Just wondering what about just emulating one of Amiga classic chipset on it, say the Paula. Why Paula well it was the one chip used in all classic amigas, it powered the audio, Xmos seams to be strong at handling sound, so having perfectly emulated sound would be good and maybe help speed up and improve emulation of classic amiga and not only that it handled the floppy controller, so it be pretty neat if you installed a floppy disk drive, the xmos chip could read classic amiga formatted disks. I know there is the Catweasel solution but it be pretty neat doing it on the xmos. PS: its just an idea.

Is that why people would have to pay 1700 euros?for paula support?come on people

No, I bought it because i wanted the fastest and best AmigaOS4 system, I have a PC for UAE, and actually a real classic Amiga, Xmos is a nice extra to play with and see what happens, and it would be cool to do this kind of stuff with it. I doubt adding the xmos chip to the board raise the cost that much, the reason it cost this much is largely the small production run and I guess the CPU and OS4 development costs.
