He has no motivation to do that right now. Such hardware would run an OS that he claims ownership of but does not have. He's surely not going to do something which benefits his "enemy", as he surely sees them.
I have a different perspective to most of you guys because I’ve only recently starting getting into the whole Amiga thing again. Reading up on what’s been going on since Commodore went bankrupt is quite ‘interesting’ to say the least.
I find it amazing that you cannot find anything about Classic Amiga’s on
Amiga.com. If I were them I’d be plugging the whole retro thing as much as I could. There’s no reason why they still couldn’t make some money from the classic market, you only have to look at the eBay prices of old accelerator cards etc.
Why not commission a ‘modernised’ 1200 & 4000T….nothing too revolutionary, just something with built in DVD drive, easily expandable memory, and a processor that will run OS4. It can’t be that hard can it :-?
If you've got the HW available to buy, a regularly updated OS, and some official software development going on (think WiiWare) then you’ve got a nice healthy retro platform and everyone is happy (well, almost everyone :lol:).
