After reading a topic on amiga.org about PPC hardware for Minimig, I decided to contact DCE about acquiring the rights to the Blizzard 2060, Blizzard 2604 and PPC developers board. This would have given us a great head start in putting a PPC Minimig together, as we would have had the hardware designs, the driver source code, all documentation, etc...
However, despite a long discussion that lasted over a month, the negotiations are becoming increasingly difficult, due to DCE's reluctance to do any Amiga business at all. I did find out that we would need Specctra-compatible router software to view the PCB designs, but that's all the technical information I extracted.
Actually, tha fact that you have been negotiating for over a month in itself is pretty revolutionary, usually DCE bins everything even partly relating to Amiga.
I still wonder why they are so adiment in not wanting to do business with us.
All I can say is don't give up, get them to read forums or postings there. I think there are quite a few people around that want to do business with DCE. Either by buying them out , or even wanting them do do a new production run on newly designed hardware. I have even heard people try to persuade DCE to build MiniMigs.
In the end I suspect it is a money issue, I can't image them rather having it gather dust then making a last profit on selling the technology.
