RAM.
It would also make supporting a higher scanrates for graphics output less hungry. Couple that with more addressable graphics ram (and of course buslines, registers etc to suit), nice high res and colourdepth at high refreshrates.

Other things would be nice, but they are usually already there.

I'm interested in the FPGA based Amigas in development like many others are.
It would be really nice to have each chip core available separately. If it were I'd be trying my hardest to make an FPGA board (or a much simpler CPLD board if the logic fits) to shove in. And if it worked then worry about trying to change it.

Come on dudes... get a life. The machine is no longer viable by todays standards. Nothing but a tinker toy now, but if it does what you want at the moment, then there's not much reason to want it to do more.

No flames please. just my nickles worth...

Asthmatics might want to leave the room about now...

Ripley's Believe it or Not!

It is nice to think of an Amiga with modern specs. But even Apple is caving in to Intel x86 based computers... And their OS is now... Well you know the story.

So a new Amiga based on the old technologies would have to be something very special indeed.

But a nice, affordable Amiga with the most common accessories and some desirables built into a neat little package would have me sold in an instant.
Give me a handheld Amiga with at least ECS. An SD card for a HDD, maybe WiFi and/or Bluetooth.

Seems like I'm asking for a palm with a modified Dragonball. Palm and Amiga hybrid. Awwwwwww Yeeeeeeeah. Thats for me.
