Id rather someone came up with an affordable  PPC motherboard capable of running AmigaOS4. All of the current ones are pretty dated now, and fairly expensize. the new AmigaONE is lovely and all that but so far out of the range of  my disposable income that I cant consider it.

Yes, what happened to the limePC (or some netbook) that was supposed to get os4 support? That would be a better plan.

The Limebook was a nice idea, but it had one major drawback:
the makers of it stopped making it.

That tends to be a pretty major flaw. :)

The initial investment required to restart production would have been huge, and the resulting price point too high for its specs.


What is the LimePC Z9 listed on their website -is that similar to it? The site states it has a 800mhz PowerPC MIPS processor, which I find somewhat confusing.
