Here's my Minimig running ClassicWorkbench 3.x:

Here's how I installed it into a PS2 keyboard:


Here's another shot of it running Defender of the Crown on a more sensible monitor:


Cool! - I'm getting one for sure! - How does one get WB to load off an sd card on the Minimig? - Is it just with the ADF? Can anyone explain it?

Thanks for the input everyone! :)

My parent's have allowed me to pay less rent this coming month, (I live at home to save money) so I can go ahead and buy the Minimig. I'm gonna order the SD card with it so that I'll have one when it gets here.

Does anyone have a good idea of a case for it? - I'm thinking of making one out of Plexiglass. The actual case that AmigaKit sells for it is out of stock. (And I don't want to spend 50+ for it) Plexiglass at Home Depot is like $10-15 for a small sheet, which makes more sense.

I'm so excited!!!

It is small enough to put in a cigar box.  :D


Now that's an interesting idea! - The HEB down the street gives cigar boxes away for free. I used to grab them to store stuff in. :)
