Quote from: Xerra on August 29, 2024, 20:39:58I'd prefer an actual A1200 size Amiga, when they do the full size variant, but they'll probably adopt the A600 size but it will be a retro A1200 inside. The A500 was way too big of a beast to be practical now, so I think that's definitely out of the window.

Whatever it is, I'm in. I loved my Vic20, my C64, and all the Amiga's I ever ended up owning. Take my money.
The A1200 is what my heart wants but being sensible an A600 is the perfect size and I'd be happy with that. They could easily have it emulate an A1200 and more. I've the full sized Vic20 which looks fantastic on my desk :)) I can happily just stare at the boot screen for nostalgia :P 
Mac Studio M1 Max ( 10 core CPU - 24 core GPU ), 32GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD,
Beelink SER7 Mini Gaming PC, Ryzen 7 7840HS 8-Core 16-Thread 5.1GHz Processor, 32G DDR5 RAM 1T PCIe 4.0 SSD
ASUS PG27AQDM 27" OLED 240hz monitor

Until the next time.

mainsworthy

If I ever get around to a 'man-cave', I'll have my A1200 gracing my desk next to my PC. Some of the capacitors on my A1200 might get jealous of my turn-coat to some Windows Silicon based circuitry, so I might google how to 're-cap' my A1200 before much longer. Coded on the original Speccy, made battleships in ZXBasic - quite good it was to - but I've no longing to go back to that though.
