Right, it's time to get back into the Minimig again.  When I get home this Friday I'll install the new firmware and then send my board off to AmigaKit for the 4MB upgrade.

Well I updated the firmware, replaced the bin file and it works a treat!  I like the new menu system and I've left mine configured as a PAL ECS 68000 at 25MHz with 4 floppies and a 20MB hard drive.

Now I have to remove it from the keyboard "case" and send it off to Amigakit for the RAM upgrade.

The ARM board makes upgrading so easy compared to fiddling around with a serial cable and a PC.  The Minimig could make an ideal Xmas retro console if mass produced cheaply and bundled with some great classic games.
