I have to say this is quite nice stuff. Now it just needs the 020 core.


I think MikeJ has a nice and fast 030 core in the works.

If so (030), this is the REAL "NEW" affordable thing people are waiting for!
Excellent work without advertisig it!
Go on!

Great work.

Does this mean an FPGA board capable of using an external 68060 present may be available soon? This would be very good news.

Is it possible to use higher screensizes, like HighGfx' 1024x768 or similar?
It would be nice to see a (hopefully) quick demo of HAM8 workbench :)

One step closer to the allusive Amiga laptop.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

For the first time in close to 20 years, I'm actually interested in buying some dedicated Amiga hardware.

I don't need it, WinUAE is faster, but goddamnit I'm a hardware kind of guy (ask me about my PII/400 rig I'm building - go ahead, I dare you! :D ), and this excites me!

Can't wait until I can acquire one.

I have implemented all the AGA features into the Minimig core using MikeJ's Replay board. You can watch it running on YouTube.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/vn4ZzLH6MpE&hl=pl_PL&fs=1&">http://www.youtube.com/v/vn4ZzLH6MpE&hl=pl_PL&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344">[/youtube]

As there is no 68020+ IP core available the TG68 CPU core is used. It runs at 7.09 MHz with no bus latency and according to SysInfo is 1.85 faster than a stock A1200.

The 64 MB of DDR SDRAM is configured as 2 MB Chip, 1.5 MB Slow, 8 MB Fast and 48 MB of extra memory which can be used as additional Chip memory. You can have 50 MB of Chip RAM in total.
Man, if my arms could reach to Poland I'd hug you right now. Sir. I salute you, fantastic work.

Great job indeed, now we only need to have a 020 core implemented and it will be a PERFECT replacement for our old A1200's. I doubt that the most of the stuff would work on a 68K processor, no matter the speed.

I guess that chipmem size modifier works by adjusting mh_Upper and calling FreeMem() for the area to add? (that's how I would do it)


Actually I'm calling AddMemList() function with MEMF_CHIP attribute.

Is there room inside the Minimig v1.x FPGA for your AGA core?  Or the C-One?
