A1200NG Updates

Looking good. So this board can fit inside a standard A1200 case then?
If this does fit a standard Commodore, ESCOM or A1200.net case. Any reason why the NIC module sits where you would find the Amiga 1200 expansion port?

Why not ?

Since there is no real expansion port and this is the main unit of the device (Orange Pi Zero 3) it fits perfect there I think

HDMI Breakout Board/Cable comes with the A1200NG as seen in the picture

Given that you are correct this "Orange Pi" board which can be had for around 20quid, well it makes this look like a 180 quid breakout board bundled with some regurgitated software available elsewhere for next to nothing. Well lets just say when you break it down - its money for old rope.

This isnt the "Next Generation" amiga that is marketing speak.

No one forces you to buy one

Why not have a choice between the 2? Unless you are saying the original pi orange module is better than a PiStorm with a Pi4 or CM4? Then can understand your scepticism.

Because the connectors on the A1200NG only fit the Orange Pi Zero 3

A big missed opportunity me thinks. Oh well, be interesting to see how this one goes.

Don´t think so, the Orange is faster than the Pi3B+ and only a little bit slower than the Pi4B ... you won´t recognize the difference in the emulated Workbench

Or does it, .

Of course you may have some insights on this, but there is no Raspi with that kind of GPIO pinout afaik ! But hey, you could use some sort of adapter, nothing is impossible
