"The A1200 is essentially a Linux single-board computer running emulation, possibly one of the UAE (Ultimate Amiga Emulators) that have been around for decades. What makes The A1200 different from just building your own with a Raspberry Pi is that we get a full-sized recreation of the Amiga 1200, and that includes a working keyboard. "

I'd really be interested in the keyboard and shell as a USB keyboard.

Extremely overpriced arm sbc wrapped in a nostalgia-evoking case.

Minimig on miSTer a much better Amiga, whereas Raspberry Pi 500+ a much better arm sbc.
