1.Should this project go for a normal ATX PPC motherboard with PowerVR gfx custom chips or its own motherboard?


I dont know, but it if it had its own motherboard it would need a custom case which makes it much more expensive. So (micro) atx seems to be the only option.

2.Should this new so-called Amiga, use AmigaOS v4 or MorphOS?

I fear you will have to ignore a lot on this thread ;-) The best option for this project might be Aros because it doesnt cost anything. But if you plan to name it Amiga6000/5200/etc then it must (also) run AmigaOS imho.

3.Should this new Amiga have Zorro slots, or not?


No its obsolete. Everything other than pci is insane. Commodore planned to replace the zorro slots with pci, too.

6.How should this Amiga keyboard be? 96 keys like before, or PC alike form?


Amiga Keyboard of course.

8.What sort of tower sollutions should we use? We want to continue Amiga 4000 T design and go further with this. Is this bad, or good?


Tower? If you have a custom board why not make an 1200 style case? It would be an altervative to the existing AmigaOne solutions.

9.What price would you give for such Amiga?


I dont know, but I fear most people (including me) wont be able to afford it.

11.Is Amiga NeXT a bad or good name for this project?


I dont think its a good name. It sounds even more stupid than amiga one.

12.Any comment? What sort of companies would be interested in this project? How about Dreamcast game compatibility? The option to use DC controllers for this "new" entertaining Amiga?


It would be a nice feature. But to be honest the DC is as dead as the amiga so there wont be new games either.:-(

Btw you havent said/asked anything about the cpu, why?
