Is it possible to use bluetooth with Minimig? It would be nice to have a keyboard and joystick without the wires...


Oh please... Will this ever stop?

"Bluetooth with Minimig?"
"68060@80Mhz with Minimig?"
"4 PCI-Express slots?"
"Integrated popcorn machine?"

Shouldn't we first bother about the _basics_, i.e. getting a small production run organized somehow?

I wonder if MiniMig cases could be made, based closely on real Commodore Amiga cases..


I don't think this would make a lot of sense. The Minimig is great because of the form factor. It's a great device to carry around or to use in you living room hooked up to your television. I doubt many would be interested to have a case with the size of a real Amiga case. Much too bulky...

Besides... why is it that people love talking about cases when  it is still unsure how the product itself is manufactured? The last time this happened was with the pathetic Troika case design contest. So now we have 457 different case designs but not a single working Amy-mainboard. Great.

My impression is that they suck.


They do. Reichelt or RS-Components are much cheaper. RS-Components has multiple stores in various countries (UK, Germany, etc.).
