Yes, yes..."We can make it right this time and it will be our salvation".

I have heard that before.

That is not how computer systems evolve, constantly trying to refine old hardware platforms.

Instead new ideas are added in that improve the product.

Look at the Mac, not 68K based, not PPC based, now X64 based.
With FreeBSD underpinnings that are totally dissimilar to the original core.
BUT, the look and feel are there.

In fact, if asked to choose, I'd always take the more evolved package.

Further, the 68K and the Amiga chipset are both so dated that no matter how much you try to supplement them they will still be somewhat archaic.

AND some of those people you have mentioned have strung the community along for years.
When is the Natami going to be released?
Probably at the same time as the SharkPPC and the new improved version of WarpOS.

Finally, do you really think that new ASICs are going to be created to carry on the legacy of...well legacy hardware?
Why not follow Apple's lead and forego custom designed chips and buy 'off the rack'?

Like this one Jim?

Aww, do not be so sad, they are online all over the Internet - just download the PDF. I have some hard copies, but that is more for sentimental reasons, for all these manuals I rather find them online than dig out the book. Bonus feature, PDFs online are typically OCRed and are to some extent searchable.

If posting this link have me banned here, it would be the exact kind of "law mongering" I am talking about. And in the meantime everyone are happily sharing so called "commercial software" on the "zone" over at EAB and wherever, and nobody really cares, as long as we don't talk about it too much.

Enjoy.

Yes - share and enjoy.

My example was merely from pressing "I feel lucky" when googling the title that was mentioned, hehe
