CD32 Laptop

[ACE]

I've recently obtained an old PC laptop.  It works and the screen is good enough, (the K/B is doggy and so is the PS:2 port) so I was thinking of ripping apart its M/B and putting a CD32 in it's place.  OK might or might not work but still would be cool if it did.

Just a few questions? Has anyone tried this before?
Anyone know the dimensions of a CD32 M/B with an SX-Pro Expansion?
Can you run 3.9 on it or do you need to upgrade the ROM?
Will it still boot properly if I take out the inbuilt CD drive and add the laptops to a IDE channel?
How power hungrey is a CD32 with SX-Pro Expansion?(Will I ever get it to run off Batteries?)

and Prob loads I forgot too.

So is there anyone who knows or can point me towards a good website?

Wow!  Thanks everyone!  Lots of stuff to keep me going there!

I like the idea of the PS-One Screen, that might just work (and make my life o-so simpler).  Will solve the problem of having a 640x512 screen on a 800x600 dispaly.  Even with overscan there would be some big borders.  However whats the resolution of the PS-One display like?

(And interesting side note can Scan Dblers/Flicker Fixers display good overscan?  Which would you recomend?  I presume the internal ones wouldn't work on the CD32!  (I'll cheak the locations of the chips).

Finally just to finish that Amiga feel can you connect an A600 Keyboard to the CD-32.

This is sounding better all the time!

Why is nothing ever simple!

Although I haven't had time to read this properly I found a website with details about hooking up a PSOne Display.

For those who are ( still ! ) interested,
PSOne LCD (PAL Composite Signal) Project

Still don't know what sort of resolution you can drive this at.  Don't know if I could go back to 320*256(/240/200) after all this time.  What was the resolution of the playsatan?

Still might have to give all this a go.  If I could get the whole system running from a battery for half and hour or so, I'll be happy. :-D
