.Amiga isn't economy at all..It's a tiny computer hobby community with enthusiastic developers and hardware producers..... What is economy in Mediator, ACA cards, RAM memory from AmigaKit, Majsta's tireless work over 2 years to bring FPGA (Vampire600)?... Volumes are to low..

PPC for Classics was a false economy when Eyetech was formulating the AmigaOne back in 2002 that is why they went with a stand-alone machine. Things haven't changed today. If you have an old Blizzard/CyberstormPPC board then you get to try AmigaOS4.1 and then hopefully you'll see the need to upgrade to the faster and more stable version on next-gen hardware. It is simply not worth anyone's while getting a PPC board for Classics in order to run OS4.1 as an alternative to next-gen hardware. Get a Sam or the X1000 instead.
While I can agree that prices of such cards are close to price of PPC full mobos, while they do leave many bottlenecks of Classics, they do make a bridge for OS 3.9 lovers willing to use OS 4.1/MOS too on same computer.
603/604 CPUs and much RAM have been a down limit to MOS and OS 4.1, but I do remember AmigaOne cards were promised with G3 and G4. I do believe Eyetech was simply not up to the task (as they purchased cheap and defective PPC board design instead of doing their own).
