Illuwatar, a small private hardware designer in Sweden, implemented a Mini-ITX form factor version of the Minimig under the Open Source design License. This hardware version fits in standard Mini-ITX cases and has dimensions of 17 cm x 17 cm. Connecting ports in this version were moved to the back of the mainboard to comply with Mini-ITX requirements.
On 9 Feb 2008 ACube Systems announced the availability of finished Minimig v1.1 boards.
On 2006-10-11 Jens Schönfeld at Individual Computers revealed that they had been working on a commercial Amiga-in-FPGA for the past year called "Clone-A" that is similar to Minimig. In contrast to Minimig, Individual Computers's Clone-A was developed by a three-person development team employing a powerful logic analyzer. The system will use clone chips to replace CIAs, Paula, Gary, Agnus and Denise. The CPU will be the original from Motorola. Final chips will also include AGA and a working parallel port to enable 4-player games.
Wolfgang Förster has completed the Suska project, which is an Atari ST-on-FPGA.
Natami (derived from Native Amiga) is a closed source advanced Amiga compatible machine, allowing users to run original Amiga 68k software and will update the original Amiga design to modern standards. It introduces a new 3D softcore responsible for 3D graphics acceleration as well as an "68050" softcore as an addition to the 68k family CPU, more compatible with 68000 than e.g. 68060, yet more advanced and with higher clock frequency.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or projects:
“Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
