'm sure the SuperAGA and the soft060 of the nataimi will be running on XMOS no problems.
Never mind that the Natami cores aren't open, but even if they were (or if the Natami team would want to port them), this just plain isn't possible. It's not the type of thing the XMOS chips are for - they're nowhere near powerful enough to emulate chips of that complexity at a reasonable speed (if at all - they're severely memory restricted).
Who is this Haynie with his negativity? Obviously the x1000 is not targeted at people like him or anything to do with him. It is targeted at the amigans.net subset that want to utilise all the modern features of the x1000 that os4 supports.
His predictions are most valuable things you can get today! He said what a normal person should take for granted. At the end of the whole story, he designed some of the most vital parts of the classic Amigas, so, I think that he knows what is the difference between night and day.
All the best to you Dave!
