I sent a mail to Cloanto over a year ago to see if they could do a new version. An 060/080 version, not 16 color like AKReal but a good version with true color. Response was "Huh, What?". Any news here?

Amiga forever and Amikit are different products. Cloanto have nothing to do with Amikit. Aforever is an emulation package with original commodore OSes and roms. Latest version of AForever let install Amikit-real with a click..but what you're asking for? A new amikit-style package from Cloanto?

  I have contacted Jan, he had an interest but wanted to see Vampire. Soon it turned out ordinary AmiKit X can be made to work minus FPU dependent elements by Pedro, I suppose even less effort will be needed once v2.7 and v4 full FPU will be out.
 
  Hoever, fully Vamp optimized version would require Jan to have a Vamp plus some community driven interest.
 
  I am all in, since I find it as great OS 3.9 replacement with ApolloOS as only competitor, whereby AmiKit X yet has some pluses - legally included LW and few apps, auto-update system etc.

Note:AmiKIt real is unofficial version for real Amigas. It is stuck with last free AmiKit 8.x, while AmiKit X is now commercial product.

I think Retrofan is making a script for AKreal to set it up for Vampires. I think Pedro Cotter showed something like that in the facebook group: EXTERNAL LINK

It was demonstrated in our Spanglish Amiga show.
 
  Yes, AKReal will be max updated and adjusted to Vampire,
  and might be a OS possibility of its own. But again, its based
  on AmiKit 8.x.
 
  AmiKit X could be adopted, with legal license, but currently cannot work out of box.

Pedros comment

The GUI is now much faster and fluid. Responds very well. Birdie is working now Increased the SFS cache (SFS is the Amikit default file system) Icons converted into the OS 3.5 format (faster icon loading) Testing also the SAGA power saver Tool type "NoSwitch". This puts to sleep the RTG while using the regular Amiga video output. Nice feature!
