LOL, at this point nothing would surprise me.  :)

I have to say that withr regards to "legacy support", the one thing that I'd felt that has been missing on available Amiga-like solutions (WinUAE, Amiga One, etc) has always been the good old digital joystick ports and that's why solutions like the C-One and Minimig feel like "real" Amigas.  If there's are actual joystick ports on the production board, or headers for attaching some, or at least some sort of plug-in board then I'll definately be satisfied.

I'm really looking forward to the finished product and the spec list.

Catweasle PCI card will give you your digital joystick ports.

I find it very interesting that this new "Amiga" has strange and mysterious layout and unconventional use of the Xorro chip in addition to the main CPU.  One slot that can be used in any way imaginable?  Also the statements that imply that they want the users and third party companies to figure out what to do with this new Motherboard, not that they have already figured out how it should be used.

I like that it has possibilities for "Thinking Outside The BOX".  Maybe noting will come of it, but just maybe there is an opportunity for something good to be created.  Something different that hasn't even been thought of yet.
