I don't think it's that much, 50 000€ is 50€ x 1000 amiga users. Frankly going by eBay prices and Classic/ppc amiga (OS4/MOS) users on forums I'd say there would be plenty people willing to give those 50€ as even donation! The problem would be the production, how much would it be ?
And by the way, how many AOS4 for classic CD's have been sold ?

This reminds me of the CyberstormG4 prototypes from Phase5, how far did they go with the development of those ? There were some old threads on this but I really can't remember if that was known. Could be a good place to start.

There are obvious advantages to it:
1- There simply is demand for it! As insane as it might seemm
2- You can run old apps and old games alongside with newer stuff
3- You can actually get around the licenses and just get the OS4 classic version running, assuming the card comes out soon (which is probably impossible...:)) but still, judging by how things are going with the court battle and Amiga Inc.'s complete incompetence in everything so far, chances are this is as far you'll get.
4- You'll probably be able to also run MOS on it :)
5- Design could build up somehow on the CyberstormPPC, assuming those are the some people that worked on it, so faster design. They also had the CyberstormG4/BlizzardG3 prototypes some time ago, but it's not known how far did those go.
