When will there be a test on the ATA interface??
Also is the any thought of designing it with a passive RCA output for home stereo?

I just got the PCB back from the board house, I hope to be working on it in the next few weeks. The software driver for it should be easy.
I'm not sure what a line output entails, since I don't know much about analog design. If it is just a question of a suitable connector, that can be arranged.
Otherwise the major pieces of work missing are USB to enable data transfer and a suitable enclosure.

what about a battery management control chip?

I have no plan for that, since the mini2440 is not designed for battery operation it uses too much power. The mini2440 is really only suitable for home/car operation. The PATA interface board has space for a 5V regulator, so I guess you could hook up a 9/12V battery pack if size/weight is not an issue.
I have been looking at designing a portable handheld DAP with a 1.8" disk, and if/when the mini2440 project is completed, I hope to work more on that. Hopefully the Opendous project will have produced some usable hardware by then which can be used as the basis for a design.

I think Domonoky is trying to work on USB...
And for enclosure, I am working to get my RepRap alike 3D printer to work correcly, would be nice if in begin of January I could start printing and design one enclose for Mini2440. Is there anyone that knows how to design a plastic enclosure on Blender or other similar program?
As for now, I got this print object (video here):
And soon I will start offering the service of selling Mini2440 system with Rockbox working on it, and full of music files with Creative Commons License.

It's ABS.
I am not being able to print with detail... I have a lot to make in my printer for it full working. At least I already started to learn and design in 3D and I am sure I could now easily design a enclosure for Mini2440.
