I have been away for a long while on Minimig issues, so I just wondering on project status. :-D
1) When does the remaining AGA, and other patents expire?
No idea.
2) Anything interesting in regards to Bill & amiga. Or just noise as usual?
Not even any noise.
3) Is virtual floppy writing supported properly by now?
Yes, since August last year.
4) Is NTSC output working properly?
When wasn't it?
5) Any interesting new Minimig style project besides Clone-A, fpgaarcade, NatAmi, Illuwatar 2.0?
The C-One has a Minimig core too that has more RAM available plus the ability to use a real floppy drive attached to the IDE port.
6) Harddisc works? (likely as virtual disc-on-flash-file
)
Yes, but only with the ARM expansion board that replaces the PIC. I have one and it works great.
7) Ethernet network support? (sana compat?)
Nope, but serial networking should work.
Status on softcore 68000, any developments on softcore 68020 ..?
No idea.
9) Dram (SDRam) support, this would enable ~20 times more memory for the same money?
No idea.
10) Has any new worthwhile non-bga FPGA chips showed up to explore? :-D
No idea.
In addition, the next core from Jakub is supposed to cover non-expanded and ARM board expaned Minimigs. For the unexpanded Minimig you should have 2 floppy drives while the expaned one will have up to 4 floppies plus the hard file. In addition you can also set the 68000 to run at speeds from 7MHz to 28MHz.
