Seems like we spend all our time waiting on the next big thing around here.


We are? I've only been waiting for exactly this for years, ever since Minimig first appeared. I feel pretty good about the idea that I can retire my the old classic systems I have in favour of tinier and more flexible FPGA clones.

For me some sort of p96 hardware/driver makes so much more sense than "super aga". The former having a plethora of available software already that will take advantage of the hardware and established apis, the former relying on new software be created


Not really, programs that work with AGA will also work with many of the new Super AGA modes. There are plenty of advantages with Super AGA that old software will benefit from, just like there are advantes with MiniMig AGA implementation over AGA on classic hardware. Simple stuff like speed and ammount of chipram for example.

4:3 1280x1024 monitors today are a bit harder to get hold of.


They don't exist. Native 1280x1024 monitors are 5:4 which makes them unusable for any 4:3 mode, unless you're lucky and it supports letter boxing.

A 1280x1024 display on a 4:3 monitor is useless - all images and graphics on the computer are assuming square pixels - why would anyone _want_ it to be "flattened" out to 4:3? Seriously, I have yet to encounter a native 1280x1024 monitor that doesn't have square pixels, and I wish they never existed since they're useless for any other regular mode.
