No software emulation, this 'faithful recreation of the original motherboard' runs on an AMD Artix 7 FPGA.

    You can still get perfectly working original ones for less. Why would anyone want to spend more on a knock off?

      It might not be a “first edition” but it’s definitely not a “knockoff”.

        It literally runs on AMD 🤣

          You know that an AMD FPGA is not the same thing as an AMD CPU right?

            What are you on about? Did I mention CPU?

              I guess I just don’t understand what it having an AMD chip has to do with anything. I just assumed you thought it was being emulated, my bad if it’s not the case.

                It’s not the original hardware. If someone makes a Gucci looking bag, but it’s not made with the same materials as the original, would you insist it’s not a Gucci knock off?
