Hit the market with cheap FPGA "Minimigs" and have an online shop selling additional cores, ADFs, HDFs and expansion boards.


That, but offer a model with 2-3 PCI slots too as a "power user's" board.

(This assumes a PCI controller could be bodged onto the minimig board to make the slots active without too much trouble, otherwise, exactly that)

I like it. Use a modern 2.6.whatever Linux kernel (some kind of mainstream kernel with zillions of drivers so it runs on most anything) and build the Amiga end of it using 3.1 instead of 3.9. Plus throw in that 64bit 68K JIT compiler we need, and whatever other cool Umilator features that may exist. If the rats cry about use of 3.1, then use some of the cash to acquire resources needed to get Aros68K 100% compatible with 3.1.

Additionally, after starting the 'friend' computer company blah, blah...and reviving Amithlon, funding some Aros bouties...Cash needs to also fund some MorphOS work.


This plus the ability to compile and natively run x86/Linux apps would be nice - Firefox on 3.1, anyone :)
