But this makes me think that the AmigaOne (or the Pegasos) is just like this new PPC platform : nothing original. Just take a PC and replace the x86 compatible and some electronic chips and you get it.


You mean just like apple? Just a mobo with PC cards and a PPC cpu instead an x86... I guess It`s not Mac anymore eh? Or it is because of the fancy case and the new Amigas wont be Amigas cause will have just another ordinary grey case (just like most A1200 tower systems)?

Is it an Amiga for you an A1200 on a PC tower with  PC slots like PCI which have a PC gfx card, a PC sound card and a PC ethernet card? Oh and if it has also a BlizzardPPC instead of only a 68k? I guess not...

The new Amiga just another PPC platform... was A1000 just another 68k platform?

(Ah but we had custom chips!! Do you have a company with the know-how and the capital to make new custom chips that will be better that the nVidia and ATI GPUs? And even if Amiga had all these things.. in 6 months would be crap their custom chips) (BTW I haven`t seen an AGA screen for years since I don`t have a scan doubler. Doh! so that means I haven`t used an Amiga all these years!) (You`d say I should use the dblpal screenmode and drop my GFX card lol)


The important thing for me would be if that mobo could run AmigaOS (competition=lower prices, more choices)

The point was that in order to be an Amiga doesn`t need to have custom chips. AmigaOne/Pegasos are Amigas exactly the same way as a MacG4 is an Apple.

Yes but Amiga was never a game console (only in the eyes of its enemies) It is a computer, and from A3000 and beyond it didn`t have a standard hardware. It used graphics cards, soundcards etc, it had a variety of 68k cpus and speeds etc.

The only difference now is that those cards aren`t made for Amiga computers only but for a variety of computers by very specialized companies in this or that sector.

This way your computer is modular and you don`t have to throw it if you want to update lets say its graphic chip after 6 months.
