What's wrong with P96?

I rather like disscusions like these, but I do have to point out that I can really see any future for this.

68k is not going to get any new hardware*... So the C64 and P96 systems support everything that is available. Both are basically compatible... Solid and in use... This idea is just reinventing the wheel without any tangible benefits.

*I really can't see any PCI-E boards for the Amiga being either comercially or technically viable...

There could be some merit in porting AROS's gallium gfx thing to MOS and AOS4... maybe?

But someone is going to have to write drivers for the new system that support the cards that are already supported by either P96 or CV64... No one is going to do that...
