MIST - Atari ST / Amiga fpga CLONE

[mongo]

I was impressed by the USB ports on the MIST which aren't present on either the Minimig or the Replay board.  Finding PS2 keyboards and mice isn't as easy these days as one would think.  And unlike the Minimig, the MIST doesn't use a real 68K CPU but a soft-CPU in the fpga that leaves the door open for higher speeds and more varieties of CPUs as well. Thanks for the info about Lotharek.  I hope that in 3 years his skills have improved!

The Replay has an optional USB port for keyboards and mice.

That's a good question.  Lotharek's page seems to imply that there's up to 14 MB of chip RAM but I'm that sounds a bit odd.  I'm thinking it's actually 16 MB total RAM with 2 MB set aside for chip RAM.  Lotharek mentions that his board is using Minimig cores so it should be able to use the AGA core as long as there's enough room on the fpga.....not sure about that.

MIST can't do 24 bit video. If I remember correctly it's limited to 18 bit, so colours would be wrong with AGA.
