Hoping this could push the costs of getting into Amiga hardware lower. I never got to use an Amiga in "the day", and seeing the prices continually creep and creep higher really discourages me.
A Raspberry Pi 4 with PiMiga is a great way to get your feet wet (and might be all you need eventually)
A miSTer FPGA is a much better option, being completely open. An original Amiga 500 is not crazy expensive yet, and WinUAE is also an option, being the best and most accurate software emulator for the entire range of the Amigas (a lot more accurate and faster than any Vampire).
