Oh - sorry, misunderstanding, I thought you wanted to design something for the C-One. The C-One ia "almost ATX", but Clone-A will have a custom form factor, NOT ATX.

The exact form factor is not known yet, as the project evolves.

So timelines are:

Consumer Clone-A.........next 6 months?

I have said nothing about a timeline in this thread. Please don't try to push me into a direction where I'm not going. I already made the mistake of giving an outlook on a production date/time for the Clone-A machine that I was thinking of back in 2007, and I missed that. Now that ideas evolved even more, and the concept of the "living-room-compatible computer" is continued to a degree where I wouldn't have imagined it only a few months ago, I'm sure that I'd miss any other timeline as well.

It's done when it's done, and technical specs that I have mentioned here may change (mostly improve). Like I said, Clone-A is a HUGE project, and I have only mentioned a subset of the possibilities here. That's why the C-One hardware will at some point not be able to be Clone-A any more - the hardware is just not powerful enough to do all that. However, it's already powerful enough to outperform Minimig.

It's worth waiting for. However, I can't, and therefore will not give an outlook on how long the wait will be. It would be just another thing that we've seen too often in the Amiga market: Big announcements and nothing ever comes. I'd like to be a little bit better than that (although I do have my share of not-yet-delivered products...).

I am going to design one for the C-One too. How many C-One are around?

>>but Clone-A will have a custom form factor, NOT ATX.

Excellent! I thrive on custom boards :-) I have spent 6 months on the Minimig case, and another challenging board is welcome.

Could you please keep me informed on dimensions etc...eventually I would need a final board to test the case.

I am very excited about this project.

Sorry, it wasn't my intention, just a question...but it's ok like that, I had the same problem with my enclosure and I was running around like a mad man! :-)

I think that is more than understandable, after all you are hte only person who really knows how long and how hard you have got to work on this, I am fine with that. :-)

True, so many projects, not enough time...I really wanted that A600 accelerator by the way ;-)
