‘Proper next-gen Amiga’ launched by Apollo Computing — promises full FPGA-powered backwards compatibility with its new 68080 chip

Apollo Computing has launched the Apollo A6000, a modern Amiga system featuring the advanced V4 AC68080 FPGA chip, promising full backwards compatibility with Amiga 68k software. The system boasts a retro design reminiscent of the Amiga A600, along with impressive tech specs and a built-in mechanical keyboard. The AC68080 FPGA, developed over 10 years, offers significant processing power and compatibility with a wide range of legacy software. Priced at over $1,000, the A6000 has already sold out its initial run in Germany, with more units expected in the future. Other companies are also working on new Amiga-like machines, catering to fans of retro computing.
