While I think this is cool, I didn't really see any explanation of what their products will be. Retro computers for gaming? A new Amiga computer? A Linux derived platform running on their own hardware?

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).

He did post this video a couple of days ago, but I had a hard time getting past the intro because I was cringing. Part 1 was great though.

I feel like somebody already tried this a few years ago. I vaguely remember there being an Atom powered C64. I wonder what their product line will be like this time.
