If you want to build a laptop from real Amiga-parts (read no Minimig,Natami etc) you would need to start with an A600-mobo as thats the only one small enough for a normal sized laptop.]
I would use a CD-32 motherboard, along with maybe a SX-1 interface, I believe both would be small enough to fit in a laptop.
[Problem is it's also an extremly underpowered Amiga and once you start adding stuff like an accel (the ACA630 being the only reasonable option here) and an Indivision (also needed) a PCMCIA-card and Subway for connectivity you have not only a money problem but also one in space (this laptop would be very thick).]
HMMMM! Maybe if I used an older larger laptop case, but I would use one of those 15 K cards that convert the older game machines to vga.
[Driving this with batteries is also a no-go as the HW is neither low-power nor support any kind of powermanagment.]
If I remember right the CD-32 is just 12V and 5V power. I could use a 12 volt battery for a laptop, and split it with a voltage ladder.
Or in short:
[There is a reason why the PAWS used an A1200 and there is also a reason why it looks like it looks.
How did a A1200 come into play here? I was talking about a CD-32 board.
Son your not paying attention. I say a listen here, CD-32 not A1200, are you a listening son.
