 It's off topic, but I am intrigued with your avatar, is that a Commodore Pet monitor with Workbench on the screen?

As for a new accelerator, I would love to see a new batch of 030, 040, 060 boards for all model Amigas. Although A1200 and A4000 seems like the best candidates. Just image if it were possible if you could get a new 060 board for your A1200 for about than 150 US dollars. I am dreaming but it doesn't make sense that they couldn't reproduce exsisting board designs in China for a reasonable cost. Even with smaller production runs. Then again there are other factors I am sure.

It's an Educator 64, which is a standard C64 board in a PET case. In the pic it's running the Contiki OS (complete with telnet client, www browser and server, and plasma screensaver!)


That is really cool. I would love to get a closer look at that set up! I am not familiar with Educator 64 or Contiki OS I'll have to read about that.
