The Natami project started and stopped again.

Sounds like he has given up for good this time. Please don't say anything nasty yet just in case he is testing us.

There is also AROS68k news there.

edit:
It is actually a different system that was cancelled. Natami is still where it was.

Re: the super aga part. This has already been done by rtg. Why do we need something Amiga pure?
He has some good design goals. Others are a bit off, including the expected retail sales.

edit:
The project that was cancelled was different system. An attempt at a more powerful system. so Natami is still in Prototype phase, not cancelled.

There are a couple FPGA projects in the works. Minimig 2, the FPGA Replay.
The FPGA Replay is fast with the 060 and it will be available soon.

Natami had a lot of pressure to come out with super aa and performance. It was really a hobby project, if he was able complete it at the time it would have been great.
That was at the start of people getting into retro systems.

Why ask for an Amiga revival? Amiga would only fall again. A small amount of ex-users will come back steadily though.

Why not just put an S3 DX in there? Put one of the DSPs we were suppose to have as well.

I look forward to FPS being ported. We never got that on Amiga.

I just should point out that it was a different project that was cancelled. Natami was not re-started.

I checked out some videos of OS4 and MorphOS. Both are okay, but not worth the price yet.

You've got a small amount of apps that should be covered by each platform:
Internet browser, music player.
Depending each persons needs: also an office suite, CD/DVD recording etc.

I pick the one that is fun to use. A quality that other OSes never had.

Here's a nice one that got finished:

Dear Moderator,

This thread should be moved to CH. It has gone a little off-topic.
Anyone else agree?
