First to implement AAA chipset?

I couldn't care less about shiny new (never shipped on stock Amiga's) gfx modes and such in these new PGA implementations, tbh.  Been a lot of years since I had any interest in gaming on the Amiga.  I know I am likely in the minority there, after seeing the success of stuff like the Minimig - so no disrespect intended to you retro gaming dudes in the least..

Give me:  A next gen Amiga that can take modern peripherals - USB sticks, has ethernet onboard, modern graphics ports/flickerfixers - running the classic C= OS.  Small, quiet, power efficient, and most importantly rock solid.

Not limited to being a gaming box only, but something I wish I had in the mid 90's.  A complete Amiga.

Most people around here know me as "The BBS guy".  I spent countless hours messing around with the old 'miggy BBS programs, despite the fact my BBS's only get 20 telnet calls a month, lol.  

I am looking VERY forward to Natami and FPGA Arcade (with the daughtercard) as a solution to replacing a UAE box or old finicky hardware.  

For all the merits of MorphOS, OS4 and AROS - nothing to me beats good old WB 3.x from a pure pleasure aspect on the user end.  Having such a machine at a reasonable price that runs rock solid is something the community has been seeking for a very long time.  As good as UAE, Amikit, Amithlon and the emulation software is, even with direct boot into WB (never seeing the host OS), it still "isn't the same", you know?

I figure the new implementations of the Amiga gfx advancements like AAA are just an homage to what "could have been", a spiritual successor, tbh.  I'd be very surprised if there is ever much software that takes advantage of it, but as long as it maintains backwards compatibility, all good by me.

Unless SAGA hits multiple platforms on these new gen Amiga's besides the Natami, I don't see it getting much use.  If such things are limited to just the newer FPGA Amiga's, there's really a limited market.

Then again, I'm not their target market, as I'm not a gamer and I'd be content with running a "modern" Amiga under barebones lowres low color WB 3.1 anyways.
