Post by: ronvs on February 20, 2006, 12:41:06 AM

Saturday we had a Commodore show in Maarssen (Holland). Jan Derogée showed his 1541-III. This is an 1541 emulator in a PIC-microcontroller with a multi-media card for storage. Dennis van Weeren showed his Minimig this is a A500 inside a FPGA.

Cool, good photos!

Nice to see an SX-64 and PET up and running in 2006! And of course, the all-important MiniMig!

On one of the pictures you can see the output of the Minimig. On the photo you see the disktracks been read but with a press on the board button you get the diskselector screen. Unfortunately also in the terminal, but Dennis is working on OnScreenDisplay so you can select the drive on screen overlaying the Amiga Screen.

Thanks for that info and the pic.  This is a fascinating project and I glad to see some "real" hardware in development, instead of watching the usual vapour trails.

heh i had one of those chunky tvs with the carry handle and the 4 inch screen for a few years, ran a c16 through it at one point but one time i hooked up my miggy with stunt car racer on and played it through that too :-) very handy for anything with a console output that you dont really need a stonking great display for... just a shame about the depth

oh, jsut finished looking through the photos, that's not a tv it's some freaky computer system replete with 5" drives. there goes my geek badge :-)

cycloid, that's a SX-64, the "portable" version of the C64.
