Good point, I had not noticed that.
Well, standalone is the way to go in my opinion, waiting to hear about pricing on these things.
My main concern with a standalone option is connectivity. I see I/O headers and the DB9 ports, but will we be able to connect:
- Amiga keyboards (external or internal types)
- Amiga floppy drives (external and internal)
- Serial devices
- Parallel devices
- Amiga RGB monitors through 23 pin video board
- Genlocks
Because otherwise it joins more of the "reconfigurable computer" ranks rather than a "replacement for my amiga" rank. The Ultimate64 is great in my opinion because it accepts all peripherals.
And please no "Amiga's future" talk about it. if this thing will have the "Amiga" name on it, I expect it to be compatible with Amiga peripherals. If not, fine, it's another product, I am not dismissing it. Just need to be clear on what one gets if one goes that way.
An A1200 or A600 as an I/O interface sounds like a sad and unwanted solution

Be careful, note the text, that says: "Amiga 600 with kipper’s adapter
(if produced)"
Said adapter might not be produced.
