Hi Björn!

21 Mar 2022 19:07, from Björn Felten -> Richard Menedetter:

No ;)
I mean it is an overprized Raspberry Pi that pretends to be something else.

It is just a funny looking case (the mini has a keyboard molded that looks
nice, but is just a piece of fixed plastic. The Maxi [not yet released for the
Amiga] at least has a functional keyboard on top of the Raspberry Pi like SBC
emulator.)

Anyhow the mini is just a SBC with an amiga emulator and a cheap USB mouse and
a cheap USB joypad which is overprized.

If you have some time, it is probably better to buy a Pi 3 or 4 and let it
boot into UAE.

I also have an Amiga 500 and 1200 somewhere.
Have not used them for ages.

CU, Ricsi
