Going down a bit of a rabbit hole on modern Amiga stuff after looking up the tracker OctaMED and finding out it got a new version LAST YEAR after no development since 1996. And the new version was only released on a particular Amiga emulation box

Supposedly it was going to be released as a download on an Amiga app store owned by the publisher which runs on OS 4, which is only for PowerPC Amigas, which is the next gen post-68k architecture that people have been trying to make happen pretty much since Commodore went under

These things are still being developed! It looks like the latest one was the A1222+ which also came out last year and costs somewhere north of a grand but it is An Amiga with a 1.2GHz dual core CPU and 4GB of RAM

The emu box I mentioned is the A600GS which is ARM based & it seems to use their own frontend on top of AROS which is an open source reimplementation of the AmigaOS API and not connected to OS 4 which is closed source & based on the original Commodore code. AROS also has an Eric Schwartz mascot
