Amiga Clone Natami - Planned For Summer 2008
This project is probably the most promising Amiga clone currently. I'm in hope that they release this baby, looks like a nice Minimig killer.

I am giving 10:1 odds that "it doesnt happen in 2008". Any bets?
It is a shame, it's too ambitious too soon. One guy working part time will never finish in five years let alone 1. If it were more of a community project. But even then I dunno if that would be enough. There have been NO updates to MiniMig in 8 months. It appears no-one with any ability really cares. Last edited by alexh; 11 March 2008 at 00:20. |

Well, better than PPC-only projects and quite better than expensive mini A500 clones... I hope its price will not be too high :|

Would be great - I wish the developer all the best (hand in pocket, fingers twitching over wallet).
Hmmm, I wonder if someone with the talent to do an updated AGA might try for a 68080 in FPGA..? Back to reality: I'm sure alexh is correct. |

wonder what the dedicated market is.
060 aint exactly a good performer nowadays, and I doubt a selfmade rasterizer will yield competive performance either. Dont see the point in developing new stuff on it. Personally Id rather buy a new A1200 with modern interfaces (DVI/VGA-Upscaler, Sata, Lan, USB, a normal power connector,...). |

Seriously, Natami seems very ambitious for a first go at an A1200 replacement. Why all the extra SuperAGA stuff? It's cool, but surely a better way to get something (anything) finished and "out there" is to get the basics working, then add to them. Worked for MiniMig (apart from the "add" bit). Maybe its marketing as a SuperAGA board would be more competitive. I dunno. There also seems to be a lot crammed in to what I'm assuming is an FPGA. alexh, does it seem feasible to fit all those features into one chip? But best of luck to the Natami guys, I look forward to seeing working boards and then falling down crying when I see the price |
