If it doesn't work (and you are saying it won't) then many people will buy cheaper hardware and get hold of pirated copies of OS4
People will certainlly pirate OS4 for amigas what have those PPC card boards and as soon as someone cracks this magic dondle then it will be open to use the same hardware as the A1 but with the extra benefit of it being a lot cheaper,
anyone that seriously think these sort of anti-pirate measures will protect anything are misguided, just look at Sonys new protection which can be bypassed by using nothing other than a cheap felt tip pen (non permanant)
The only real way to stop piracy is to never release anything :-D :-D :-D
