Bah, crap.

It should *at least* have had on-board VGA, that way we would have had a complete "common base", following the true Amiga spirit.

I also imagined something more than a motherboard.  I figured it would be in a minimalistic (small) case, ready for BYOKMM (Bring Your Own Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor).
