What if Commodore Amiga adopted Kitchenaid and Nokia technology.

You could have an Amiga 700, with blender and push to talk technology. After you found other users who had the Nokia PTT, you could say I'm moving the switch to floppy drive mode. Then hold down the transmit button on your floppy drive and let the other person boot it up over the radio, as long as you and they held the button down.


And what game did it load? Gustavo Saucemeister. It's a game where you have to run from the refrigerator to the blender and toss fruits and vegetables in it to makes sauces. Now this is directly polled from your mouse, LMB will pulse the blender at 714 RPM. The right mouse button will click on and run continuously at 2837RPM in PAL regions. But you should use that sparingly otherwise the blender will overflow and leak onto the SMT chips.

Sounds like fun. How much for the rights?

I thought there's nothing that hasn't been said about what Commodore should have done, but this is a fresh new angle. I'm looking forward to the discussion!

The possibilities!

This truely sounds like a usecase for PA-RISC acceleration!1

I feel like this thread will go in circles.

They would need a patch to make sure Kickstart would hold in reset if ever an FPU was detected.
Furthermore they would need to make sure that no resolution beyond 320x200 was displayable if the motor on the blender was engaged. This would allow only rough control over the motor, so if used as an extra sound channel, it could not whine in tones which would be offensive.
The rocker switch for the push to talk radio would also need to have a severe spiky surface to prevent low quality tape from being applied whether in talk or data mode.

The fabeled Whirrer (patent pending).

In Europe it needs definitively be compatible to Thermomix not Kitchenaid!!!

Apparently Amiga really did adopt Nokia technology
