Lets contribute towards a MINIMIG FAQ!

Maybe answers for these can contribute towards a Minimig FAQ

1. How compatible is it with a normal Amiga 500?

2. Is there a list of compatible games and other software?

3. Is the kickstart rom left in the flash memory card or its written to an eprom on board?

4. What kind of disk images can minimig handle? ADF? DMS?

5. How do multiple disk games deal with this?

6. Can a "hard drive" be mounted in the flash memory card?

7. How much memory does it come with?


Feel free to answer/add more questions

1. How compatible is it with a normal Amiga 500?

2. Is there a list of compatible games and other software?

3. Is the kickstart rom left in the flash memory card or its written to an eprom on board?
It's on the flashcard.

4. What kind of disk images can minimig handle? ADF? DMS?

5. How do multiple disk games deal with this?

6. Can a "hard drive" be mounted in the flash memory card?
Not yet.

7. How much memory does it come with?
2 Megabyte - 512k are used for kickstart ROM, 1.5 Megabyte are used as normal Amiga RAM (Chipmem/Fastmem)

8. Can the Minimig be upgraded by just replacing the FPGA core? Could compatibility be improved for example just by putting an updted core on the MMC?

9. What CPU does it come with?
68000, just like a real A500

10. What ports does it come with?
Spare 4x generic I/O from the fpga (GPIO)
JTAG for programming chips (TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK)
Serial Port (RS232)
2 Joystick ports - Amiga joysticks
VGA (15-pin) (which can output PAL compatible signals to connect to SCART)
