Does Natami satisfy Classic Amiga enthusiasts?

It's what, two years out of when they said they'd have dev machines released?

Ah well it's not like they're doing pre-sales or anything, can't pick on 'em TOO much.

What makes me laugh, is that a single guy create the MiniMig and then open sourced the project.   How hard would it have been for someone with some money to have updated it (eg ACube, AmigaKit) and sold it as a classic replacement in a branded MiniITX case.

Yea, but I think it needs more than 68000+ECS to be interesting. The MiniMig with 68020+AGA and a low price could sell in the thousands. Heck, if they were under a couple of hundred bucks, I would buy some for Christmas presents . I think this price is possible for a simple fpga produced in the thousands. I think this would leave room for power users wanting the Natami or CloneA too. It would all be good for bringing back interest in the classic Amiga and expanding the user base even if many are just gamers. Enough of these gamers and there would be a few more new games. That's how it restarts.

Everything gets delayed in Amiga land.  I think it's a law.
I'm interested in all of the FPGA amiga clone projects, and I'm hopeful that there will be something available in the near future that can fully replace any and all classic amigas.

Since they aren't taking anyones money, I can't find much fault with their approach. If it sees the light of day, I'll buy one definately. I like the spirit of their project: Not to create some sort of theoretical mainstream computer but a fun "what if" amiga machine.

Everything in Amiga Land is also so confused. A myriad of independent projects are currently running, baffling potential customers.

Personally, I`m on standby. Will be using my old classic A1200 till the myst clears up!!
