Amiga Pi
« on: February 02, 2015, 02:22:37 PM »
The Raspberry Pi is just about to become the highest selling computer in the UK. I would be interested to know how this tiny marvel could be integrated into an Amiga cus in truth if it could be used to run my 1200 and give it more power then my goodness how wonderful would that be.

More about the fun of it and being able to use my Amiga 1200. One of the passing comments in the report on one of the YouTube items is that it can be used to run Amiga software. The unit is very small. I like small kit.

Anyway I will do some further research. Looks great and also very very cheap. And I can get one easy off Ebay.

PS There really is no challenge with PC towers.

Seems like folk enjoy going back to their Amigas when they have the opportunity to breath new life into their computer interest. This little computer seems like it wants folk to muck around with it, unlike the modern tablets and the like. Kinda takes you back to the days when computing meant something other than Internet browsing and Facebook. Yawn.
