@AmigaBruno

It's called Mixel's Lab on Discord. Good luck with the CF card stuff.

OK, I'll try paying Mixel's Lab a visit. The main problem is the CF cards, though. The latest news is that the FAT32 CF card has become undetectable on my MacBook!

Hi fellow Amigans.

Amiga Addict magazine has always featured as much software, hardware, coding, design and multimedia within our magazine as possible.

We've had articles about classic programs such as DPaint, AMOS and Wordworth in the past - even SCALA as the cover feature in our latest issue.

Our aim will always be to promote everything Amiga-related and not just games (as much as we love them too!).

In order to keep delivering this high-quality mix of content to readers we're hoping to find regular software review contributors.

If you may be interesting in reviewing both new and old software releases, or useful utilities, then please express your interest or send a DM. (Our email is amiga@addict.media)

Thanks for your ongoing help and support to keep a printed Amiga magazine alive and still in newsagents. Best wishes,

Team AA.

ps. We're always looking for Amiga community submissions. If software isn't your interest, hit us up anyway and we'll be more than happy to publish your work or chat about how you could get involved. Cheers again!

Mixel is your man as you already know! He's on Discord if you want to ask him yourself!

Whereabouts on Discord is Mixel? Do you mean the Amiga Addict Discord? Anyway, my problem now is with the CF cards, as I explained in my last post.

Unfortunately, I can’t install the Amiga driver now! Here’s what’s happened.

At the moment I’ve got two AmigaOS CF cards which I’m using. One of these was formatted by Amigakit in SFS format. The other one is by a well known eBay seller Amiga One Haven in PFS format. Neither of these cards is currently being recognised by FS-UAE on my MacBook. I actually installed all the software on the Amigakit SFS formatted CF card, but I didn’t install anything on the PFS formatted CF card. However, I installed the software onto the SFS format CF card using Linux, NOT macOS. I did this in 2015, but I don’t remember all the details now.

After this problem came up, I decided to use the FAT32 formatted CF card which I’d been using with my Linux computers and this Amiga A1200 in the past. I transferred the driver file and some other files from Aminet onto it. Unfortunately, I then found that whatever I tried, the Amiga was unable to read this card! The error message was “No disk present in device CC0”. However, a mysterious new floppy disk called cf1: appeared, but it only contained files that I didn’t recognise.

After watching a video of how to set up an SFS disk in UAE, I remember that the user has to tell it what type of disk it is first of all. I don’t remember doing anything like that in 2015, though.

I found some old posts I made on here about a similar subject, but I’m not sure this will help me in the current situation. It does mention cf1 though. https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=75053.15

I think the FAT32 CF card may have become slightly corrupted so that it works on my MacBook, but doesn’t work on my Amiga, but I don’t know if this is possible. Things I’ve heard about CF cards becoming more expensive and only 1 in 3 of them working with Amigas don’t encourage me to just buy another one, though.

I hope someone can give me some advice on how I can install the Amiga driver for this tablet onto one of my CF cards.

Certainly worth a try, thanks!

Well I managed to get the ARM controller board flashed and working. It has taken a couple of days to track down ARM and FPGA files, since they seem to be scattered to the four corners of the wind.

I've catalogued all of the files I've found so far on my wiki: https://www.target-earth.net/wiki/doku.php?id=blog:amiga_minimig_index

With the plethora of later models and combinations of hardware it has been tricky to work out what works with what. It's even more difficult when almost none of the core or firmware releases come with changelog or readme files, or files are tagged with 'upload' dates and not the date of their release, so looking inside zip files is essential.

I *think*, therefore, the latest versions of the FPGA core and the ARM controller firmware I found are:

arm_asb230428.zip - https://www.minimig.ca/index.php/software/
minimig-rel4.zip - https://somuch.guru/minimig/original-minimig/

Anyway, I've found most of what I need. It's disappointing that the old forum on minimig.net is gone, as that seemed to be a source of a lot of information - including, IIRC, a guide on how to upgrade the memory.... which is what I am now looking for.
