Amiga Ressurection! (?)

A little nastalgia, perhaps...

I used to be a fan of the Amiga (long ago, in a galaxy far away...), but until recently, haven't heard much about this platform. It seems assets were purchased by a company in the U.K. and they have the new hardware ready to ship. It will come with a flavor of Linux. The Amiga OS 4.0 will ship sometime next year. More links are embedded in the article that will take you to more specific information.

I wonder if they can be overclocked.

I think so. At least they bought part(s) of the company. I don't know if they resold it, or just bought certain technology that this other company is not using.

I still have my amiga 500 in my attic.. Screaming 1 Mb ram (with internal clock )No hard drive 2 floppys, one internal and one external(I could never write to the external oh well, I managed) and a commador monitor....I think I still have my Star dot matrix printer as well...and the whole thing still works (well, it did about 3 years ago...)

Plus a whole sh*t load of games for it..

mmmm.. workbench 3.1... memories

I don't think it will be the same....

Seems more like a 'We bought the Amiga name & will be shipping mac clones under "Amiga"'
