SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Not me, my 1200 is still cutting the mustard with its 'stock' innards.  It'd be like a ferrari kit car with a toyota celica as its underpinnings.....

Anybody else?

Finally found a working keyboard for the A500 mini.  There seems to be one for the C64 mini as well

Great work - I'm hanging in there for an A1200 mini - although thats going to be a while I suspect!

The Amiga Maxi (fully working keyboard) will be coming in 2025, and yes it will run in a 1200 mode too!

Is it a full size A500, or A1200 version?

Nobody seems to know that, internally it'll function as an A500 or A1200 though. I'm guessing to keep the size and cost down they'll go with an A600 form factor.

It cant function like an A1200 as it has different Chips inside? Unless the Mini A500 is an FPGA type setup? Which means it could be anything you program it to be.

I have seen an A1200 in an A600 case which is nice! You have to chop and solder the 3x3 corner back onto the board so it sits in the case

I think the shrunk down versions are good!? Don't get me wrong i mean shrunk down to a sensible size where it's still functionable and easy to use!? Just Saying "LIKE" "LIKE"

So, is it Like a A1200, Like?

No it's just an emulation box that can handle the A500 and A1200, just like the mini version did - except this will have a working keyboard. If it was a FPGA system it would be very much more expensive.

Hi Steve what do you mean by an Emulation Box. Is it a PC or something inside!? Any chance i could see a picy of the inside?

Think I've gained a better appreciation of why a BLitz Basic2.1 project failed to compile as I expected within an emulator a while back. Think I was expecting a trifle too much from a software emulate Miggy 1200!
