I'm sure people are aware of the Access Amiga clone designed by Mick Tinker. This was basically an A1200 on a card that fitted in a PC 5.25 bay.
Now, run with this as an idea.
Take the design, tweak it slightly for size (so it fits mini-ITX cases like the Shuttle series). Remove the ISA slot.
Q1: How hard would it be to take a PCI design LIKE Mediator/Prometheus and put that in for 2 slots?
Q2: Would it be worth replacing the Mouse port & Keyboard with PS2 versions. There are free designs out there which work and allow 2 joysticks still connected.
Q3: Put FF/SD circuitry onboard so that you had 31.2khz output rather than 15.6 TV modes.
Q4: Would it just be easier to FIND the AntiGravity guy and get the Boxer design off him. You cannot ask Mick Tinker about Boxer as he signed (and is honouring) an NDA. If AntiGravity went bust and it was a company then the rights might be owned by some liquidator but if it was an individual then they still might belong to them but are probably worthless now.
Q5: CPU - Access ran an 030... 28mhz, you could change crystals and perhaps go as high as 56mhz but 060 is a big redesign. Brings you back to Q4!
You may wonder why I am bothering - I am not interested in the slightest in AmigaOne. I suspect there are lots of likeminded people. AmigaClassic is THE only Amiga for me.
