Which os for NatAmi?

[Iggy]

I understood Natami was to be (near?) 100% compatible with OS3.1 but with extensions to access the more advanced hardware?  In which case a patched 3.1 would make sense.  I assumed they'd sell the hardware without an OS,  users would then be responsible for OS installation (avoiding any legal complications).  Most users already own a legal copy of 3.0 / 3.1 anyway.   Not sure about the ROM's though?

That would be my guess as well. they'll encourage ASROS68K development as i will provide a legal OS, but the systems probably will ship w/o an OS.

This would allow end users to install whatever variant they choose.

Also, pictures over at Natami site show a 68060 board on top of the baseboard...

I had a talk about building a Coldfire based accelerator with a guy on the local amiga forum. During the discussion he mentioned the lowest retail price for the slowest 68060(50 MHz)... It was 300+ $(326, to be exact). Sure, Freescale will offer it to you at 90$ a piece - if you order 10 000 CPUs . So, I think my estimate of SAM460 prices could be spot on(btw, that's just for the motherboard).
