Hi,
I've been watching (and occasionally commenting on) the Minimig thread(s) with great interest - it's a fantastic idea and a great achievement.
I think that inviting comments and suggestions from the prospective market (ie: us!) is a double-edged sword: It allows us to create a wish-list of stuff to be included, but it also opens a can of worms, distracting the developers and causing minor disputes about the relative advantages of USB vs SATA, etc...
But today a thought stuck me:
It seems that the skills and capabilities are already here, so why not take it to a new level and build a genuine hi-spec classic Amiga replacement? Would it be a step too far to make a much faster ('060?) system with SATA, USB, PCI, etc? (I thinking of the EFIKA as an exmaple)
I for one would be willing to pay for such a machine...
The minimig as it stands (correct me if I'm wrong!) will be pretty much an A500-spec implementation in an FGPA. I think a lot of us here probably still have A500s, or run them in UAE?
I for one think it'd be much more fun to have a blazing-fast classic system to tinker with...
This is just me thinking out loud, but hopefully I can get people thinking?
Cheers,
Mike.
