Interview with Trevor Dickinson

I'm still astonished that there exist people prepared to gamble good money on making custom hardware, to write an OS from scratch and to write drivers for that OS from scratch.

Personally, without knowing the numbers, I can't see how a business case can be put forward for this venture to be successful.

IMO its too expensive, but I always think that when I see ancient amiga 68k hardware sell for the prices that it does.

What kind of Amiga was more expensive really (lets talk about actual value of the money and relative HW prices of similar spec systems from the period)?"

Well In Aus a bare A4000 68040 was $4000 Aus, ie $2800 Euro.  (Interestingly an A1200 was $1200.)
