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!
