Re: MiniMig with AGA

Im sure this has been covered many times already, but Ive only casually been following minimig. Hypothetically if I bought one today, what would I have in amiga terms ? Are the currently available systems ocs/ecs still, or is aga available to the end user already ? Also, I see on Amigakits site there's mention of a 50mhz mode ? I was actually under the impression the cpu was a "real" 68000 cpu?
Long story short, Im interested in a minimig, but impatient :) What would I lose if I bought one today vs. waiting for (going by this thread what appears to be) a new version? Also, what upgrade options are availalbe, both now, and planned in the future ?
Thanks.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Thanks for the response, but the thing is I have no interest in other cores. My only interest in minimig (or similar) is in having new "amiga" hardware. I have no classic system at the moment and am right now in the process of trying to buy one, but as Im sure a lot of you are aware classic amiga gear isnt really available in large supplies, which is why minimig is currently on my radar. Additionally all I really need is something akin to a moderately upgraded system ('020 + fast type speeds or thereabouts, more would be nice, but not essential). AGA would be preferable, but not absolutely necessary.
I guess another big factor for me is it's pretty much now, or never. I wont have the money in a few weeks, so I want something now, or in the very near future.
Also, being that almost without fail when I consider pointing out things, but decide against it, the thing Im thinking gets suggested, I should point out that I want a dedicated "amiga" system, so UAE or it's variants wont fill the gap for me (already have amithlon + aros machines, so I can run amiga software, it's just not what Im chasing).

edit: between the time I first started typing the post and finishing it another response came along that clarified things, so unless anyone wanted to elaborate and/or fill any gaps in info they think are missing, the info I was looking for has been given to me. Thank you to those that helped me here :)

I'm interested in the coco3 fpga port and c64 ports ;)


Hell yeah, bring on the coco3  :)
Coco1 was my 1st ever computer. My brothers friend had a Coco3 and I used to love it whenever he'd stay the night and bring his coco3. Gantlet2 (no typo, the coco had many games that were clones to the point of more or less being conversions (always wondered how they got away with it)) was very cool. More or less on par with the Atari ST and Amiga versions that were released sometime later.
