I think the closest thing to that is the Draco*, which was mainly made for video tasks. Then you also have two projects being worked on currently, which is basically a a500 clone in very small factor with chipset, cpu and everything in one single chip.

There was also a a1200 clone that was of the size of a floppy disk station, but sadly only a very limited number of these were produced.

Edit: It was of course the Draco.. Thanks for pointing that out

I dont think there has been a new a1200 being produced since amiga technologies :( There are however still some never opened packages of a1200 magic bundle being sold here and there.

Because our old ones wont live forever? It is already hard to find a amiga in good condition unless you pay insane amounts for it.

I myself use my a1200 for classic gaming, as there is really not emulator available that does the trick properly.
