Man, I would buy this if it actually becomes available.  It's just what I've always wished would be produced - a fast Classic Amiga.

Just a couple of questions:

- is there any way one could use serial or USB MIDI interfaces with this type of board?
- is there any way to attach a real Amiga keyboard to a device like this instead of a PC USB keyboard?  It would feel just right to have an actual A2000 keyboard attached.

You can use serial port to connect to a MIDI device.


Is the Serial Port on this device fully compatible with a real Amiga serial port and devices?
i.e. the Amiga serial Port was able to achieve true MIDI baud rates (31250Kbps) whereas the PC serial Port was "locked" into several fixed baud rates which were not compatible with MIDI.

Essentially, could I take a real Amiga serial MIDI interface and use it on this new 060 MiniMig? If so - then I almost certainly will buy one.  I would want to run Bars & Pipes and other Amiga MIDI sequencers.

It's possible to implement support for real Amiga keyboard but since our human resources are very limited we hoped somebody from the community would do this.


I hope someone does this. I'll be stashing away a spare A2000 keyboard just in case.
