Yeah, it's a shame he's developing it for OSX though as if it were targetted towards generic POSIX systems it might get more interest from other coders.

It's only marginally interesting as you can do pretty much the same thing using existing software.
 
The way he's doing it has pro's and con's, he'd be better off tweaking what is already there.

AAA was to be something of a bridging solution between ECS and Hombre... Instead AGA was rushed out (despite what anyone says, it's little more than a bug fixed ECS) as commodore was losing money hand over fist and marketed as a new generation...

But ultimately the Amiga line would have ended with AAA, hombre was the future... There are suggestions by various engineers that the Amiga operating system would have been ported over... But C= execs wanted WinNT.
i always wanted a new amiga with a newchipset  ..one of the reasons i liked the new idea of natami as it wouldve been a real upgrade ..no ppc  but better graphics etc..
i really liked the voodoo cards  too ..had all the versions ..still got 2 or 3 voodoo 2s  a voodoo 3  an 4  an a voodoo 5 i need to do a small solder too ..got the voodoo 5 to maybe one day use it with the ppc  expansion board ..but realized its agp..guess im just sentimental..
A500 3.1/8meg/2gigscsi ...wants a 040
CD32/SX1/FMV/FLASHDRIVE/  wants sx32pro
A1200  os3.5 030/50/fpu/mmu/2flashdrives/cd/   indivision coming ..............wants a ppc/060  ACCEL :laughing:

If Hombre would been finished on time (by having the right budget). Would it have provided a sales success at the price point if could been sold at?

There's no slow computers,, just to little money to buy them ;)

any questions about Hombre should be addressed to the Dr himself.
