As much as I love custom hardware, I think the standard mini itx layout with Dennis' suggested design impovements would be best in the long run. That way you can use comercial cases or build your own design with only one run.

Mini ITX would be my choice.

it's as in 'AROS roots'... I was told that it would be it's as opposed to its by an US speaker, but I had that very same doubt as you.


To clear this up.....
it's = the contracted form of "it is"
its = possesive pronoun, belonging to

This seems contradictory even to native english language folks because MOST of the time the 's is tagged on the end to show possesion. Not in the case of the word "it".

So in Pixie's case the correct usasge would be "its roots".
(Notice the contradiction in the previous sentence?)

Now back to minimig.... I've update my preference.
Mini or microATX is fine as long as we can stick to a standard.

Sign me up, I'll take one. I think that comes up to about $35US?? Solderstations and components are standing by. Now if I could just add a few more extra days to the week....

I'll be waiting for the V1.1 board myself, but I hope the V1.0 buyers get a lot of fun out of it.


Typically I use www.oanda.com to check exchange rates. Nice site. And of course I made a mistake and did a Euro<>Dollar conversion instead of Pound<>Dollar. Duh.

I plan to have much fun, oh and I hope it works too when I get done.  :lol:

when you say we need to supply the components, what components would that be?


FPGA, resistors, caps, IO connectors.... any thing that is not a trace or circuit board :-P

Do we have a parts list yet or do we need to generate one from the scematics? www.digikey.com has one of the best sites/search engines for this type project and the prices aren't bad either. Works well for North America. Not sure if that's the case for Europe, Oz and other places.

@Xenepp

I'm still happy to be on the list for a bare board. Even if things don't always turn out as expected, thanks for all the work you've done so far.
