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

Adding a slot for Gfx cards does give the advantage of using different tech, or upgrades.

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

I'd talk to the developers first.

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

No.

4.  Would you like to see Amiga connectors for ZipStick compatibility and Amiga mouse comp.?

What is ZipStick?

5. What sort of Amiga keyboard connector is the best sollution? USB only support? PS/2 alike connector like on Amiga 4000? PS/2 connector?

USB, PS/2 is obsolete.

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

Just use a PC keyboard.

7.  Should we go for PowerVR 2 or PowerVR 3 for the prototype?

I'm still wondering about the PowerVR, there were screenshots in the other thread but my first generation Radeon is vastly better quality and it's nearly 3 generations behind!

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?

I wouldn't copy anyone elses design.

9.  What price would you give for such Amiga?

I'd put good money on the average desired price beign several times lower than the manufacturing cost.

10. We've come up with Amiga 5200, Amiga 5600 and even Amiga 6000. What should the name be of this new Amiga?

Omega O 5000

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

I think there's a few answers to this one already...

12.  Any comment? What sort of companies would be interested in this project?

Probably not many.

12.(B) How about Dreamcast game compatibility? The option to use DC controllers for this "new" entertaining Amiga?

Expensive, difficult and er, Why?

Why not add Amiga games compatibility?  You'll need a big CPU and a license to Amiga Forever, you might actually sell a few of those...
