The MisTER family was always a bit expensive for the benefit it provides compared to software emulators. It is a tool for extreme fidelity, the kind of which you want when you are driving original hardware, but that’s a need few people have.

IIRC, the platform was built off development/evaluation boards that was primarily targeted towards the education market, anyway, where bells and whistles are a priority.

It looks like the platform here is a low-frills one from a company that isn't Altera, Xilinx, or Lattice. Good! I'm glad there's some competition.

It's about reducing latency between input and output more than improving emulation precision.
Indeed. A CRT and noise making floppy disks are higher on my point of view for amiga fidelity than bettzr than cycle perfect emulation.
