Guys... the 'classic Amiga' is now dead. It's official.

I don't see why there are so many trying to bring back the old 68000 platform. They'll probably want to PowerPC upgrades for it next...


If you want a funky alternative platform, one exists. And, it's fast and modern.

Why not buy a Pegasos! It runs any of my Amiga software that actually matters, plus it works with a crap load of standard hardware.

You're old Amiga's are not going return back to life any time soon. Get over it! :-)

Hey, no squashing peoples' dreams, here!  ;-)

Still, do you really want a machine based on the same hardware, or just a system that looks like the original Amiga?  OS4 looks enough like OS3 for my tastes (or rather, a bit too much).

If you want a machine that will run old Amiga software without emulation, you're asking for trouble.  Even if you de-solder some original chips from a real Amiga and build a new motherboard, getting compatibility will be a real pain.  Note the number of Amiga apps and games that don't even run on real Amigas without several reboots.  :-)
