I've got a minimig, but I really wouldn't consider the minimig
competition. I definitely like using the original A500 hardware with my
68030 accelerator, 3mb of ram (2mb 32-bit fastram, 1 meg chip), and
external IDE harddrive(s). My biggest fear is turning on the machine
and either the accelerator card failing, or the IDE interface going.
I've got the harddrive imaged, so there's no fear of losing data.
I would happily buy a new IDE interface/memory/accelerator/vga
scandoubler-thing.
The other models don't really do it for me.

I agree, it's been very popular and I wouldn't mind having one. I think
there's a lot of people who prefer to play with the original hardware
though. I think the minimig is great. But if I wanted to emulate, I'd
probably just run WinUAE on a PC and save some money.
brian There seems to be a definite shortage of love for
the 1000 and 500 though.
Not really following the amigas to close, but I think the amiag500 got a
little competition from the FPGA based minimig, where you can use standard
vga screens, harddrive and floppy are replaced by sd-flash.
for people, who just like to play some games, this thing is it.
