I’d consider it at €400 (i.e. above a full MiSTer setup price) if it was a well crafted case like this but an Amiga 1200 equivalent with a C64 mode and SD card slot as “floppy”. Something more pragmatic.

This one instead reminds me of those Vampire FPGA’s with SAGA graphics mode running on a so called Motorola 68080, that is so niche on a niche system that nothing is developed for it other than tech demos and software compatibility suffers to boot.

Then again, I don’t like to complain about these passionate projects! They’re clearly 80’s “dream machines” of sorts. I just think that from a financial/success perspective this may not be where most profit is at.
