Thinking through this logically......
Amiga are a software company (self declared), it is in their interest that
the software they produce runs on as many hardware platforms as
possible.......
....of course that will only extend as far as the law of diminishing returns
allows - it has to be economically viable.
This is the simple case, there are all sorts of variables in here:
1. If Amiga get a license deal for every AmigaOne (or indeed any of the
other 4)sold....they will promote this platform
2. Presumably they expect to sell more than 5,000 copies of AmigaOS 4.x and
AmigaOnes...since one of the reasons quoted for not supporting PowerUp
boards directly was volume in the market....
It`s an interesting question :-)
