I'm looking for a (preferably new) ARM controller for the minimig v1.1.

I've searched through many a-thread for availability and have no idea who I should contact to purchase of these.

Are there distributors in the US?

Thanks
kamiga

An arm controller is probably worth more than the minimig itself :)

you can try to contact farenheit on minimig.net

that is where i got mine. I'm not sure if he sold them all.

Can someone remind me of exactly what the Arm board for the MiniMig gives you above and beyond the regular PIC controller?

If I install 4mb of RAM on my MiniMig v1.1 project (I bought a bare pcb and all the parts) and use the PIC controller instead of trying to find an Arm board for it, what will I be losing?

Back in the early days the PIC was limited to fat16, 8 character file names, did not support hard disk files, etc, so the ARM was a substantial upgrade.

it still probably is a nice upgrade for the speed, and I'm glad I have it, but at this point I'd wait for Replay which is Minimig 2.0
