Re: Replicated motherboards, any interest?

I thought someone had redone the Mini-Mig as an Itx standard layout?

Wouldn't this be a much better option?

A new case, a new PSU, a new motherboard with usb, rj45, ps2 ports, scan-doubled vga! Why polute a new motherboard with old hardware like zorro or cpu boards? Seems crazy to buy a new Motherboard to install old unreliable hardware!

What we really need is a proper production run of Amiga keyboards that plug into USB or ps2. This is of greater value for users of mini-mig or the proposed newer FPGA motherboards. I have a few A2000 keyboards with broken cpu's sitting in my cupboard! Its annoying.

Without some new standards how can we bring prices lower for interface hardware like wi-fi, usb or rj45? Amiga network cards and usb cards are getting harder and harder to source :(

Don't get me wrong I love my Amiga's but I would really love a new Amiga in a small tower with associated new keyboard and high precision mouse!

Wish list for me would be :-

A new FPGA based motherboard with PC standard layout (ipx mini-mig?)
4meg chip ram (much better than 2meg as a standard)
8meg fast ram on the mobo
A high clocked 68000 fpga implimentation
Kickstart 3.1

With this type of system I could get back into Amiga graphics and programming.

Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example  :lol:
