Im googling and the first hit was this:

EDIT: Seems to be the same thing you get on ebay: http://www.retrogenius.co.cc/emus-retrocons.html

Very few details on that site, but I'm afraid this is going to be some bogus hardware crap like Commodore USA released before.

TCD · 11 April 2011, 20:59

All the images are hosted in PhotoBucket, the domain name isn't registered... seems like someone wants to stay anonymous

Coagulus · 11 April 2011, 21:11

http://www.retrogenius.co.cc/emus-amigazip.html looks dodgier, and obviously includes kickstarts.

TCD · 11 April 2011, 21:20

Of course... Looks like CUSA gave them an even better idea how to make a quick buck.

CritAnime · 11 April 2011, 21:33

I was thinking this might be a cheap dig at CUSA. Especially with the KAMA case.

ImmortalA1000 · 14 April 2011, 23:06

Bet it's just a stick to jab at C=USA with, and obviously just a few hours on a paint program and $0.00 of product.

Probably a bit of fun to show a white Karma TF8 case + AMD guts = better looking fantasy machine than proposed official. You can only get them in black I think though so a bit FAIL doh!

Kitty · 14 April 2011, 23:10

when did this information appear, april 1st?

No sale. Wouldn't buy either unless it was an Amiga 1000 replica case and 1081 monitor case with 14" LCD inside AND can use 9 pin joysticks AND load original Amiga floppies. C64x didn't even go that far with C64 joysticks and disks though

Actually is that disk reader called Catweasel on PC?

Exactly, did that site magically appear on 1st April? There's no keyboard design shown so obvious joke.

Can you buy either of those new anywhere or just used ones on ebay?

Compatibility with original 3.5" game disks in WinUAE or just for making ADFs?

Retrofan · 14 April 2011, 23:21

A pity if it's a fraud. I like this:
"Our new machine, the R-MIGA A1000, will have the same sort of elegant design as the machine that inspired us, and best of all it will allow you to run the entire Amiga archive too."

You can create ADFs, not use real disks in WinUAE.

Ah OK, I hoped you could play original games with it. Thank you for the information

TCD · 14 April 2011, 23:27

You can actually make more advanced images than ADF with both, so you can image your originals (not 100% sure if you can use those images in WinUAE right away though).

The R-MIGA idea and my hazey memory made me wonder if I could ever use my original games via PC emulation. That would be cool and is what I thought could be done. Ah well just me dreaming

TCD · 14 April 2011, 23:44

Just like the 'core' is virtual, so are your disks

Live with it. Really, it makes it a lot easier

Get a real Amiga or accept that you're using emulation
