  Imagine if the disk drive accepted a SD card for loading extra software, that would be neat

  Here we are, some 30-odd years later, and I still immediately associated that logo with Amiga's classic red-and-white bouncing ball.

  My friend in HS had an Amiga. I remember his anticipation and how excited he was when it finally arrived. He talked about how powerful it was and all the things it could do. Only to lose it shortly after for making fake report cards.  lol

  About the LED, if you go into the system options on the main menu, you can choose to have the power LED "mimic Amiga behaviour", that's how to get the green light to function as well as the red!

  The fact that the keyboard is a separate molded piece makes me think it's possible someone could make a working keyboard that fits, even if you do have to type with pencils.

  As a child of the 80s, born in the 70s, this opening tune always brightens my day :)

  The small switch on the board is apparently used to enter the UBoot bootloader. The two unpopulated headers are for 5V/GND (fan?) and serial port (TX/RX). Presumably you can log into a serial console via that header.<br><br>Looks like it would be fairly easy to hack and tinker with :)

  The opening sequence of Another World left a lifelong impression on me, it was truly amazing the first time i saw it.

  Actually the boing ball originates in the Atari 8bit line whereJay Miner&apos;s team created a demo to &nbsp;display the capabilities of their first machine.
