Today, we're looking at the intriguing Mirari, a new mainboard that is designed to “breathe new life into the next-gen Amiga platform.” The developers are several prototypes in and currently refining drivers to prepare the Micro-ATX form factor Mirari for a mid-2026 release. Amenities will include NVMe, USB3, PCIe slots, SATA (via card), and FPGA custom logic – all in a convenient Micro-ATX form factor. Expect to pay about $600 to $700 (€500 – €600) for this AmigaOS4 and MorphOS platform when it is ready.
Mirari is designed for those of you who still cradle a ‘next-gen Amiga dream,’ rather than simply want a modern interface plus I/O remake of the classic Amigas of the 1980s and 90s. This motherboard isn’t intended for casual retro fans who just want to play some old classic 16-bit games, use Workbench from v1.X to 3.x, or dabble in undemanding pixel painters like Deluxe Paint or PPaint. That’s easy enough on old mass-produced hardware or in emulators.
Instead, Mirari tackles the Amiga computing niches where AmigaOS4 or MorphOS is desired, running on a true next-gen Amiga. This means Mirari departs from the 68K lineage and embraces PowerPC (echoing the Mac’s architecture transition).
