I'm not talking about nececarrily designing another clone BESIDES the xtos project. What I meant is that each time a (hard or software) developer decides to quit with atari, the atari scene is left with a lack; a gap that cannot be filled up anymore because the lack of knowledge with young programmers, hardware designers who remember the atari ST product line from the time they were 12 years old themselves.
I guess programmers/designers don't develop atari stuff because they expect to make a lot of mony, so why don't they put a lot of their sources or even documentation on the internet, so that others can keep up the pace.
Sure, a PCI enabled falcon is nice, a eclipse is on my whishlist too. But this will not save the atari scene, because because of it the tos marketshare is not to be increased.
And I hate to say it, but you can hardly find a 3D PCI card anymore. AGP is easier to find nowadays, although I agree that we don't need AGP because PCI is fast enough.
