Duct tape is a generic product, the name can't be trademarked.  Duck tape is a trademarked brand of Duct tape....

Wow I didnt think this thread would drag out like this, I was excited at the fact that i could wipe the dust off my old Amiga Floppys and use them again.
 


You already can if you're running OS4 (but you need a Catweasel)....

What I find interesting about Natami is that I took about 10 months off from the Amiga forums (logged back in today), only to see that Natami has yet to be released.  I still have some optimism about the project, though.

I think they're waiting for the Minimig AGA to be released to copy their code.  ;)

It's a hobby project. I do not believe it will ever be commercially available. Supposing it is it will be pretty lame and not worth the money.
The window for a super AGA Amiga is passing while AROS is going full steam.

That window will always be open at my house.  Besides, the two projects are not competing with one another.  Advancement of AROS, especially 68k AROS, only helps the Natami.

Yes a fully functional AROS would be great as we can have a new KS rom without checking copyrights with Amiga IP owners. This is a big deal. Opensource or Shareware Amiga KS rom. Good for MiniMIG, Natami, etc.

I understand why you make your first point, since they've been working on Natami since 2005 (earlier?)   How you can call the final Natami concept lame -- that is something I cannot understand coming from an Amiga enthusiast.

Most of the Amiga electronic components are 20 years old or so and held together with duck tap.

I don't have any duct tape in my amiga. Or Rawl plugs for that matter.

This. Hobbyist efforts are not a zero-sum game. What benefits one project can easily benefit others, as long as the teams involved aren't trying to wage turf wars against each other.

As for commercial availability, I think it would depend on whether they go into it with aspirations of making a lot of money, or just sharing what they've created. If they're trying to make a lot of money (like certain other hobbyist projects,) they'll likely over-price it and lock out all but the die-hard enthusiasts willing to spend, say, 1800 EUR just to have a new Amiga-compatible. If, on the other hand, they don't walk around with dollar signs in their eyes and focus more on just getting it available, I could see that working.

Sure I read somewhere that it would probably cost about the same as a SAM

Perhaps you should go to the actual Natami forum for an update rather than make a baseless remark?

I thought that this would be possible but the Minimig license renders it unusable by the team.  Yes, I've asked this on the forum.

The reality is that the board went from 4-layer to 6-layer to add onboard add Gbit-ethernet and USB.  Hence, going from LX to MX has taken longer than originally planned.  A PCI slot was removed and 2 more memory chips were also added...

...but I suppose someone looking for actual answers would have gone to the official forum and discovered this for themselves...

No one wants to buy a computer today that can't get online out of the box...the Natami team included.
