Kickstart introduction

Steve Jones

29 October 2022

Welcome to our latest product, the Checkmate 19" and 17" displays.

The Kickstarter was a great success thanks to my amazing backers but also to those who helped promoting it including Nostalgia Nerd who pushed it over the line in style.

Whilst this batch of nearly 1500 units are now all allocated we do have a waiting list for the 2024 batch so to join this please email steve@imica.net and ask to be added.

We are working very hard on it and do monthly (ish) live streams to update people so hopefully you can catch some of them.

All the best

Steve Jones

Aros Quick Record Audio tool

HDAudio driver supports its first netbook

01 October 2010 Intel based audio support and Acer Aspire 150 with sound drivers, attached at bottom of this page, look for hdaudio-drivers.zip file.

With Aros and IMICA, Silence is truly Golden

28 June 2010 A nice small unit to run Aros on and is perfect where you do not want to be disturbed by noisy computers. Great for the Amiga fan who wants a low cost and high performance unit that is fully Aros native. For £199 you get a fully working unit that is totally quiet, later upgrade with bigger internal drive unit if needed. Shipping to Europe only £20 !!

IMICA Becomes Aros Fully Native, Celebrates in Silence

01 June 2010 This is the press release sent out. But the unit will start from £199 including 512mb ram and 4gb memory stick to start. £249 with normal 160gb 2.5" notebook drive, or £329 with 80gb SSD for total silence.
