HDMI compatible video, WiFi Internet, 9-pin Joystick ports, Compact Flash card reader, serial DB25 and modern USB ports complement the design. www.a1200.com/ng

@amigakit

Will you be offering A1200NG kits that would include the wedge cases and keyboards and other required components for Amiga enthusiast to assemble themselves?

Nice, well done.

Please consider to sell a keyboard:

and a fitting case:

over your shop, maybe in a set ...

Looks nice, but there's no parallel port, so you can't use it w/ older printers and/or samplers/midi devices.

How expandable is this going to be ? Can I add other accelerators, like TF1260 or PiStorm ?

I can't see an edge connector so don't see how any type of accelerator card could be added

@Heimdall

You might with a stretch of luck get another raspberry pi type of card, as long as t is supported, by the pins and hardware wise. For the looks of it the board looks like a big pistorm, accoupled to a ARM module ( in this case H618 Quad Core 1.5Ghz/4GB RAM). It must be compatible pin wise to it, and probably a bit of luck also.

If an adapter from usb to parallel port is used I guess, pretty much like in WinUAE, you would be able to access it. As long as it is supported from their emulation solution, that is, and how many users actually needs it still.

There was some talks about the DB25 serial port somewhere, the discussion was about whether it's really just RX(2)/TX(3), or if also the pins for CTS(4), DSR(5), CD(6) and DTR(20) are active? And +/-12 on pin 9 and 10? Perhaps you can clarify.

Those work with printers, but don't expect them to work with samplers and other amiga-specific devices - the amiga parallel ports is't identical to a PC parallel port.

There's midi devices that plug to parallel?

Wow, nice about the in-built CDDA mixer and Greaseweazle functionality! It's sad that there's no parallel port, though again the serial port inclusion is great. You win some and you lose some!

I guess 4-player functionality is possible with a mix of 2 x 9-pin and 2 x USB joysticks/pads like the A600GS?

@OneTimer1 and @AmigaMac

Sounds like you guys are not aware of this controversy?

That’s exactly what I’d like to see.
