Amiga 600 is the next least expensive.

Thanks. I think I would rather emulate (one way or another) an Amiga 1200 though and see what I missed out on all those years ago. But I certainly won't dismiss those options.

There are some other FPGA boards which also run Amiga core (Minimig). The original MiST, SiDi: https://manuferhi.com/p/sidi and maybe some others, I can never remember which one does which anymore. SiDi is cheaper than MiSTer but also less powerful and has no HDMI. |
Thanks. The whole Mister thing confuses me a bit. I thought I would need a DE10-Nano, Mister IO board, 7 port USB board, USB bridge, 128Mb SDRAM (might as well have the option of simulating other devices too). I think I calculated that at about £290 not even including a case. Plus everything seemed to be on backorder at various places. I'll keep an eye out for updated stock info.
I'm also tempted by the Raspberry Pi 400 but then that relies on software emulation which I'm not having a great time with at the moment. Maybe emulation on Pi is better than Windows.
