    I’m hoping that whatever it is, it’s not a lazy cash-in. The world doesn’t need any more ARM-based Linux novelty gadgets in replica cases running emulators more or less well enough.

    Something building on Jeri Ellsworth’s FPGA-based emulation platform (commercialised in the C64 DTV joystick console) would be cool; perhaps a Commodore-branded turnkey MiSTer box with pre-licensed Commodore/Amiga ROMs and titles. That and/or developing platforms into modern equivalents (imagine a new Amiga running on ARM, with new versions of AmigaOS that have IPv6 and Unicode and all the technologies we take for granted today).
