If you have no references to offer to verify these claims, then it's
nothing more than vaporware.
By the way, I have an original working Amiga 1000, 80 MB hard disk,
2.5 MB RAM, with kickstart ROM upgraded to 2.0. Original 1080
monitor. Anybody have an idea what it's worth? I don't know if
it's a museum piece, useful to someone, or if I should take it to
electronics recycling. I got a lot of good use out of it until
about 2001, when I stopped using it.

It's true there isn't a set top box, instead 5 companies are in talks
to develop the next stage in computing. Ted Nelson(XANADU) is a
awesome computer who realises that the current computer hardware is at
best a compromise. As we all know the ideal computer as always been
the Amiga with its pre-emptive multitasking and fantastic graphics. I
think an Amiga Set Top Box would sell around £555. Its rich game, demo
and applications could be re-engineered to this new Amiga.
