Happy new year! Thanks for taking requests :)

Yes, a new clockport USB card would be excellent, especially if similarly sized to the Subway so as to be compatible with the A604.

Commercial-level distribution of one of those automatic RTG/native video switchers that some of the a1k.org folks have developed would be great, essentially offering passthrough for all those RTG boards that don't support it (CVPPC, Mediator, etc). Might as well wish for a new Zorro RTG card, too :)

Similarly, commercial-level distribution of one of those adapters that allow use of regular PC floppy drives as Amiga high-density floppy drives. Again, I think there were a few groups on a1k.org that made some of these.

I could also be interested in some replica CD32 controllers. It's the most-compatible 7-button joypad on the Amiga. I know the originals got a lot of flak back in the day, but I always thought the design was kinda cool - and definitely unique. The problem was Commodore's poor build quality...

On the software side, I'd like to see delfina.library updated and fixed for non-Flipper edition boards. I'd happily pay for that. And if you could acquire the distribution rights - or better, the development rights - to Envoy, that would be phenomenal. I think Easynet would look great as an Envoy .service, hint hint :)

...a program to redirect all calls to the Paula chip to AHI instead. I'd pay for that! :)


Already exists! :) But the readme suggests it's far from perfect. I don't see the point on a Classic system, though...
