Hi,
I dont know anything about cusa.  Didnt even know there was such an animal.  A new machine would be nice.  I dont know why it hasnt been done as yet.  There are lots of clever people about why hasnt it been done yet.

I bought qnx awhile back because someone said it was going to be an amiga os that would run native on a meanie(IBM).  Well I never tried it out but am hanging fire on OE c64 c128 and of course everyones favorite the amiga.

I agree that it cant be a pc and in fact it shouldnt be intel at all.  Wrong chip and wrong mongrelization.  Needs to be the fastest motorola chip Job's used in a mac, 68k or ppc.  I also agree that it should use lots of flash memory.  I also think we shouldnt try to shoe horn the kitchen sink into it.  It should be the zippiest and freshest piece of hardware using the old architecture.  I call it distributive hardware like it was in the old days.  Display had its own ram and was mostly separate.  Cpu had its ram and did what it did mostly alone.  But we need to do it better.  A display in  its own separate world.  All it does is display.  No help from the cpu.  I/O should be in dual mode like a fifo on steroids.  Real print and forget.  Real download while doing other things.  Should also be able to stream video on the fly without bufftering.  Download, display and save all at the same time.  Also should be an airtight net machine that cant be hacked because like in the old days all os was in rom and ram was zeroed out  This can be done now with what motorola has on the shelves while we await their next breakthrough.  Lets give them a kick.

Some clever boots can bread board this right now.  Some other clever boots can cobble up the migaware to make it work.

Jobs made apple in his garage.  Lets do the same with the next amiga.
