Has CommodoreUSA shipped anything?

@Jan
What exactly is it that doesn't exist?
So far I already have whatever CUSA is "offering", the only slightly interesting bit is the properly layed out amiga keyboard.

Btw - halfway down your post you start using "we" as if you're part of CUSA - what's that about?

hi kolla,
no, I'm in no way related to C=USA.

ok

As for what does not exist. Apart from the design, a computer optimized to all the features described in my first post does not exist. It would take weeks of research.

What, to put together a box with Intel i7 and radeon card? I don't get it.

Also, while I might be able to assemble and configure something at least close to it, many people I'm working with won't ever. I'd expect from C=USA and the community to build up a level of support for such a system that would simply not exist in a DIY solution.

I'm still pussled, you describe what sounds like an ordinary barebone PC system and then you write that it doesn't already exist?

Btw - the design there is two seperate machines, one keyboard type box and one regular box. It's like A500 and A2000, A600 and A3000, A1200 and A4000. I thought that was quite obvious. Also it seems very aimed at Natami, with Super AGA, LUA etc.

I figured the Amiga emulation for the iPhone was developed on a MAC

Was it? Shocking, considering that the iOS SDK is OSX only.
The question is, will Apple allow an Amiga emulator into their store?

Well, you are most welcome to show me a silent high end PC System in a design that somehow resembles Yoz ones
and is compatible to my specs (including a custom boot loader and supporting community) and runs OS X
'out of the box'. (read without fiddeling kexts and in auto update mode).

There are very good reasons for why you do not see high end i7 in such tiny cabinets. There are also reasons why you don't see OSX sold with regular PCs.

Personally I need both Windows 7 as well as OS X.

Then you either build a hackintosh yourself, or you buy a Mac. Apple do not allow OSX to be sold with other computers than Apple machines, doing so means that you have to face Apple in court. This has already happened.

I would probably enjoy working every now and then on some Linux distro that aims specifically at the Amiga community.

And who will provide that? The ignorants of CUSA?

The one proposed OS X driver disk for not so computer savvy people, would make some people I work with order an Amiga today. Sometimes it is those little things that make all the difference.

Why would it interest anyone here that one can order a PC with Amiga sticker on it? Do you not grasp why we are here? Do you not understand that it is Amiga systems that are our interest here? We already have OSX, Linux, Windows, *BSD and whatnot running for years, and we're active on the relevant forums for those systems.

So sure, go ahead an make a "designer PC" that can run any of the OSes you like and stick the Amiga name on it, I still won't care.

By the way, it runs great.

UAE running on whatever device is not really news, you know. We were running UAE on PDAs (Zaurus and iPaq) almost 10 years ago already.

What might this A4000-esque box be good for, come on it doesn't take much imagination

Host CPU and a cooling system.

I already have and can therefore say it would be a great idea  to assemble an Amiga with having OS X driver support for each an every part in mind, rather than building one based on PC hardware and later cry for drivers having no dev team.

Which is fine, but how is it in any shape or form relevant to Amiga?

It's legal where I live in Europe and for the states , well, you do not have to advertise that your system runs OS X just perfect, word of mouth will do here

So you're thinking of selling a hackintosh without the OS. Great, but again - totally irrelevant to anything Amiga.

You know what I love most about Robert J. Mical? He's such a friendly charming persona.

And what does that have to do with anything?
