Minimig Setup Help

[Philski]

Hi all!

So I finally got around to ordering a Minimig which arrived today (thanks Amigakit!) and it's looking great in it's new case (thanks Lorinano!), however I'm having trouble getting it working.

I downloaded minimig 1.pic from Vesalia and copied it to an SD card along with a kickstart rom and Workbench ADF from Amiga Forever, however on boot up I get a red screen with a message stating incompatible pic firmware.

Could someone help out a noob and let him know what he's doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Phil

Thanks for the info.  Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I go about using this? Can it be done via SD card or do I need to connect the Minimig to a PC?

Thanks so much for all the great info! Must confess I'm a little surprised it won't boot straight out the box...

Do I recall that you can use an Amiga to update the PIC? I'm looking at Mac compatible USB serial adapters and bootloader software but it's looking like a fair bit of confusion as to what works.  I'm wondering if it might be easier to use my A600.  Is there any bootloader that will work with the Amiga by any chance?

No one that lives close unfortunately.  I might be able to get a spare 5 minutes at work though just need to remember that NULL MODEM SERIAL CABLE

Please do not change the firmware on the Minimig - we have already updated it to the most appropriate new version.  Please wait for our Technician response to your inquiry.

We do not ship the Minimig with old firmware on it.  We test every Minimig before sending to customers.

You need to use the appropriate files on the SD card to match the firmware we have flashed it with.  You get these if you buy an SD card with the Minimig.

Our Technician can point you in the right direction to which files to use.

I'll hold back on that!  Thanks, I figured it was more than likely a fault at my end.
