I'm a classic Amiga enthusiast but this project fails to resonate with me. One can purchase original Amiga computers and hardware and run the old software just fine. Why would anyone want to replicate the motherboard with the original chips?

Same here. If I were to buy an Amiga today I would expect a modern computer with an Amiga feel. Something that's a bit like Linux but without the bloat and complexity. Come to think of it, OS X is the closest.

I'm with you. I have the A1200 I bought as a teenager and have recently acquired an Amiga 2000 that I'm in the process of restoring and upgrading. A new motherboard doesn't interest me as much as new CPU cards or other expansions to classic machines.
