Honestly, if there is to be a re-run of the Pheonix, I'd like to see some of the short-comings of the original design overcome.  From what I have read about it, the positioning of the Zorro slot (and possibly the video slot) made it difficult if not impossible to use.

And since we have newer technology available, a clock port, ability to use 72-pin SIMMs for memory, and an IDE interface would be nice while we're at it.  Granted, such a task would undoubtedly increase the price of the unit.

That's not to say that I am not interested in possessing a production of the original design, I'm just shooting for Jupiter :-)  Isn't the Pheonix pretty much the only "Fan Clone" of the Amiga?
