ACube and A-EON announce One Vision on future Amiga co-operation

Acube were showing their Minimig+ board.

Any details on that?  Extra RAM and a built in ARM Controller would be ideal.

Lots of photos on Pianeta Amiga's Facebook page.

Damn, I'm at work and can't access Facebook.

No info, just this:

Cheers for that!

I see the real CPU is still there, there's the standard PIC socket, a battery for a RTC...  Is that a place for a 3rd RAM chip to the left of the traditional two?

It is good to see the Minimig getting a makeover as the design is more or less what Dennis rolled out all those years ago.

I look at my board with the soldered RAM chips and patch wire, the cut solder joint to boost the HDF speed and the ARM board and think back to my first days with it when it couldn't even write to an ADF, there was no HDF file, no turbo mode, no detailed on-screen configuration and having to use a serial link to a PC to reflash it.  It has come a long way, but what are "optional extras" really need to be "standard" now.
