Imagine that Jens has finished CloneA (eg he can create FPGA's for the ECS chipset, maybe even the AGA chipset by now).

Now the question would be how to make any money out of CloneA.  One way would be to release part of the design as a new scandoubler like the IndivsionECS for example.

Anyone know what pissed Jens off enough to leave?

Yep does sound a bit strange.  I have no personal information on this site apart from my D.O.B 11/09/1902 and my real name 'Mr Big'.

They only ways I can think of selling it are:

1) Something like the MiniMig but packaged in a cute 'mini' 1200 case (and maybe mini 4000T cases) with the Amiga brand name, running loads of pre-installed WHDLOAD games.  I think loads of people (ex-Amigans + some existing classic users) would buy into this but only if it was idiot-proof and cheap (<$200).

2) Replacement classic motherboards for classic cases (I can see only limited sales).

3) Replacement classic motherboards (with cases?) and some modern updates (think Natami), again I think they would sell but only in limited amounts.

Basically any classic upgade (OS3.9) will start to compete with SAM and the X1000 (OS4.x) if it's too expensive.
