More assembled MiniMigs?

I am a little out of the loop too. I heard a discussion about assembly, but am wondering what is happening. This seems like an item that can be mass produced and has a market outside of the Amiga community.

What would a board do? Would we need any other peripherals for it to work, or simply add adf or hdf images to have it up and running.

To get in to the toy stores and do well in the electronic shops, the $99 price point is important.

Anything over $150 and it might be relegated to hobbiests

I'd be happy to place a banner ad on my site if one become available. I'd do it at no charge too. I guess I should get my AMiga site up and running instead of talking about it, but it hard as I have just successfully got UAE working. Now I have access to every Amiga I ever wanted!

I heard talk before about someone working out the details to make them overseas in Asia. Has anyone heard anything further about this?

Let's take a page out of Marketing 101.

Sell one device, entry level with no upgrade potential. It comes out fo the box ready to work with games onboard. It has a card reader or other device to allow more games to be purchased. This would have fewer connectors and be perfect for someone wanting to just play games

Now sell another device that can be upgraded. Perhaps there can be two of these, but right now, I would image just one. If allgoes well, release an AGA compatible one.
