Contaced a Factory in China about producing a run of fully populated Mini-migs

[tonyyeb]

Looking forward to seeing the prices....

[tonyyeb]

I think the target price for a 1.1 fully assembled should be no more than $150US (around £75 - £80GBP). Not too expensive but getting closer to a relistic mass production cost. But of course until we know real figures it still all pie in the sky stuff.

Guys can we keep this thread on topic instead of bashing various countries manaufacturing standards.

Thanks

$20 USD there is a sega master system clone with 2 PSX controllers (without rumble or analog controls, but with db-9 conectors),

Has anyone verified that these PS1 Style db9 contollers work with Amigas? If so I can get them costed in China. My agent can probably find out who makes them and do a small run.

Maybe get the Minimigs first then look at controllers... please!

$200 for a beta sounds very encouraging. PM Sent to be added to the list.

Who cares if it has LFN or not? Oh the hardship of renaming your adf files to 8.3 format!

[tonyyeb]

Any news on these?

Thanks

[tonyyeb]

Any news on this? Nearly two weeks since last update?

[tonyyeb]

Any joy with your Minimig Crom00?

[tonyyeb]

Any news Crom? Got any rough dates in mind for delivery of the beta boards?

[tonyyeb]

How long before you want to cold hard cash??!

[tonyyeb]

Just about to order a competition pro joystick.... hope the minimigs are coming soon!

Wow, what a vitriolic set of posts. For a reference I'm from the UK and I'd actually say that the common perception is that most things manufactured in the USA is a piece of c**p. Then again many also think that things made in France are a piece of c**p, or Italy, or Spain... well you get the idea.

In fact most of goods made in China are of a pretty high standard. Certainly as good as anywhere else in the world.

You want yours made in America or Taiwan. Then go to the lengths that Crom00 is going too with his production run. He's sourcing factories, prices, components and forking out for initial test MiniMigs.

As MiniMig is OPEN SOURCE so if someone else wants to make one THEY CAN. There is no copyright there to protect!!!

Well said!!!

It's tough to.... SNIP .... minimig is made in china ...

Give up. If people, like you, have a problem with China (or any other country) they wont buy products made in that country. Period. Stop trying to impose your opinion on others. I'll buy my products from whoever I see fit.
