Re: Attacking my first idea as a scam...

I'll try to say this as respectfully as possible - I do know you have good intentions with this, but surely you can see why people were attacking it?

You've come here, many times - asking very "green" questions.  One recently was something simple like how to install a .library file on your real Amiga.  Another was some basic info about '060 chips.  That's great, and that's what A.org is for - getting answers.  But...

Fast forward a few weeks, add one copy of MS Paint for your mock up of the device - and you're now a hardware engineer and software, capable of custom making chips, programming unique new operating system functions.    Talking as if you duct taped together a 6502, a 68000, SID chips, stuff them in a shoebox, paint a controller on the shoebox and cut a few cartridge slots into it and call it a consumer ready product.

It doesn't really work that way.  I didn't see your initial idea as a scam, per se - but I imagine many did.  Drawing up a rectangle in MS paint, tacking the Amiga checkmark on it doesn't make it a viable product, and it doesn't make you a software or hardware engineer capable of even putting the basics behind this dream device together.  

Sorry, just how I see it.
