FPGA Replay Case

[amigadave]

I hope that someone will find, or design a fully enclosed mini case for the FPGAArcade Replay board(s) with a matching back plate for the ports.  Your idea for duplicating the plexiglas case like the one for the MiniMig is fine for many people, but some will want a more conventional case design.

I don't remember if anyone has asked MikeJ already, but what are the chances of running the FPGAArcade Replay from battery(ies) to make it some kind of portable device?  I am not a fan of the new touch screen tablets, but would not mind seeing someone turn the FPGAArcade Replay into a laptop design with a proper keyboard & LCD.

I have a widescreen touch LCD panel on a daughterboard. I'll post some pics of it running at somepoint. I did the board to prove I could talk to the LCD and it looks pretty good.
It's a lot more work to turn it into a portable device.

If you can provide a regulated 5V supply the board will run fine from batteries, it has a 2 pin header for ext 5V.

Looking forward to your pictures.  Making it into a portable device is low priority and could be a project for some much later date.

P.S. MikeJ, I have a 68060RC60 waiting for this project, so I hope you will consider making the daughter card with a socket, instead of trying to source all of the 68060's yourself (or if you don't want to do that, I hope you will accept letting customers send you their 68060 chips to be installed onto their daughter cards and remove the price of your 68060 from the price of the daughtercard).  I am working on selling some of my Classic Amiga gear to raise the money to pay for the FPGAArcade Replay board and daughtercard, so I am as anxious as everyone else for these to become available.  Thanks again for your great work on this project Mike.
