Minimigs on UK Ebay, and check out the sticker on the mobo!

Now, I have the soldering tools and ability (fingers crossed), thanks to investing in a hot air solder rework station a few months back, but I don't have the FPGA programming tools - does anyone have the skills and tools to supply the FPGA?

The FPGA is programmed directly from the SD/MMC card whic you'll have to write from a PC or MAC I guess.

I've got two front PCMCIA ports on my A4000 which work perfectly with SD/MMC card readers/writers, so I'll try to keep this an "all Amiga" project :-) I even bought the bare board using my AmigaOne to access Ebay :lol:

Did you mean a PIC programmer instead as I think that has to be programmed.

Thanks mate, didn't realise that. Yes, I'd need to source a programmed PIC, or a PIC programmer. Might be relatively cheap to source, or I could try contacting on old University professor who might be interested...

Using a scsi-pcmcia bridge (the MPL McDisk-E).
It provides 2 PCMCIA ports, allowing memory cards, compact flash, etc to be read (using a PCMCIA adapter), and claims to allow access to PCMCIA I/O cards too (although, since no Amiga drivers exist as yet, this is purely theoretical).
Works fine with memory cards though :-)

I have (somewhere) also a pcmcia box with a scsi interface, but I didn't know it would work on an Amiga. And I don't remember the brand. Where did you get the driver?

No driver required for this, the memory card is seen as a hard disk under hdtoolbox.
SCSI ID is set using jumpers on the board, and the unit uses standard scsi command set, so no drivers required.
