I just love guy's like these they are individuals or small group but they quietly go about doing there things unlike some companies that are all talk. Unlike other projects this is is as close to fully compatible Amiga as you are likely to get unless you have 4 Amiga's.

Can't wait for the bring up to be done hope there are not to many error/problems on the board.

But as Tripitaka said if it cost as much as my 4000 + deneb + indivision + GVP 4060 + Fast ATA MK V then i would be happy, but truth be told i don't care what the price is i am buying one. To have new hardware to run all my Amiga software on and not having to worry if my 16+ yo hardware will work tomorrow is a big weight of my chest.

Also to all the people who said Vapour ware.... :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

The best news is that with the FPGA Arcade rumoured to be around the 200 EURO mark, we now have two options like we used to back in the "glory days" when you picked between the A500 and the A2000 or the A1200 and A4000.

To me, my FPGA Arcade is going to be my games machine, especially as it will be running multiple systems (C64, Spectrum, Atari ST and classic arcade games), while the Natami is a replacement for my more "serious" A4000.

Agree with you 100%. Although the Natami is supposed to run anything from 1.3 to 3.9 i will still be using it as my heavy weight Amiga Computer. Can't wait to see those Natami only games too..

Now all we have to wait for is the testing then production.... i hope they produce enough.

Yup, this is the first piece of new hardware that I consider a real bonafide 100% Amiga.  I like all of the other options (X1000, MorphOS, UAE) but this is a REAL hardware Amiga in the classic sense.

Yep that's why i am excited!!! This is an Amiga in all but name (more then any other product out there) with AROS or OS3.9 cant wait to start programming on it....
The only real problem is a case for it... may have to dig up my woodworking tools and Dremel...

I was the one that said the comment about Vaporware and yes i know that they need to produce boards but considering people thought (and prob still do) that they would never even get to this stage because of feature creep or it was going to be difficult, (i have been watching Natami for years now so i remember all the crap people said about them....) so for them to come up with the bring up board which means its almost ready is great.
SO again i say to all those people :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
