There is about a 0 in 0 chance of this actually happening.

I too doubt that it would be possible, but I mailed the guy, just in case.
The Problem isn`t building such a machine, there were 68k MACs more then 10 years ago. The Problem is the pricetag. The Page looks quite serious, but then again the IWin hoax looked good as well.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Somewhere between zero to none. A quicl glance at the site does not show the names Jeri Ellsworth or Jens Shoenfeld. Those are the only 2 capable people in this market.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Wouldn't it be far cheaper and simpler to run Amithlon on a currently-produced notebook? Don't get me wrong, the idea from that website is nice, but... Is there really a market for a 68k Amiga, at the price of a laptop? It might be even cheaper to produce a laptop from a standard A600 or A1200 mobo.

I am typing this message from an A4000 because I already own it for quite some time, but if I was to pay expensive for an Amiga nowadays, I'd think carefully.

Hmm, 0 into 0 is mathematically undefined (you can get it to equal whatever you want without circumventing any established rules). I'd say there was actually a N in 0 chance of it actually happening ;-)

The site is so vague that it is laughable.

An Amiga M68K notebook would have made sense in the early to mid 1990s.  Now, it is a money loser for sure.

a 68060 Amiga notebook... doubtful
a 68000, 68020... no way

I would take them more seriously if it was for a Coldfire notebook, or a PPC notebook.  Those would be more believable.  Everything about this website shouts "Iwin"

N is endless so I guess that's kinda a division by zero (wich delivers N: N/0=N)

wonder what a division by "don't care" (or also known as "nil") will come up with :lol:
And the canary said: \'chirp\'
