What never ceases to amaze me is that people will actually prefer software and hardware NOT to be used.
What do we lose if this particular computer gets sold with OS4 ?
Nothing. But it'll be fun to play with.
Maybe, but I fail to see the lineage that allows them to tag this new hardware with the name 'Amiga'. In doing so they are playing on a link to a Commodore and Escom heritage that doesn't exist.
It's like Ford's marketing people saying "A Ferrari is distantly related to a Ford just because it's a car and has four wheels, so we'll badge the new Mondeo as a Ferrari...." It's like The Emperor's New Clothes story......
A modified embedded processor board that originally was more related to a PLC controller might be fun to tinker with from a hacker standpoint, but aiming that board at high-end applications is maybe the wrong market. Their approach seems more like Sinclair than Commodore in that it's almost a modified kit board.
