Are there any plans to make a board version that exactly fits as replacement motherboard in a stock A500, including the connectors that come outside the computer on the back, possible with newer replacement for video, etc.

This would be great retro-fit for A500 users, and one could take up the production of new A500 plastic cases as well, and sell it as an Amiga 500S. (S for Super) =)

Pascal

Besides that do you know the price of a board that size?

And please do not reply to my rant, it's bad of me to even post this here.

As i said in other post, I would like to see micro case and natami as Media center computer (beside TV). That could bring wider community to the platform.

Edit: there shouldn't be any problem using cables, flex or otherwise.

First of all thank you Ralph that is just what i was looking for.

And Megol flat cable is a bad idea they are very sensitive to electrical interference and besides that couldn't handle the Watts involved.(they would melt if used to power a floppy disk drive)
Using normal cables would suffice if the wires are thick enough.

Manual labor is too costly if i have to be honest a experienced solderer would cost about 12 Euro a hour (if not more) and keep in mind it would take about 5 to 7 minutes to make the adaptation, depending if it is totally hand soldered or is a modification prior to the soldering bath.(at which point you risk if badly soldered there is rework required)

Smaller production runs cost more then mass production, even for manual labor.

To have an A1200-Like case for NatAmi would be a dream...

I think it's a great idea and would broaden the Natami base, as everyone with a defective A500 and A1200 has an option to revive it in a modern way.

If you are refering to flat, flexible plastic cables (can't remember the proper name) you'd be right but still wrong. Those connectors linked above are made for standard gauge flat cables and that would work 100% reliable.

Yeah. But we aren't talking about rocket science here right? Cables and connectors are very easy to solder manually so someone with experience and equipment should be able to at least 10 Natami-to-A500 adapters/hour including basic function test.
(sorry for the very delayed response :/)

Megol VGA has a ground for each color.

HM, I am starting to see a pattern here that would explain the problems of using flat cable in parallel serial or game-ports.
And they have been used for the above in the past.

for the Atari standard game-ports flat cable is unfit, this has nothing to do with signal but with power requirements.

Besides that flat cable wires are one of the hardest things i had to solder since it's a single solid core and thinner then a CAT4 or CAT5 cable.

Yeah. If I'd have a dollar for each VGA cable that connects them to one lead I'd have... Well not that much. But it still isn't problem for the lengths we are talking about here. And it have to do with signal integrity and not power.

There's no power problem for the flat cables we are talking about here! I can't see how anyone can come to that conclusion given the evidence of the contrary which includes video signals, Atari game ports, PC game ports, RS232, floppys (Shugart style) and hard disks. I've seen minicomputers (the old kind, refrigerator size) that used flat cables to connect their processing boards. My old Wang PC used flat cables for internal video signals (it had two graphics cards interconnected). Internal USB cables have at least up to USB 2.0 speeds used untwisted flat cables (out of spec but 100% reliable).

Just looked up specification on a cable with standard division and it is specified at 0.8A -> two conductors on a short cable (to ignore resistive effects) can deliver e.g. 5V*0.8=4W. If that's not enough use more conductors.

Normally this kind of flat cable (a.k.a ribbon cable according to wikipedia: EXTERNAL LINK ) have multi-strand wires and are easy to work with given the right tools.
