Why the interest in the MiniMIG?

It is cool, but still just an A500-ish spec' machine, if you get a kick out of this kind of thing, Minimig will no doubt appeal to some degree.

Personally, Id prefer something a bit more powerful as a hobby box.

I think Minimig is something for the remaining Amiga hardware enthusiasts to cling to, beyond that, it isnt going to reach a much wider audience due to expense, low performance and difficulty of setup.  Anyone wanting to play Amiga games will probably use UAE and anyone wanting to play with FPGAs will use any one of the cheap, powerful and well supported off-the-shelf solutions.

It is still cool though, in a niche-y/geeky kind of way.  Amiga nuts with a penchant for build-yer-own, where the journey is the fun will love it.
