For reference, the "MiniMig with AGA" thread will be 2 years old this coming January. Please don't knock one while praising the other. There were times when a whole month or two went by without an update from MikeJ. His board has also been in development a long time but only "discovered" by this community within the last 2 years.

I don't see much feature creep dragging his project.

The goals of creating an "A5000+"-caliber machine are far more complex than simply emulating an A500 with an '0X0 accelerator.

I don't see the situation as having a problem of feature creep but simply the reality of accepting what features a new PC must have to be usable out of the box. Ethernet and USB are standard on any PC, why not on a new Amiga...?

Lack of resources. For instance USB support adds insane amount of extra work. Why? Just because you don't want to use PS/2 like the other projects?
