Hi, intesting question... personally, I'd pay that money for an updated AmigaOS4.x for Classics... it makes more sense to me.
Would you be willing to pay $100 for an updated Classic AmigaOS? What features would you request for it to implement, enhance or bugfix? (Please do avoid senseless crap about DVD players for a poor 68k cpu, be realistic about what you can actually expect).
For example, in my case i would defintely pay $100 for the following integrated AmigaOS enhancements:
Let's see...
-DHCP support on a TCP-IP stack
Miami?
-A CSS capable web browser that works on AGA/RTG
Netsurf 68K?
-An updated easier to use HDToolbox program
Why? It already supports large drives.. and it's easy to use!
-A video player that supports FLV, WMV, MPG, QT and AVI, much like RiVA did with MPG, supporting both AGA and RTG
Hmmm... prolly, unfortunately those are low quality formats... no sense to me now since 68K (even a 060) doesn't have enough power...
-A decent CD/DVD filesystem handler that supportd UDF, Multisessions, Dual layer DVDs
AllegroCDFS? CacheCDFS? AFAIK, It does support UDF.. dunno about Dual layer DVDs though
-An integrated CD/DVD burner application
Why would you pay for this when you have makecd for free?!
-New Filesystems support: NTFS(Win7), HFS(Mac), ext4(linux) and one for efficient flash storage
Well, the are already drivers for reading NTFS and ext(X).. you can read MAC volumes with a mac emulator...
-New and highly optimized BMP, PNG and TIFF datatypes
Well, there is warp datatypes, pretty good.. low cost, PNG one is outdated though, I don't know about the rest... there's the other option , the AK ones... which afaik, are free and updates regularly!
-A fully working version of MUI or an AROS optimized zune port
I'd probably pay for this last one for OS 3.x.. but.. I'd definately be more interested in OS 4 update/bug fix release.
