Minimig shows actually a new insight: open source computers. Cheap-ass integrated circuits which are easily programmable, makes it a lot easier to design computers yourself.
Ahhh, a future, of open-source machines, with open source OS wich neatly makes advantage of the hardware, in harmony so to say...
tis a good thought :-)

The chances of all four of my A500s dying are very slim. I paid probably 50USD for all of them.


Have you checked the batteries lately?  
:-?
Maybe the A500+ has a battery standard in it, but a plain A500 not AFAIK :-?

I would be extremely exstatic about a handheld Amiga. This is the beginnings of an Amiga PDA.
Maybe someone is crazy enough to put it in a dead Atari Lynx (with still working buttons, speakers and screen) :lol:
