For sure. But when I look at my actual A1200 motherboard and all of its glorious, obsolete components, I'm filled with nostalgic joy. This is more like getting to the buffet and realising it's all gone.

Silly, I know.

The only thing more indicative of how obsolete the A1200 is would be to find an iPhone in the middle of the A1200.net case powering the A1200GS underneath!

And it would be much more expensive.

The new Minimig with PiStorm is like that, only not the form factor for an empty A1200 case.

@bennymee

A new Minimig with PiStorm?

A1200NG Update

We are pleased to confirm that we will start shipping next month to customers who has ordered the A1200NG.

The retail packaging and user manuals are being produced at the printers. We should have a nice preview of them shortly.

A1200NG 25-pin Serial Port:

A small tweak to the hardware has been made: a fused +12V supply was added to the serial port. This maybe useful for users who want to add MIDI interfaces or similar expansions.

Serial port software support has been added to the Edit section in the menu.

Greaseweazle & Floppy Disk Drives:

Keir Fraser is a member of our A1200NG development team. He has been working with us to enhance the floppy disk drive support.

Format V46 system tool has been updated to display the floppy disk drive in the device list.

@amigakit

Excellent news. I am looking forward to this.

Do you plan on doing any packs that include a keyboard, disk drive and case for a fully working setup out of the box?

This week we have performed a small overclock on the A1200NG to 1.7Ghz after adding a heatsink. The SysInfo results increased from 256 MIPs to 303 MIPs. We are going to do some additional tests and run the system for long periods of time under load at the higher speeds. If the tests are successful we may offer an overclocking kit option for A1200NG users.

@-Sam-

Yes we plan to offer floppy disk drives and we are looking into producing a keyboard to complement the A1200NG.

@amigakit

This is great news. Looking forward to seeing the final package.

Q!

@amigakit

Brilliant. Will keep an eye out for the full kit.

IIRC, SysInfo MIPS rating is very problematic for faster systems and your rating could grossly out (including potentially underrating the system). Maybe try a few other benchmarks or some applications / games.

Today a new blog was published entitled "The A1200 NG". It introduces and gives more information about the A1200NG computer system.

Looks nice!

Is it possible to build Emu68 for this board then use that to boot AOS?

@IntuitionAmiga

Of course it is possible.
