I don't know if an Amiga port of NQC has already been done, but if not
it shouldn't be very difficult. Grab the sources from
http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc/index.html
The only real "porting" is access to the serial port, which is
abstracted in a single class. If the Amiga has POSIX style interface to
the serial ports, then the Unix implementation should work fine. If
not, you just have to implement basic open/close/read/write type of
methods for the serial port.
If you get an Amiga version running (or find someone who already has),
please send me the URL so I can link to it from the NQC site.

p.s. Owned an Amiga a long time ago. Neat box, but just never caught
on.
