I've been away a long time - been given an A1200, so thought I'd check in. I see that Amiga is still in a legal limbo bla bla bla...
Surprised to see that AROS on RPi has yet to be fully realised. Then a patreon gets started to do just that - https://www.patreon.com/michal_schulz/overview - by a dude who has the capability and capacity to deliver.
I have to put my $ where my mouth is - and have become a Patreon.
However, a port of AROS to RPi is not enough... to go mainstream, there needs to be branding / marketing / an eco-system to attract users... through the RPi this could be the route to tens of thousands of users... or more!
People need to buy an "Amiga" - and it just works out the box.
I don't know the state of play regarding trademarks / patents - but a modern looking, Amiga branded RPI case, complete with the embossed AMIGA.
I can see some kind of foundation to push this forward... So AmigaOS is unlikely to become open source, but AROS is... and if the case / packaging / branding can be Amiga (as last time Amiga etc trademarks existed elsewhere?) then we're halfway there?
Is that possible?
