| If it takes up as much desk space as a real A500 then I will have to give it a miss; its just not practical. A600 size (but with all keys) would be much less likely to end up being put in lofts or basements after a few weeks or months IMHO.

I figure the Amiga 500 Maxi as we now have to start calling it combined with something like Amikit sideloaded would be a welcome shot in the arm the 68K Amiga scene needs. |
It's more likely to be an A600 form factor IMHO. Maybe they'll officially partner with the Pandory/AMiNIMiga teams to unlock more IO and networking functionality?_________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |

| @A500Maxi
I agree with having a wedge case. Even if with a full Amiga keyboard layout w/ num pad, the overall case can be smaller (narrower and shorter) than the A500 boogie board.
There might be some legal aspects in not referring to it as a “Computer” and therefore calling it a “Console” instead. I don’t care what they call it as long as it walks and quacks like an A1200 with 060 + RTG + networking (sans floppy drive and ancient IO). 9-pin ports for old mouses and controllers, optional.
It just sucks that I have to wait a whole year, but I understand it’s a small team, and I’d rather they get it right.

At least a simple case inspired by Amiga's PSU.
There might be a reason why the announced the announcement it so early, the A600GS is coming. |

Not exactly the Amiga layout, but acceptable.

The layout is a disappointment to me, they just made some new key caps that's all and didn't adjust anything on the key codes.
Please have a look at the number block of a real Amiga, if you are a 'C' programmer you will love the position of the brackets there, the Amiga has a 'help' key that's not existing on the 'custom' keyboard. The Amiga has a LED in the caps lock key and not the cheap 'put that LED somewhere else' hack you will find on standard keyboards.
At least they provide some extra keys for localization. |
