So, a new batch of Mini-itx MiniMig 2.0 boards has arrived (24 available):



They will go for €20 each + shipping & packing.

A fully working board will be €270 + any PayPal fees (if used) + shipping. They are put together by hand, so I can't give any delivery time, specially now during summer time (during July, I will be mostly out from home).

€270 may look much compared to these US prices, but You have to count for that my costs are much higher too (buy in € + the high taxes in Sweden). And as the board is larger and contains more parts compared with the original one, there are more than 6 hours per board. But I prefer to sell just bare PCBs as these hours could be spent on other, more fun ways. A €20 is rather cheap for a pro-made dual layer board in Mini-itx size.

And to everyone that wants a PCB now (before my vacation), please send me PM's so I could wrap it up and send them all during the weekend to come. I don't have that much time now so I can run with each individual package over several days. An estimated cost for shipping (actual will be calculated when I have the packing material) is €5 for Europe and €7 for the rest or the World.

I did once in a time a calculation of the part cost (the BOM is in Excel format so it was rather easy) and ended up at €160 without adding any taxes or custom fees. The bad exchange rate today for the SEK (Swedish Krona) will make it higher today. The PCB itself is the single cheapest part regarding it's size and complexity as long as it stays 2-layer. Regarding the work, I basically do this for free.

PM's are slowly dropping in and boards are being wrapped up...


By the way, the MiniMig is a FPGA-based piece of kit. What you run on the thing is decided by the code in that chip. I does not have to be Amiga (even if it is the initial intention of the board). Try that trick on your old A500...

Last call if you want a board shipped before July 11. Then I will be away a week, not being able to send something until July 20.
