A1200NG Updates

Given that you are correct this "Orange Pi" board which can be had for around 20quid, well it makes this look like a 180 quid breakout board bundled with some regurgitated software available elsewhere for next to nothing. Well lets just say when you break it down - its money for old rope.

This isnt the "Next Generation" amiga that is marketing speak.

I think i would have preferred something more along the lines of the 1200 reloaded board so that you could choose your cpu via the edge connector.
That way you could use an Orange PI , a blizzard 1260 , a vamp v2/v4 , or a PiStorm32. It feels proprietary and not designed to foster
community with other projects which it oh so could have done.

Is it just my old age or has the amiga community become more grabby and less collaborative over the years?

[polyp2000]

I agree , listen to what they are saying - know this is a cash-grab and nothing more. It does nothing to foster community
If you want to put a Single Board Computer , eg raspberry pi / orange pi whats wrong with a keyrah or something similar.

Lets face it this board is like a keyrah thats hobbled by a proporietary connector.

Is it me or does this look fishy ?

Second zoom of the motherboard seems to be populated with components that dont seem to look like the other components on the board. In fact they look like they have been badly photoshopped on , with no labels on the mother board or traces to the components.

I wouldnt pre-order anything until Amiga Kit explain this.
