MiniMig with AGA

[kolla]

Yay, this is much more news worthy than X1000 if you ask me!

Is it possible to use higher screensizes, like HighGfx' 1024x768 or similar?
It would be nice to see a (hopefully) quick demo of HAM8 workbench

I cant help but wonder, why does minimig use a 68000 cpu, rather than a coldfire with CK68KLib running in 68060 mode? Seems like a logical progression with AGA on the way.

Because the various 68000 variants are still mass produced, and unlike coldfire,  dirt cheap? Also, the aim with original MiniMig was "A500 clone".

[kolla]

Um, y'all do know that the v3 and higher coldfire chips are faster and cheaper than all of those 68Ks

Not quite true, the cheapest coldfires are still twice the price of the typical 68000s.

Who am I to argue with Dr Righteous  :rolleyes:

Bump!

What reference?

You're welcome.

All the IO fit in a standard ATX IO window.

How about the backplate, when can we expect the backplate, can I preorder a backplate? :laughing:

[kolla]

@Kolla - Unless I read something wrong in his last post MikeJ stated that the connectors would fit in a standard Mini-ITX or ATX Backplate. There may be an empty connector hole or two I would think.

There is no standard backplate, the standard just covers the window in the case. Or do you really think all ATX machines have the exact same connectors? It should be obvious that this is not the case

Btw, my posting was ofcourse meant as a joke, but still... will there be a backplate? :laughing:

[kolla]

same here.

I assume that this first batch is reserved for skillfull people like Yaqube and boing4000, and their peers of Atari ST and whatever other platforms the Replay targets. That would surely be for everyone's benefit, right?

[kolla]

They might be slow by PC standards, but they are way faster at productivity work than AGA ever was.

But what productivity work is this project good for? SCALA, Deluxe Paint, Brilliance, various old music, and animation software. What do they all have in common? Do not work well with RTG.
Personally I cant wait to play with DPaint on AGA with heaploads of chipram, just hope it will work

[kolla]

I wonder if there is a enough room to add RTG to the FPGA.
I hope this leads to an Amiga software revival.

Why would it? Seriously, if RTG is so important, then why not get a Mac mini with MorphOS or some OS4 box already? As a bonus you get PowerPC, heck lot more CPU power and RAM, and they are available *now*!

At least the C64 &CD32 had a switch on the case.

Not just a switch, it's the very same switch, CBM were saving money using left over parts from the C64 production.
