A New Classic Amiga via Kickstarter
« on: June 11, 2013, 08:06:01 AM »
Hi,

Which would you like have. A follow on AAA chipset A5000/A3500 and A1400. A boxer system (A4000 with PCI slots).
Or stick with FPGA path, plus all the extras like USB and ethernet.
I could add redo Amithlon, instead just select other.

I'm quite happy with the FPGA path.

On the off chance anyone wanted to resurrect the boxer, that would probably be doable without reaching $100 million+ in development.
It would be an upgraded big box Amiga which you could add 24-bit gfx.
Have it also in Mini-itx for a wedge system.

I never got to play with an Amithlon machine, but I assume it would be like WinUAE only better.

I should do this poll in another year. This was more of a quiz than a serious poll.

P.S. I should have added the GBA 1000 option, where you redo the ageing hardware chip for chip.

11 votes for carrying on where C= left off and rolling out the next model. You can guestimate that 100 people (casual non-voters) would back this. Unfortunately not enough.

If you did manage to get enough $ to redo a classic Amiga, it would just be the motherboard upgraded and be able to fit in an A1200, 3000 or 4000 case.

I'm sure that the FPGA route also includes remakes of the original chips if it is ever viable. Hard to say if it will ever happen.

Sorry whats the point of this?

I'm just asking if anyone wanted to resurrect old projects. Although it is not a serious poll, so we don't go off on a tangent.
