I've had to pop back to China for a brief trip, so I won't get any boards shipped out until early November.

On the plus side, I am sourcing parts for the daughter board and working on the new AGA core. I getting some ATX IO shields made, and one board has been sent for EMC testing (CE/FCC etc).

So, it's all coming together ....

Is EMC testing for CE/FCC compliance really required even for this kind of run?, there's some exempts for components that are not a "full system". Ie circuit boards with components.

"A component made by a supplier for installation into a final product may need CE marking. If the component can be sold commercially and used independently, such as electronic circuit boards, electric motors, or computer disc drives, then CE marking will be required."

Otoh, the authorities usually require one to test before sales not while selling ;)

A PC that is umteen times bigger, pulls a heck lot more power, and still is uncapable of cycle exact emulation? We already got those.

Natami doesn't do cycle exact emulation. It's not even on their list of things they want to try. Atom power requirements are quite low, you could even go for ARM and just run AROS.
 
The advantage of going for 68000 compatibility is you get to run existing Amiga software. If you need to recompile it to make it quick because they'd rather add new instructions than speed up existing ones then it's missed the point completely.

@MikeJ will you be opening a online checkout at your fpgaarcade.com website once you made the big batch of fpga arcades or will buy them amigakit or somewhere?

Yes, that's the plan.
I'm in China this week and I have not been able to answer some emails, I will catch up soon.

I'm trying to get an ATX IO panel made as we discussed. It's going well, the only issue is the cost will work out in the 10-15 Euro region. They need to be laser cut (unless I want 10,000).

How do people feel about the price, is it ok or no interest?

Will it include cut-outs for the daughter board?

I'd be up for one at 10-15 euro's.

Maybe a plastic cover version could be made on-the-cheap?

Yeah an ATX panel with a color plastic label would be worth $20 if it looked tits. $25 even. Hell I'll make my own label.  Just a tin cutout panel is enough.

Just more idle ramblings--- could a ppc daughtercard be made for this sucker?  They gotta be cheaper than 060's.  How about a standard a1200 expansion interface?  Possibilities... om nom nom.
