@jkirk

Don`t worry, tell them you dreams, feel better

There is a fact chance they actually turn ideas to products

@vox

im not asking for your lengthy opinions and divagations about what cusa might do or not. just asking if you are interested in whichever of the above alternatives.
wishes to gain support of outside companies have been voiced in the past mostly by os4 supporters like you, and now i only take the apparent actual offer as opportunity to evaluate the common ground, without judging the honesty or feasibility of this particular offer.

try to see it as much as non-cusa-related as possible.

I don't think a fair poll is possible on an AmigaOS 4.x leaning site. Same would be true on a site leaning other directions. For hardware, I would like to see a mass produced and cheaper Natami with optional PCI PPC card. For software, I would like to see a standard Amiga API and AROS seems to be the only hope for that if the other factions won't work together.

Over there at Amiga.org, EDanaII suggests multiple polls:

Quote:

CPU
* M68K
* Natami M68K softcore
* PPC
* ARM
* x86/x64
* Other

Motherboard
* x86 based
* PPC sam/x1000 based
* Natami/Amiga based
* Other

OS
* AmigaOS 3.9
* AmigaOS 4.1
* MorphOS
* AROS
* Amithlon/Umilator with OS 3.9
* Amithlon/Umilator with OS 4.1 (assumed: 68k compiled version)
* Amiga-like with Linux kernel (to enable memory protection, smp, etc...)
* Any Amiga like option listed above.
* Linux
* Windows
* Other

Price
* Affordable
* Moderate
* Expensive
* Don't care.

Hardware future
* Based in the past
* Expandible for the future
* Don't care

@Franko
Huh? No "support 68k chipset/cpu in fpga compatible development, attempt to achieve an asic solution"? Think Natami with SAGA and N68k CPU in 1 chip mass produced enough to be cheap and fast. That is the direction that many other computers are moving today. It would also offer backward compatibility of classic Amigas. Expandability for ports, slots and hardware is still possible outside of the "asic".

@Matthey

i know, though ever given that this is os4 biased site, 68k being your preffered solution gains fair results.

@Senex

yes. my poll was made in hurry to offload that pointless inflamatory news thread into something less useless. edanas poll might be a better solution, though i believe its too big to construct on this site. and especially, if this site is anyway not appropriate, why isnt he opening it at aorg? polls on multiple sites would allow to evaluate interests better anyway, as every forum has its bias. perhaps best would be a site independent poll, like on the late amiga map.

errrm, just actually took a look at edana poll, it actually boils down to mine only with multiple unneccessary or impossible choices,
or whoever woul want an:

Arm machine
PPC sam/x1000 based
with AmigaOS 3.9
Expensive and
Based in the past

go figure!

In my opinion, the only way to get Amiga back to business is a Amiga mobile phone.
and they may call it the APhone.

I voted for 68K/FPGA and X86 emulation, but I think "port AOS4 to X86" would be an alternative as well.
