I'd have to agree with the others that suggested working with the Natami developers to make cases and funding for helping the project along.  To me the Natami is the only project out there that tries to follow in the path of the Amiga.

Either that, or dump a ton of funding into AROS for the 68k port, along with the PPC and x86.  At least that way we have a standard OS that is Amiga compatible, Open Source and runs on any of the platforms.  Hell, there could be a port for 68k Atari and Macs as well.  Sadly you can buy 68k Macs for nothing, yet at the same time the Atari and Amigas are rare and expensive.

Making a 68k platform with a faster AGA compatible chipset, like the Natami, is the real future of the Amiga, in my opinion.  Simply because AOS4 and MorphOS simply emulate the old platform.  Then I can't really judge those, since I can't use them on any available hardware.

Which comes to the other suggestion of PPC accelerators for classics, at a price that doesn't feel like I'm being raped from the wallet.
