I think this is a very bad idea; only real Amiga hardware is real Amiga hardware! It's really no more difficult than that! Keep the history clean and pure. This won't mean that any NG efforts won't have a place in the history as Vox claimed, not at all, but the fact is that HW wise they have all more in common with common commodity PC HW (CPU being the biggest/only difference) than true Amiga HW. It's nothing bad with that IMHO, but it's just not the same, it's not Amiga, and this isn't changed by putting a boing ball sticker on top of it.

I would also include machines like the Peg 1 and 2 and Efika for MorphOS and the AROS machines like the iMica, but I would stop short of including generic PCs and Macs because they're covered by other websites; you have to draw the line somewhere, after all.


The line should of course be drawn right at the last true Amiga HW that existed, not before, and certainly *not* arbitrarily after! Amiga HW is Amiga HW, period!

If you would include AmigaOne/Teron, Pegasos, iMica etc, then you should also include *all* AROS native HW, as well as *all* of these:

You should at least be consistent, and not draw the line from certain individuals arbitrary subjective opinions!

But again, only Amiga HW is Amiga HW. It's no more complicated than that!

MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

amiga or not, can't we have our own dedicated web site? The truth is that many hardcore amigans do not want to merge with ng stuff and we should just respect their opinion. Ng amiga is its own breed that has very little to do with heydays of commodore.

Sadly, so far only one AmigaOne XE owner volunteered


Maybe because it's simply wrong?

So, seems like Pegasos / Efika owners so far chose to be excluded. Their choice.


OMG are you for real? Who are *you* to make decisions and definitions on behalf of an entire community?
