Would like to make a CD32 laptop myself, I am getting stuck on how to power the motherboard with laptop batteries though, is there a website of battery specifications because as I understand it you need +5v and +12v and ground on the CD32. Will also need preferably a scart modification to the board to power a 14 or 15 inch LCD TV screen.
Sadly I am no electronics wizzard to overcome the above two problems and also there is the issue of once the donor laptop motherboard is removed then the charging circuit for the battery is also scuppered so thats the 3rd problem I have.
It's definately do-able though, the Amiga's are so efficient and low power compared to even most pentium laptops that I can see it's a case of just adding the extra functionality. And the CD32 being the most compact (if a little crippled) of the motherboards with AGA would be an ideal start. There is always the possibility of getting a dead 17inch laptop to use the A1200 board with but then you will need a Widescreen 17inch slim TV LCD to take the RGB signal and add the CD drive aswell so that would be more expensive, too expensive as a hobby thing?
