So far, I've stayed (mostly) quiet about the minimig situation. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fantastic what Dennis has achieved, and I'm curious to see where all this will lead, and I have one thought on this matter that I have no idea has been explored or not, so apologies if it has.
Why a minimig "board?" Or, more specifically, why JUST a minimig running with an m68k supporting only legacy games? Why not a minimig graphics card? In other words, forget keyboards, serial ports and all that jazz and instead create a MODERN graphics card using what minimig has learned to support UAE, AROS, MorphOS and OS4.0? Leave the keyboard, mouse, serial and even USB to UAE and the like, and use minimig to support the legacy software?
Like I said, just a random crazy thought. I'm no expert in this matter, but it seems feasible, and practical, to me to use what we have already today with what minimig can bring tomorrow to make a better Amiga, if only an emulated one.
Two cents.

I've been thinking kinda the same thing, but then an USB thingy, with connectors for floppydrive and joystick, and a plugin for winUAE :-)
