Armiga Project A modern look to one of the greatest computers in history.

Personally, I hope they make this and get it 100% A500 compatible. I'm looking for a way to let my sons easily explore what Amiga was. Emulation and other systems are fine for me but I think this with the automatic ADF system might just be the ticket.

Personally, I understand why so many Amigans avoid new unproven projects but I don't understand actively trying to keep something from happening. It doesn't look like this would hurt our community in any way. In fact if anything it might encourage those who are a little less technically inclined to consider giving retro gaming on an Amiga a try.

I'd consider picking one up if they were on the market but I'm leery of committing funds to a non-shipping product myself.

So they're hoping to make something that my Minimig has been able to do for years (apart from having a real floppy drive)?

Nice case though.

Well yes but with HDMI, Ethernet(FTP), USB(thumb drive ADF support and other USB devices), floppy with auto ADF(as you mention and non-copyprotected right now), and for my sons Android which they both enjoy using as well. Finally as you mention a nicely designed case that has a great retro feel to it.

I certainly understand this isn't for everyone but I'm always surprised by how some, not specifically you Darrin, don't want to see products come out. It sounds like they actually have working units already as opposed to being a vaporware project.

I for one am happy to see anything that might bring others to enjoy our great Retro hobby. Who knows someone might be inspired to go on and change technology to bring back the spark that I think is missing today.
