You should probably be asking, ”if they can do this in 5h, what can they do in 6 months, not mock the Proof Of Concept for having some errors”, fair enough? ;-)

Keep in mind most active Amiga people have you know a lot of Amigas to pull chips from. You might see some FPGA replacements which are like hey only $30 instead of $60 for a 30 year old Commodore chip. Or you could say, I have an A500 in the closet and I'm probably not going to power it up any time soon and I really want to build up an A1000 instead, just because a monitor sits on top of it better. Or it has more RAM, now.

I'd be happy if there was an Amiga Phoenix rebirth project. This sounded close to that.
I just want the ability to install a Rejuvenator and go from there. Sadly, not possible with the stock European Amiga 1000 mainboard.

It’s called the GBA1000 and it exists…

A Game Boy Advance could not possibly boot into an A1000 emulation. How do you hook up a floppy drive to it? Stop making up acronyms.

You're probably just being facetious, but just in case:

Fair point. I was looking at that one, too.

Although I'd prefer a solution that is less "advanced". Something really akin to the original board or Phoenix, preferably re-using the original 68000 socket.
I only just got a Parceiro Accelerator and, one day, I'd like a Buffee.

Yours is just too new. :-) The older PAL boards have the daughterboard.

AFAIK, those aren't real European machines but merely modified and imported US Amigas. The ones sold in Germany as part of that early batch didn't even have umlauts on the keyboard.

I have an European A1000 (German) with daughterboard and English (US) keyboard layout. The monitor (A1081) seems to show a lot of flicker so I suspect that's an NTSC monitor fiddled to run at 50Hz so the phosphors aren't quite persistent enough if using bright colours.
