1) ATX PowerPC970 design able to run AmigaOS4.x would be cool. Arctic I should be able to fill this void so you don't have to design the northbridge yourself. I wonder what/if software changes to AmigaOS4.x expecting AGP be needed for PCI-Express. Also, if the ATI x800 or Nvidia 6800 will work with AmigaOS4.x. --- You might need a bit of assist from Hyperion there.

2) MicroATX -- not a bad idea. As for the G3/G4 A1200 accelerator. Personally, the A1200 and A4000's are aging. As such they're closer to permanent failure and costs to build such an animal, while nice, may be better spent in building a MicroATX motherboard. I'd love to keep the A4000T forever but every thing comes to an end.

3) I'd like to see an Amiga make use of the same connector the Mac users. There's probably licensing issues involved to do this however, that may prove limiting. But, as Mac users discard their processors it'd be cool to pick up a used one for the Amiga. Consequently, you could make a faster G5 card and sell to Mac and Amiga users both.. Probably never happen but cool.

Added by me.
4) Amiga getting their OS on as many systems as possible would be a good thing such as the IBM JS20 Blade Server w/ G5 or the Apple G5 machines. Once again just a dream..

OK, I am away from home at the moment so I can't do any work on the admin side of this as I have no access to a computer for long periods of time, also I'm using windows (Yuck!) with no remotly decent software!

What I would appreciate is if people can make logo's for this project and post them here, either use your own names or those that have allready been posted, if you aren't graphically talented then sugest a name.

Once I get home I will set up a pay pal account for this and do a web site.

OK, go be creative and have fun!
