Mini-Mig Bill of Materials

[AJCopland]

Worrying about the legality of the MiniMig hardware is ... almost completely pointless.

The fact is that you could program whatever you like into the MiniMig. It's almost certainly a mere matter of time until someone has setup an Atari clone in one in fact many 68000 based machine could be replicated in it.

It was designed to do the job of providing an environment that the Amiga could be replicated in using the correct software.
Now the software might theoretically be somehow tainted enough that someone might be able to bring a case that got to court... maybe. The hardware however... I just can't see it being possible and I'd lend whatever coding ability I have to reproducing as many 68k based paltforms in the MiniMig hardware as is humanely possible just to muddy the waters if anyone tried :-D

Also, I have added a second page with some clarifications to the BOM here.

Thanks Dennis that'll save me hunting around for the parts and should speed everything up

Glad to see you've still got time to see how things are slowly progressing!

The only other thing that comes near being Amiga specific is the m68k and joystick ports.

near? I would say "far". The m68k was used on the atari st, the apple classic macintosh, the sharp x68000, the sega genesis and all of the above except the apple macintosh used the same de-9 joystick ports.

Sega Genesis/Megadrive, totally forgot about that! Those things would be perfect for this and there's a metric tonne of emulators based around it out there. Brilliant! Change the files on the MMC and you've got another computer entirely.
