Does anyone have any news about this?

First I've heard of it, but it seems to have been uploaded in 2013. Hmmm...

I have seen it live and know some guys who has it
There is no news to share, the board was completed and now the autohor has moved on to other projects. I don't remember if he ever intented to sell it but there is no such plans now.

...that sound you hear is the crying of hundreds of Amiga users, who might've purchased such a board, lol.  :p

Some discussion here.

Sounds kinda like what might have been A500 Reloaded!

Sad that it never was a "thing" but Im looking forward to
A1200 reloaded fron Jens.

So very sad!! Another promising projects dead at birth.

I talked to the guy and he got so much demands from Amigans ("add this and that!") and so much critizism for his design choices that he didn't think it was fun to make them anymore. He just wanted to make a cool A500 clone with a ZII in it, but Amigans are Amigans so they pestered him till he lost interest.

Sounds about right.
My personal favorite is still my A2000, but the first things I thought were "needs a faster cpu, AGA gtraphics, more expansion slots (ZorroIII), ..." etc.
Pity, with a change to an matx form factor, this board would be cool as is.

Maybe we can persuade him to change his mind to release the design as open hardware? That way pestering Amigans can either modify whatever they want or ask someone else.

It looks much easier to build than say, the A1000 GBA board.  All you'd need is the PCB and an old A500 to pull the parts off, for the most part.  And it would probably work with most A500-compatible accelerators (the kind that fit under the CPU), etc.

I bet if someone approached him with cash he'd open-source the board design.  

[Amigamia]

Exactly my thought Mike. It could be a kickstarter project too.

[gary2000]

I would like to buy this -even just the bare board.

The complaints come from people who have a minimig or develop for FPGA. He should not have been put off by that.
Start a donation page to restart the project.

Start a donation page to restart the project.

That's a good idea. Do you know how to start one or know anyone who knows?
