I'm trying to decide if it will meet my needs,

  Michael R,
 
  Genuine 680x0 CPUs and custom AMIGA ICs have been in hibernation/stasis for 23 years and 25 years, respectively....
 
  This WILL "meet my needs".
 
  However, you may want the standalone, instead.

LOL. I thought you paid for something in 1994 and didn't receive it yet! US Postal Service, Royal Mail, China Post? It could happen. :-)

I apologize for typos. My tablet is hard to see.

Yes. We have all been waiting for about 27 years for something like this. I'm looking for an all-in-one solution but I like buying new Amiga stuff and tinkering with software as well. I've purchased a Vampire 500 v2+, and I will probably buy a V1200 and standalone board as well.

Rather than choose between an Apollo standalone board and a Commodore 1200 reloaded board, I might buy both and compare. I could write some articles about it and make some cool videos! Is there a rule somewhere that says we can't own more than one Amiga? My collection is growing fast. More toys for me!

He also suggested we use PARASITE for now till the SAGA code is perfected so that it runs at 200% efficiency! So now I want PARASITE. Add one to my order please? ;-)
 
  I'm sure the SAGA chipset will improve in due time, but Gunnar said I could use PARASITE till then! The Apollo Team is hard at work on SAGA. It's hard work playing games, I mean tweaking the chipset to play games!
 
  When more peripherals are available do you think they will use the same naming convention to keep up with the whole "Walking Dead" theme? But honestly, what's in a name? If it works I'll use it even if you call it dirt. (That's a joke!)
 
 
  Resolutions such as 666x666 might be hard to use except for something like High Seas Trader! Maybe 777x777 would be better. That's a winner!
