I wonder what the policy for electronics disposal in China is?  It would be interesting to have someone get some of these supposed Amiga clones out of China as the Chinese people upgrade to other systems and start getting rid of their Amiga Clone machines.  But then we don't really know how many of the clone Amigas were ever produced, or does anyone know?

If for no other reason than replacement parts in the future and novelty, it would be great to see them.  I would like to know how many different Chinese Amiga models were ever really produced and sold.

According this:

There is one amiga user in china so who you are and could you try to dig some information about thise amiga clones?

[tokyoracer]

They are rather interesting, are these actually clones that have the rights to go into production or are they knock-offs? I can't imagine NEC ever ripping something off but if they did it shouldn't be of a poor quality knowing them.
