    Does "Imagine a beowolf cluster of these!" sound familiar to anyone.

    Over 100 comments posted and it still hasn't come up. Yeesh. /. is really slipping.

    Did anyone ever get their hands on the UNIX version before the company went down?

    Someone talked about this somewhere in the replies, but I thought it was a really great idea.... The Amiga chipset was created way back in the early 80's. The entire hardware including an 040 could probably be reduced to a single custom chip. It would be great to have an Amiga PDA, with the real hardware/OS and all the great Apps and games. It's perfect... It would be a really cool PDA even before newer apps are developed for the platform. Who owns the rights to the old chipset?
