I wonder how clone A is doing

I guess that leads me to ask what IndivisionAGA is

Have you been sleeping the past couple months, or are you kidding?

IndivisionAGA is a brand new internal scandoubler for the A1200 that outperforms any scandoubler that has come before it for any Amiga.  Very much anticipated and wanted, I believe it was first announced almost a year ago.

I can't wait to get one for my A1200/060 soon (hopefully at AmiWest 2008)

Wow your minimig runs all A500 software perfectly, and it can save too?

I'm impressed!

If you have been keeping up with the new core developments for the MiniMig, you would know that writing to the adf image files is now possible so saving data, or in effect writing to the mounted virtual floppy disk has been fixed.

You should be "impressed"!

I hate to even say this, and I am sure the Clone-A will be a great and amazing product if/when it gets here, but to be perfectly honest, if I were Jens, I would be looking very hard at the return on his investment of time and money to complete the Clone-A project and then try to calculate the cost to produce it, the demand from the community, and his anticipated return on said investment of time and money.

With the MiniMig doing so well, will another A500 clone sell in the numbers needed to make enough money to cover the production costs?

Where I could see the Clone-A product succeeding is as a tiny component add-on to a future next generation Amiga-like computer running AmigaOS4.x, or MorphOS3.x, where the Clone-A component serves as a hardware substitute mapped to provide full backward compatibility with all 68k applications and games without the need for UAE, or any other type of emulation.

Just my two cents on the Clone-A product.
