Amiga & AROS ACK has pretty much confirmed that their high-end Amiga system will use PA Semi chips. In an IRC session, Adam of ACK replied to the question how ACK was going to build a system faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PPC side: "Think PA Semi quad-core chips." Adam also said ACK started talks with PA Semi about a year ago, while also promising specifications of the high-end system to be released coming Monday.

While the idea of putting Amiga on old Macs may sound appealing there are two problems with this: Will someone go on eBay and buy an old Mac to run the Amiga? A small fraction might but not that many.

Second, Amiga would have to reverse engineer the Macs to run their OS. Seems simpler to have your own hardware.
