I agree with the OP, while I'm happy to see anything new happening in the Amiga scene, ultimately Minimig is an A500 (in FPGA), which is cool and interesting and all, but it's still just an A500 spec' system.
At best, Minimig would be a short-term novelty/hobby project for someone like myself, it isnt going to see frequent use after its built and set up.
I'm happy for those folks who still have time for their classic hardware and still enjoy it enough to have it set up ready for daily use. That feeling passed on a long time ago for me. In my opinion, Amiga is now not much more than an interesting chapter in the history of computer tech', all of the original hardware & software engineers are happy to leave it at that, why cant everyone else?
