No, but ROHS compliance does.
That is why RoHS, along with all other socialist obligations are bad. Plain and simple. Bad.
Who would be the customers?
Anyone that wants to run OS4 and doesn't have an AmigaOne. I'd buy two of them today if they came available.
A few hundred Amiga users.
Profit is profit. If you can prove you will profit, you can get the resources to do anything. Less buyers simply means the price goes up. We have plenty of evidence that the people that would buy such a thing have no problem spending a few extra dollars. Now, finding the sweet spot between making a profit and not turning away buyers....
I'd love to be proved wrong
I have been looking forward to the release of a new PPC board since the announcement of OS4 Classic. I am not banking on it, because, well, I haven't been under a boing-ball shaped rock for the past 15 years. So, I have nothing to lose by looking forward to it. I have my hope. It's all I have, but I have it. I lost all hope of running OS4 some time in 2002. Well, now I run OS4.
Here, I'll bet you $1USD that we get a new PPC board for 'Classic' Amigas before the end of the year. Now I have something to lose
