First ebay Minimig sells for £214 (305 EUR / $428 US)

The seller has already put his second Minimig on Ebay. I wonder how soon there will be more people selling these babies, and how many different incarnations there will be.

Thusfar I've seen Dennis' original Minimig, abovementioned ones on Ebay, the mini-ITX version from that Swedish guy (sorry, forgot your name :-)), plus I've seen the empty boards from Nusim, and 2 other people whom I don't remember the names from (one with the white PCB, and the one who initially also would do a 10-piece production run)...

So, it seems that at least 6 people have all delivered more in just 2 months as a single person, than AInc. has delivered in 7 years. Go figure! :-)

Considering the parts including import duties, postage etc. cost £180, and it took MANY hours to solder, I would consider this price quite disappointing.

I think you read it wrong somewhere. Seller has previously stated that the total hardware costs were 180 Euros, not pounds, so I don't think the selling price is that bad...

Then we can start working on AAA on our own with full backward compatibility for MegaMig-II.

Shouldn't we call it a MiniNyx then?  :-D

The biggest funny is that Dennis wasn't even an Amiga user

I don't think that's entirely true. I spoke with him on the recent Dutch Commodore User's Group meeting, and apart from the Minimig he also brought his A3000, which I understood he has had for several years.

Nevertheless, for someone with no FPGA designing history, it's been a hell of an effort to accomplish getting the complete work done (from idea to working final product) in just a year. R-e-s-t-e-c-p for that! :-)
