I want one too! Fully assembled, if not too expensive.

I want one please, assembled, and preferably in a nice case! I dont want to solder anything.

One question: will the picture output be via SCART/RGB or VGA?

Thanks

I suggest that European orders are shipped directly from an EU country, so to save on shipping + import taxes!!

I think there should be a proper website so people who are interested fill up a form or something :)

Any idea about what the price could be?

How will games run? ADF/DMS disks running from a memory card via floppy drive emulation?

It looks like there is enough interest to do it, but I'll not be taking any payments until I have the PCBs in hand. It's far less complicated that way.

Once I have the design done, the price is set and everyone's happy I'll start making a list of those who wants one. Obviously, the more that want them, the cheaper it will end up being.

It's a good idea I think to design it to fit standard Mini-ITX cases. This way, people have a lot of options with how they'll case it up and I can make an Amiga type case to Mini-ITX specs, giving me a firm guideline. Nano-ITX is too small to route traces for all those connectors.

Thing only drawback is that it'll get bigger. The beauty of Minimig is that it's so small but then it doesn't lend itself well to casing with ports everywhere.

So what does everyone think about that?

Why dont they sell the PCB *WITH* components? It would be a great idea and save us loads of hassle. I would love to buy a pre-assembled Minimg, and a pcb WITH components would be my second option, but I dont see myself chasing components which I dont know even what they are for.
