Remove the heatsink and stand your coffee cup on top of the processor.

The great thing about the amigas custom chipset was/is that it gave each model a long life, 24 years and counting, whilst PCs are obsolete in 4years or less.
If a future amiga used off the shelf parts, it would need to be regularly upgraded too, GPU's have a life span of just 2 years or so, and newer software would not run fast enough on a 4 year old amiga that used off the shelf parts.
Fast processors and gigabytes of ram encourages lazy programming.

IMO the project, once the development version is ready to ship, should contact Amiga, Inc for a license. I would think that if NatAmi was successfully prototyped and had a list of committed developers as well as other customers, then Amiga, Inc would grant a license in time.

No, they won't, Amiga Inc will not under any circumstances, grant any Amiga licenses. They are determined to kill the Amiga, why?, I don't know, maybe some other company is paying them to do it, I cannot see how they would benefit otherwise.

When Natami runs out of OS 3.9, they could either sell it without an OS, since we all have several already, or bundle AROS68k with it.

I think it is wrong for a moderator to use this forum to conduct a personal vendetta.
