The Amiga is not all about the OS, it's very much the hardware too that makes Amiga.

My suggestion:
enhance/change the old custom chips to newer/faster/better ones, but preserve compatibility with classic-side (68k) games/apps/utils. Better soundchip, graphic chip (NO interlace), PCI-E place for new graphics cards, sata hd controller + add many of newer things (usb,bluetooth etc.). You get the picture. The "old" is still there coupled with loads of recent hardware features!. And possibly stacked in a nostalgic desktop-keyboard case like A1200 or maybe even A4000 :).

Now THAT I'd buy for a dollar ! :banana:

@amigadave
If QNX provides support for legacy programs then you're on the right track here. Like old & new together, it's a bit like i tried to explain on my post :). But i'd suggest not to abandon development of OS 4 if this "hype" OS 5 is going to be built from scratch. It would be better to continue development from OS 4 and not start all over...or?  :-?
