Are you ready for brand new Amiga 1200 cases to be readily available once more, /vr/?

C64 welcome as well.

The new c64c cases in various colors have been made from the original molds.
This is to replace yellowed cases I take it?

Oh...dear...god...no.

I'd like the whole machine as a reproduction. My Amiga 1200 died a horrible death from a short. RIP.
Compared to the NES the Amiga was shit.

In theory it's possible to replicate the custom chips with FPGA. The only problem is the full specs aren't released, so projects like Minimig and MIST have to limp along by reverse-engineering.
Still they got pretty far, and the games compatiblity is very high. But those boards are currently geared entirely towards games, and I really want a general-purpose Amiga replica to use as normal computer (instead of having to constantly worry with old ones breaking, or only having emulation on modern PC). I'd like to expand RAM a bit and run various Workbench and development tools, just like on real Amigas.
I guess this case is a first step. Maybe some keyboards will be next.
Oh fuck yes new keys! Just got my first Amiga (A500) and it's yellowed to shit, so this is exciting.
Any chance the 1200 cases are compatible with the 500? Or will I have to retrobrite it?

It was HMOS actually; Commodore dropped NMOS in 1985.

And how about an adapter to use modern SRAM in Amigas? The things used DRAM types that aren't made anymore and DRAM is not as reliable or power efficient, especially the old-time 80s-90s types.

>theory it's possible but I don't know the spec
What if the spec includes stuff a FPGA can't handle? Granted it could be handled by other hardware in theory but it blows your theory.
Have a listen to a FPGA SID and see if you'd like to revise your theory.

SID is impossible to accurately emulate because of the analog filters. Even on individual chips, they vary.
