MiniMig with AGA

[kolla]

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.

I think this is pretty neat
How about a more A600/A1200 style one?

[kolla]

Hi Kolla,

Maybe you should look here...

;-)

I looked, wondering what was wrong with my browser, fired up the next browser, no... same thing. Ah, it's a game. Duh.

[kolla]

Well, if you add a CD-drive to the Replay you very much have a souped up CD32... oh man!

[kolla]

Have another look Kolla :-)

Any updates tonight?

[kolla]

Still waiting for some components...

Thanks for info

Would be nice if yaqube could do another video! *nudge nudge*
I would love to see some playing around with DeluxePaint, animation in highres laced full video overscan HAM8 for example, just to push the the limits... can it do that?

[kolla]

I also dont mind the extra cost for more connectors

[kolla]

Yaqube and I are in discussion about the first expansion board, which will contain USB and Ethernet as a minimum.

Excellent!

Yaqube and I are in discussion about the first expansion board, which will contain USB and Ethernet as a minimum.

BTW - chances are that the replay + expansion board will actually fit inside an A1200 or even A600 case - how about a keyboard controller for the A1200/A600 keyboards?

[kolla]

If this thing does take off you could always talk to AmigaKit to see if they are interested in funding a drop-in A1200 MB replacement option

That would be awesome, and I think you could easily make one to fit both A600 and A1200 cases. Regardless, this is something I would try to do myself. And yes, I could always use keyrah, but I'm not sure the USB on the expansion will handle USB keyboard/mouse well enough so that PS2 is not needed at all. I must admit that personally I would rather see the PS2 ports replaced with USB-1.1 ports alltogether, but I just assume PS2 is much cheaper and simpler to implement.

If you did go for the replacement 1200 MB option I wonder how much work it would be include a CardBus slot (eg update the PCMCIA)?

I think I'd rather put a USB card reader there, frankly, it's been years and years since I last saw a cardbus card now.

060 Expansion planned to run OS4 on

OS4 does not run on 060, it requires PowerPC.

[kolla]

Then there is battery, battery monitoring etc.

It's just a shame that there's no way to connect an existing A1200 keyboard to this new AGA Minimig

Yes - a real shame it is - you hear, Yaqube? :lol:

[kolla]

Actually I complain but the biggest issue is simply connecting the A1200 to a modern display. I use the indivision but it's a sem half assed solution as the thing even after warming up displays some glitches.

And what does this have to do with Minimig AGA?

[kolla]

I'm starting to wonder if the Amiga comunity will be purchasing the majority of them.

Hardly a problem though, is it? :lol:
