You may wonder why I am bothering - I am not interested in the slightest in AmigaOne. I suspect there are lots of likeminded people. AmigaClassic is THE only Amiga for me.
Ayep. Thought as much. And why is the classic design 'THE only Amiga for you'? Because of the hardware? Then why bother redesigning it to fit into an mini-ITX form factor when there is nothing worthwhile to expand the system with? Why bother putting a Mediator, PS/2 ports, 31 kHz video output and a lousy 50 MHz 68060 on it when the obvious solution is to simply stick to what is already here, has all the features you desire (with a CPU ten times as fast), and has been shown to work, i.e. A1 or Peg2?
My point is that people should at bloody long last accept that the classic Amiga hardware is dead. You can still use the machine, and if it does what you want and you're happy with it, great. Hope you have a good time. A redesign might have worked in 1994. It won't in 2004. Asking for it is a pointless and futile excercise: people are not interested, it's too expensive, and doesn't remove the machines inherent limitations which are becoming a grating nuisance.
Helpful hint: on amigaworld.org, a nostalgic article has appeared about migrating to a Peg2 and leaving behind the 'true' Amiga. Perhaps you should read it and ponder about it for a while.
