BTW there is a 1.7 GHz G4 accelerator announced from ACK Software Controls for the AmigaOne XT and MicroA1-c and yes AmigaOS does fly on them. If they were available to everyone it would be good for Amiga but they simply aren't.


When do people finally realize that what we need is cheap off-the-shelf hardware in order to enlarge the userbase and get a reasonable amount of developers?
Heck, we don't even have a half-decent webbrowser, no office package and people are dreaming that >$1.000 hardware could save the platform? It's rather looks like DOA.

First aim at something -reasonable-, if that's achieved (b tw, I am still not able to run OS4 on -something- available) then there might be some room for your pipedreams (Cell, Dual G5, blabla).
