I talked to the guy and he got so much demands from Amigans ("add this and that!") and so much critizism for his design choices that he didn't think it was fun to make them anymore. He just wanted to make a cool A500 clone with a ZII in it, but Amigans are Amigans so they pestered him till he lost interest.


Sounds about right.
My personal favorite is still my A2000, but the first things I thought were "needs a faster cpu, AGA gtraphics, more expansion slots (ZorroIII), ..." etc.
Pity, with a change to an matx form factor, this board would be cool as is.

Amigas start to live with 68040 cpu, anything less is not interesting. With 040 OS is snappy no matter how much you tinker with it. Even Basic OS3.9 is poor with 68030


In your opinion.
As the expansion bus Amigas are equipped with is at best an '030 bus, that notion is contestable.
And I was perfectly happy with the 14MHz '020 card I had in my A2000.

As to 3.9, I'd still prefer an enhanced version of 3.1.
3.9 is no longer available (legally).

OK...guess it is.
I don't know why I didn't look there.
The second company, never heard of them.

I need to remember that there is more than Amigakit.

Still, I'm likely to remain with 3.1.
