Here’s a cool project that I have some involvement with, the Armiga Project.
This is basically an ARM-based emulation platform for the Amiga 500 that uses normal Commodore Amiga floppy disks!
Pretty cool, and I definitely support it! It’s already come a long way.
Details are available here at indiegogo!

Schematics now available for A501 replacement card!
Find them on the main project page, located here.

Added some new photos of the populated PCB for the Commodore Amiga A501 memory replacement card.

Below is a label diagram of how the PCB is handling a read from the Amiga. (and partial theory of operation here too). As of 1/18/14, Schematics are coming.
So the very first A500 I had been testing on since the beginning of the project had a Bug Katcher installed. It turns out that I wasn’t really using it, but I left it plugged in anyways.
I’m not sure electrically what the exact effects of having that installed are, but removing it caused all of my instability and boot issues to disappear.
I was able to boot the amiga (10) times in a row from a cold start without an associated hang.
