Very realistic goals and description.  It for those who believe in having Amiga hardware but fast and better.  Most of the Amiga electronic components are 20 years old or so and held together with duck tap.  Buying a NatAmi will get you another 20 years or so on hardware.  By then your 10000 cored beast main computer will be running UAE at insane speeds, probably so fast that if you blink you'll miss it, and it'll be time to hang up the old hardware....

Duct tape is a generic product, the name can't be trademarked.  Duck tape is a trademarked brand of Duct tape....

Feature creep is the grim reaper of the IT world....

Come on guys stop being so negative... you sound like my parents before they got a divorce...

Well whadya want...these projects are hard enough to get off the ground to begin with. I'm amazed we have MiniMIG and new Turbocards from Jens. Be thankfull for what we have.

That being said I was totally drooling for the G4 phase 5, AmiJoe, etc. I feel your pain. I'm happy with UAE and a 42" lcd for now. (no flicker fixer or $50 or coverter cables required)

@Darrin

Specs like "a PCI slot(s)" don't build much confidence in the idea that they are anywhere near completion or that even the specs are agreed upon, so they had to stick an optional plural in, just in case....

Ever hear of printers, scanners, cameras, mp3 players and the like?  USB is for more than just keyboards.  USB is not a luxury, now bluetooth might be a luxury, but it would be nice ;)

I suppose they wouldn't absolutely need the ethernet port, most of my computers just use the wifi anyway.

Lack of resources. For instance USB support adds insane amount of extra work. Why? Just because you don't want to use PS/2 like the other projects?
