Can I just add an SD brand here that works with my Minimig ?

Unity (UnityDigital) 1GB
A4000D - CSMKII//128MB/IDE CF/Indivision Scandoubler
A1200
A1000

(And now a Minimig) :>)

Is there differences  on the board you can buy (abube sell them i believe?) today, and the ones from last year ? I mean, am I screwed if I buy one today and when new fixes comes out, it will be HW dependant so I have to buy a new minimig board, or is all the fixes done in the SW of the card so I can flash it (new core?) ??

In short: Should I order one Today ? :-)


Entirely up to you.

The Minimig has three parts.

Board
Pic
FPGA.

The Board is going to pretty much stay the same.
PIC, is what controls loading of ADF files, flashes the FPGA at boot etc, and FPGA is where all the Guts go.

Updating minimig is just a matter of reprogramming the PIC (IF needed), and updating the FPGA is just a matter of changing the core file on the SD card.
