WTB: ARM controller for minimig

[amigadave]

Can someone remind me of exactly what the Arm board for the MiniMig gives you above and beyond the regular PIC controller?

If I install 4mb of RAM on my MiniMig v1.1 project (I bought a bare pcb and all the parts) and use the PIC controller instead of trying to find an Arm board for it, what will I be losing?

The ARM controller only speeds up disk access.

The latest 4MB firmware does everything the ARM can except access to the SD card Hard Disk File is slower.

We asked the original creator of the ARM controller if we could manufacture them for sale in our webstore, but unfortunately had no reply.

Thanks for the info and I agree, keep asking the creator of the ARM board until you get a reply.

Since I already have a Replay board, I doubt I will spend the extra money to get an ARM board for the MiniMig.

@Yaqube,

You talked me into it.  If someone else hasn't claimed it already, I will buy your last ARM board for the MiniMig.

See your PMail

I sent him a PM about an hour or so ago claiming it.

Thanks

Good choice!  Congrats on deciding to buy it (drats!).

I hope that someone like AmigaKit, or ACube gets the design from the creator(s) and mass produces it with the MiniMig v1.1, as it appears to make it a much better computer system.

....  This could have been the case with the ARM controller.

I hope this statement does not mean that you have given up on trying to work with the creator(s) of the MiniMig ARM board to get it produced in higher quantities and made available in your store?

Did you ever get a reply from him/them?
