> Yeah, the lack of support for off-the-shelf hardware has been the doom of the Amiga revival since day one.
The Amiga was not just an OS. It was all about the custom chips that added such interesting and powerful capabilities to an otherwise unspectacular 68000. When combined with the OS, it created a system that was truly ahead of its time.
But I don't see the appeal of AmigaOS on modern hardware. Most Amiga fans are more interested in the games and demos that didn't use the OS, and used the blitter/copper etc directly.
And if you just want a faster Amiga, the PiStorm is pretty cool.
There have been firebrands attempting a revival of the Amiga since the mid 90's, and back then it was a question of making a new and modern platform -- not watching demos.
Today is a different matter, of course. Personally, emulation is more than enough for me.
