C-USA is not a scam but rather some people trying to get into the computer hardware business. After thinking a lot about this, I have some problems.

Some time ago, C-USA where anounced. Someone posted to aros dev-list about it.
Noone showed real interest. Why ? cause there was no real communication about what they wanted.

What is their plan ? Not a single person in AROS world knows. They just made an anoucement to include AROS.

They made a statment where they said they have little finance to support AROS now, but will look into that in the future.

It is the never ending money story. Everyone wants to make money but not use any.

They for sure have to get hold of someone doing drivers for their hardware, cause it is no way everything is supported. I doubt they can find many outside AROS land that can do that. At least that would be very expensive.

It kind of looks like they are trying to find people here that like to buy their hardware, cause of the name. They might have tought that was smart, but the people here are not exactly novice users. No harm for them to do so anyway. There are always some Commodore, Amiga enusiasts that will do just that. I would just not exect any big money comming in cause of that.

I still wish them all the best and hope I'm wrong, but things looks rather unserious.
