Why is that? A G3 AmigaOne even is a lot faster and includes a full computer. So why all all these CyberStorms still so sought after?

Is it because they plug into a real Amiga? That's the only benefit I can see. To me it looks like people are after an Amiga PPC machine that has AGA and can run old PPC games and iFusion on the Workbench. Apart from that it's not worth doing much else.

Sure you could run OS4 but it's limited, has bugs and doesn't replace OS3.9. And if you want to run MOS you can get a Mac now.

I want to kmow why newer machines like the A1 that run at almost ten times the clock speed as a full compuiter are worth nothing compared to an older card running almost ten times slower that needs to be plugged into an actual computer with expensive support cards. Huh. :huh:

Even in the Amiga world this doesn't make sense! If the AmigaOne plugged into am A1200 like it was supposed to would it be worth a fortune now? Ten times as much as a CyberStorm goes for!? :-o

...

AmigaOne is not a real Amiga, it has nothing to do with the original Amiga design, neither does it work the same way. Of course real Amigans want Amigas and not new "Amigas". If you still use a slow PPC system as your main desktop today then I feel sorry for you. Most of the guys upgrading Amigas do it as a hobby, and they know that the real Amiga systems are the ones that gives the good old feeling of the great custom chip design and so on.
