If indeed released, this thing would be capable of running 68k environment on steroids, and would not be able to run OS4.0 which is a PPC operating system.
In other words, you would still need either a BPPC/CSPPC card for your classic Amiga, or an AmigaOne, if you wish to run OS4.0.
Yeah I hear what you're saying... but I'm a MorphOS user and ever since all this kufuffle kicked off I've been keeping one eye on potential new platforms just in case MOS dies.
Or maybe MOS could be ported? Or maybe Elbox could line up another OS for it? (68k AmigaOS won't take advantage of the hardware and has no future path anyway), or maybe OS4 could be ported - I might be more tempted to go OS4 if I had an alternative to the AmigaOne hardware.
Edit:
I really hope they plan to produce a standalone motherboard. I'd buy one for sure.
