The Alicia 1200 Mini ITX Amiga project is making waves with its faithful recreation of the Amiga 1200 AGA in a compact and modern format. In the video, projectCD.Chronicles presents a preview of the Alicia 1200, highlighting both its classic compatibility and new features. This Alicia 1200 initiative aims to offer full support for original Amiga chipsets, all while delivering a smaller, more versatile board.
A Compact Amiga Revival
Alicia 1200 Mini ITX is not just about shrinking the hardware. It brings an authentic Amiga 1200 experience to users who want modern conveniences. The board supports the full AGA chipset and features expansion options like a dedicated PCMCIA slot, a custom video slot compatible with the Amiga 4000, and enhanced video capabilities with internal double scan support. The tornado slots and clock ports add flexibility for a range of hardware configurations, making Alicia 1200 an exciting prospect for fans.
Decade-Long Development
The Alicia 1200 project has roots stretching back over a decade. It evolved from earlier work like the Lisa and Denise projects, gaining momentum thanks to support from the Amiga community. Developers Stefan Nordlander and Mr. Anderson, in partnership with Enter Logic, are leading the charge to bring this board to life.
What’s Next for Alicia 1200
While Alicia 1200 Mini ITX is not yet available commercially, its prototype phase and enthusiastic reception point to a bright future. The project faces hurdles, including legal and distribution delays, but aims for a public release following community feedback and event presentations like those at AmiWest.
