    I will certainly consider getting one, if the asking price isn't too outrageous!

    Unfortunately, it may never be released, due to legal shenanigans with two of the old Amiga IP holders. Everybody wants to be in charge! :-)

    I'm pretty pessimistic at the moment.

    If not, Amazon do a refund ;-)

    re: Legal difficulties

    The latest issue of COMPUTE!s GAZETTE has a detailed description of all the legal wrangling that is holding up the production ofTHE A1200. It's an interesting, if
    maddening story!

    As usual, everybody wants a piece of the pie. :-)

    Haha, you are right! It is true that Commodore "Brand" is very active at the moment with the Amiga and C64.

    ... It's just a jump to the left. . .

    Several years ago, I remember seeing ads for a new Commodore 64 computer, but it was basically a Windows PC in a Commodore 64 style keyboard case. It had a fairly standard PC motherboard, made to fit that case, with a fairly standard I/O backplate on the back of the keyboard case. It looked cool, and I thought about buying one, but I didn't. And I don't think they kept making those.

    I seem to recall hearing something about a new Amiga computer being released.. I just did a search online, and I saw this about an upcoming re-release of the Amiga 1200 (which you can pre-order), though I don't think this is what I was thinking of:

    https://retrogames.biz/products/thea1200/

    That looks pretty cool.. though I'm not sure if it's something I'd use very often.

    It will be like the C64 Maxi released years ago. An A500 mini with a working USB keyboard... I don't know if the ARM SoC will be upgraded.
    Some people just buy it to put a Myster FPGA inside...

    No. Because it doesn't come with an OS; it's strictly a game machine.
