At least we have concrete proof that the AmiJoe really existed!  I wonder how many of them were produced?  Anyway I'm going to bid for this beuty, as someone said it's worth having from a historical / rarity point of view.  

Who knows, maybe I can give it to a good engineer who would replicate it's design and turn it into a commercial product! Pre-Orders anyone? :lol:

Who designed the AmiJoe in the first place?  Couln't he (or she) finish the job?  Why dosen't Eyetech help him (or her) complete the board and make the product their own?  Seeing so much enthusiasm for this card and other PPC accelerators, and second hand PPC cards always fetching good prices, I think there is a market for such a product.  

Owners of classic Amigas will give OS4 a shot if it's bundles with a good PPC card which is readily available at a good price.  It's still niche market mind you, but probably profitable, none the less.
