I'm all for people trying to build nonstandard computers independent of PC/Mac technology. Some of them may end up being pretty cool.

They won't be Amigas, though.


Exactly.  Minimig is a good option for retro gaming.  For Amiga desktop experience, go with common hardware.  Amiga was a magnificent achievement back in the days when the chipset had to be multiple chips since the technology would not support a single chip.  That was 25+ years ago, let's get with reality.  If you want PPC, the only real option is either an old Mac or buy EFIKA.  Or go x86/x86_64 route like ASUS EEE PC.  I like to see the day when ARM based portables will be a real option.

It's about the OS, hardware is just hardware.

Is there any word on when MorphOS 2 will be ready? (Aside from "When it's done," that is.)


No clue on MOS.  AROS for EFIKA should be done this year, perhaps sooner then later.   Before Tigger left for his vacation, he said he was making advancement in the porting for this bounty.
