Armiga - Amiga home made prototype feature sneak peak update

Over the last month or so we've featured the latest home made project of an interesting design called the Armiga. Now before you get your hopes up this is not the next official Amiga, but the Armiga Project which has recently been pushing for funding through an IndieGoGo campaign. The design is built around a modern Dual Core ARM CPU, a custom made floppy controller and a Raspberry Pi. What makes this hardware even more interesting is the fact that it has further features including an Ethernet connection, HDMI, USB connection and the all important SD Card interface for using or saving your own ADF files.  The developers have just released the latest sneak peak trailer, so hopefully it puts your mind to rest if you have any concerns. However this project has a long way to go with only a $9,100 of a $140,000 pledge goal raised so far. Will it succeed? Will the developers persuade the hard line Amiga fan base, only time will tell! - Thanks Gyorgy for the heads up!

Update - I've been in contact with the product developer regarding your question of AGA support, this was the response : AGA is one of the funding goals, but it's quite demanding, so we cannot promise anything yet :). So there you have it!

Armiga - A home made prototype of the next Amiga ( BIG INDIEGOGO UPDATE )

Last month a new project caught my attention, with what looked to be a brand new Amiga design. However at the time it turned out that this was a home made project using a Raspberry PI, a custom controller, Amiga floppy drive, and an SD card device. The Armiga Project (Armiga for short) as it's known, will please many people hoping to be able to play both real Amiga floppy games and those that are stored on the SD device. But today I've just been informed there is even more to this Armiga than meets the eye, and they have set up an IndieGoGo campaign for us to pledge and get our hands on this nice bit of kit. With a $140,000 Goal and further features including Ethernet connection, HDMI and USB connections, this is one to drool over!

Armiga - A home made prototype of the next Amiga?

This new project certainly caught Indie Retro News's eye, especially when you see the internals of the latest design from #Armiga Project. Using a Raspberry PI, a custom controller and the Amiga floppy drive, you can play Amiga games by using the original floppy dumps. With the latest picture it shows the ability to use SD cards as well, which probably means even more games to play at faster speeds. What's more, as it's the Raspberry PI expect handy USB devices and even a custom boot logo. At this moment we have no idea of costs and when we can get our hands on this awesome bit of kit!
