Escena and classic, -not- Eyetech Amigaones, were the goal.

We started on classic hardware, when we still thought that Escena would ever deliver anything. MAI and the Teron/AmigaOne hardware came into the picture only later in the game.

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). That would be "Ultimate PPC" of that days http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/prototypes/amigaone1.htmlhttp://www.amigahistory.co.uk/amiga1timelines.html Now remains one of first Amiga Inc related promises to fail.
even more idiotic hybrides only to justify usage of some ppc native system on amiga. if we (amiga users) want to use os4 or mos we can get dedicated hardware. why must we be persuaded so much?
