Hi all,

To anyone who already owns a Minimig...please quote the specs of your PSU :rtfm:

Because I've been told a package has arrived at home & I'm sure it is the Minimig I ordered.

After work (in 20 minutes :-o ) I plan to buy a power supply on the way home so I can have fun with my new toy :-D

Yes, because I live in Australia & I'd rather use one designed for here than use an adaptor for a UK or European one.

Now, please tell me your specs before I leave work, please? :-)

Well, I found something suitable (5v 450mA), BUT...

The {bleep}ing Minimig won't work! :madashell:

My monitor is getting no signal & the "drive" LED keeps flashing six times, pauses, then flashes six times again & so on.

WTF?!?!

From the error flash documentation:

"6: MMC or SD flash card not found/recognized"

Do I need to format the SD card a different way? :getmad:

I already told on EAB you that isn't the problem Alex.

Cheers Darrin, but I wouldn't think that's the issue here, as the error code shows it can't see the SD card.

I can confirm that it and three other cards I've tried were most certainly FAT16, but it still doesn't recognise them.

Anyone have any more ideas on this?

Problem solved! :-D

Mac OSX didn't work, formatting as FAT16 with Gparted in Linux did.
