I can think of a couple of reasons this would be a good thing. Besides the fact that it would just be cool to take my A3000s along into the future with me instead of having them hopelessly outdated that is.  Granted the software probably won't be updated much but the existing software I do have would fly!
Yet I digress. :-)

The two reasons I was talking about.  AOS 4 is currently being developed on a 68k base.  For all of us fanatics that still have a "Classic" Amiga, they could release a version of AOS4 still in the 68k form and sell copies for those of us that want to keep the classic machines.  The other thing I would like to see is a replacement board for the A600.  Imagine a new MB with the same keyboard connector, a Coldifre as the processor, All USB (no legacy ports), and onboard video of some sort.  Even an integrated Intel or Sis chipset is more up to date than, not to mention an old Virge 3D like the one on the CV64 3D is better than the original chipset.  Plus you would have the coolest looking Amiga yet!   :-D   Hey, if you are going to dream, you may as well dream big!!!
