We need a small cheap PPC mobo to run OS4 when it starts being sold.

the latest A1200 200mhz PPC card went on ebay for 310GBP!

Why cant someone make a nice NANO-ITX SoC based 400mhz or dual core e300/600 for alot less maybe with PowerVR GPU built in so all you have to do is add RAM and Storage and buy OS4! all for under 300GBP!!!

Its better to have loads small cheap mobos that people can use then swap everyyer when a new one comes out instead of build a massive ATX 2ghz amiga which are to expensive and by the time they come out new thing hve come along so everybody want something else.

plus Soc based PPC chips are getting better and better everyday so there no need for a big box expensive amiga.

nonsence..

what would be the point in using a pci card on the efika that was a clone of aga 020 040 etc?

No point unless it was standalone clone.

Leave this 3.x stuff for classic amigas or uae etc.

OS4 and MOS run on PPC.

Plus it would take up the only one PCI slot on the Efika5K2 unless you had bridges.

Theres just no need for an PCI amiga card.

Regards.

Exactly mate.

Theres no point in making clone of old 68k Amigas unless you use it for os3.x or retro gaming like the minimig.

We need to move on with PPC and make nice little cheep boards that we can sell once year and upgrade.

No that OS4 for classic soon released we can concerntrate on this as our main objective.

Maybe yes if there was an old 68k amiga clone compatable with 1200 PPC card then what would be the point when there not being mde anymore?

I think we would need more PPC cards than 1200 motherboards etc.

This is why we need no 68k and just a small PPC mobo to use, if you have got 1200/3000/4000 with PPC then great also.
