@yaq

Email me when ready, so I can change the CAD for the enclosure (and send me the board, or one of them).


Perhaps you could trade him an enclosure for a board.   :lol:

@ Boing4000:

Drool!!!  When you do, remember to post a link to it on here in bloody big letters so I can't miss it.   :-D

@ Boing4000

I've got to disagree with you here ;-)

If we were to take your stand then nobody should have been able to update/upgrade their A500 and everything should have been developed for ECS and 0.5MB RAM.  :-D

I'm sure cores will still be developed to push the original board to the limits, but we should also look towards enhancing the board to exceed those limits just like we do with our "real" Amigas.

We already have a Minimig that subsitutes for an mostly unexpanded A500+, so the next phase should be to look at "expansion boards" otherwise the only other option is a completely new motherboard.

@ Boing4000

The rule of thumb when it comes to the Amiga is that if the chip and be removed from the socket then it is fair game for upgrading.   :rtfm:

If the Minimig PIC was meant to stay as it was then it should have been WELDED in place.   :lol:

Anyway, I'm looking forward to "modifying" my board with your core by running some wires to a "turbo swtich".  Just out of interest, is it safe to clock the 68000 used on the Minimig at higher speeds that 7MHz or do we risk damaging them?

Great!  I'm looking forward to it.

I don't get off this oil rig until the 17th so there's no rush.  Use the extra days to add DF1: support, hard file support and emulate a complete Cybervision643D in the FPGA.   :-o

Yes!  I got it!!!  :-D

Now I just have to wait until Thursday to try it.  :-(

Could any other comments be posted on the:
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38008
thread, that way it will bounce to the top of the Amiga.org list when someone posts and it will remind people to fill in the Wiki.
