Hi Björn!

But yes, it is true. (and not very good, sadly)
In what way? Do you mean that the original A500 is better?
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 still have one A500 in its original box, waiting for it to be
worth keeping rather than sending it to recycling...
I also have an Amiga 500 and 1200 somewhere.
Have not used them for ages.
CU, Ricsi
