Interesting…. Amigakit version of a Re-Amiga 1200 perhaps? Interest peaked….

Well looking at this:

I’m a bit disappointed personally. Why? I was expecting something like a fully rebuilt A1200 but instead of the expensive now getting rarer customer chips chips. This would be a FPGA type board that will still allow for the current A1200 plug ins to be used such as Accelrator cards etc.. with the ability to still use KS physical ROMs. Where you are free to use the AmigaOS of your choosing.
I sort of get the concept around why this is being released. But unfortunately for me this is not what I would be buying on this occasion.
Still I applaud Amigakit on at least giving the end user a choice. Not everyone is a Sheldon Cooper type but instead a person who might just want to dabble part time in building a computer and just switch on and use it…

Do you offer all of the components to build an A1200NG?

I see where you are going with this. Just like Sinclair offered kits to build their ZX80 and Zx81 machines back in the day.
The only issue I see there, would be support if it doesn’t work once built… Unless you want that good old before the Internet experience 😉
