Jusr curious, and this might not even be the thread to ask this, but this thread brought the question to mind so I'll ask it here.

If the MiniMig is all the classic Amiga hardware coded into one chip, couldn't that chip be placed into an AmigaOne for applications that absolutely require custom chips? Then you could run system friendly apps with OS4, and old custom chip apps off the MiniMig?

I haven't entirely returned to the Amiga scene after leaving it in 2001-ish. I've got a few Amigas, but I'm waiting on some parts to repair/upgrade them before I dig in.

I've seen enough activity in the community/platform to spark a genuine interest again.

I'm sure there are more like me, and more that would return even if as a hobby as soon as it delivers on a few features like OS4 (For more than AmigaOne, or a moderately reasonably priced AmigaOne) and JAmiga/AmiZilla etc...

I'm not in a huge hurry, my 10 prior years as an Amiga user taught me that, so it's still fun to tinker with and see just how much of my computing I CAN do on the Miggy.

Nice post J-Golden ;) You hit on a lot of my fun with the Amiga as well.
