Can anyone post some dimensions, this might be a better option than a CD32 for a laptop conversion.  Yes I'm still going on about that laptop!


It´s as wide as a 5,25" drivebay and 30cm long, i had the idea of making a laptop of one once.I should even have a saved e-mail somewhere about how much current it draws.
 It could be the smallest amigalaptop in history! With a videolcd and flashpccard to ide-adapter it could be great.
I say go for it!
Now i regret spending all that money on pcupgrading last month :-( :boohoo:
Apple did it right the first time, bring back the Newton!

Hmm, perhaps I'll build the laptop board instead... Just because no one else has even attempted it!

Why not a pda/small embedded board instead :-)

This was indeed before the Boxer. But it's a really interesting thing! :-)

Some questions:

I could find some serious use for this if I would be able to hook it up to a network, however it seems to be a little "unexpandable". So does it have A1200 style clockport(s)? What other networking options would there be?
no clock port. realtimeclock on the board.

What Kickstart/Workbench version, and is that included?
3.1 don´t know if wbdisks is included

Were there some other kind of software included, i.e. flash memory tools?
My printout that was lying in the magazine with the article about it  states"CDFS in Flashrom" so there must have been utilities for the flashmem, if you can get them somewhere i don´t know.
