Emulating an Amiga on an X86 laptop removes the fun and possible learning/innovation from building your very own pure Amiga hardware.

I think a CD32 motherboard coupled with an SX32-Pro would make a great Amiga laptop.

There was a case design available once called 'PAWS' for A1200 and A4000 but it was way too big. To make it truly portable some research into battery life would be a good start.

What's one of them!?

:-D

If you had seen the size (or rather depth) of the combined SX32-Pro & CD32 motherboard you wouldnt say that.

Well they both fit inside the CD32 which is itself only 2" thick. So if the CD32 motherboard and SX32-Pro are 1¾" thick then that's not much thicker than an A600 mobo with Apollo 630.

I'm just wondering if an A600 keyboard could somehow be rigged to another type of Amiga... standard Amiga keyboards are too long.

A portable ECS machine even with an '030 is not as exciting as an AGA machine with maybe an '060/PPC in it.

Due to miniaturisation I think it's only fair to expect a homebrew Amiga to be a bit bigger than your average laptop but it has to be less than the 'luggable' PAWS solutions that were around back in '98.

That DC Li-Ion battery link is pretty cool.

Only thing is, doesn't the A1200 need -12v, +5v etc?
