Now that the new write enabled core has been released there is a sudden rush of new interest in the Minimig v1.1 boards.

Yes, the increased interest is very cool and may lead to even more improvements to the core.  Thank you Dennis for inventing the MiniMig and to all of the people working on enhancements to the original design.

In addition to the information you are collecting on the Wiki, or anywhere else, I would like to know just how many MiniMig's have been sold to and how many have been built by A.org members?  Also how many total MiniMigs are out there by now?

The MiniMig is such a cool development in the history line of the Amiga.  We as a community should be very proud of Dennis and what he has done.  It has opened a door that will lead to many other amazing projects I think.

Quite a few people ordered blank boards before then, but sourcing the parts and soldering the chips was harder than expected.

Tell me about it!

I am still sourcing the last of the needed parts for my own MiniMig. :boohoo:

At the end of the day, unless you want to take on a major job of sourcing parts and doing some very fine soldering, you have 2 choices of boards to buy:

#1. The Minimig v1.1 from Acube
#2. The C-One from Indivision with Minimig expansion board.

I think you forgot another choice.........

What about Illuwatar's MiniMig in Mini-ITX v2.0 form that is looking more orders so it can go to production?  He is offering it as a bare board and also assembled, but the assembled ones will take some time to get, as he is doing all the work himself (I think) and putting them together one at a time.  It looks like a very good design and will fit standard Mini-ITX cases.  The cost for a bare board is very low.

One of the advantages of the MiniMig's size is that if the store will allow it, you could take the MiniMig with you and hook it up before you buy, if they have the model of monitor/TV on display and plugged in and they have an extra outlet for your power supply.
