Just to master the obvious:

It's INSANE to design a custom board for 2000 customers.



Might not be actually, depends on the development costs.
Even at $100 000 that's only $50 per board.

A new North bridge is another matter, at say $10 000 000 that doesn't bear thinking about.

Their best bet is the mini Mac but getting docs could prove rather difficult.

Getting docs for the Peg should be relatively trivial however, getting them to consider the peg however is a different matter altogether...

I am interested in a computer not a game machine.


Do you know how ironic that statement is?

The Amiga sold the vast majority of it's units as ...a games machine!
Guess what it was originally designed as?

--

While the GC is unrealistic it would be fine for an Amiga type OS, what's more it's now sold ten thousand* times more units than the A1 or Peg* and it's cheap.

He does have a point...



*Sales at end of 2004 were 18 millions units worldwide.

**Peg may have sold more as Linux machines but I'm referring to MorphOS based machines here.
