I hope that over time, the Minimig might evolve to something that can be a drop in replacement for even high end m68k systems.  :-)

Chipset emulation is already "good enough", IDE-drive emulation is coming soon... then more RAM, and maybe someone finds a way to hook in a gfx chipset, and before you know it we're tearing out the 68060s from our old machines to populate high end minimigs  :lol:

Huh, RAM upgrade? How much RAM is the result?

It adds another 2MB to the board to give 3.5MB total which is enough to use WHDload with the 28MHz 68000 and the Hard File for playing games from Workbench (assuming you don't want to load them from the ADFs).



Interesting - any reason why up to 8 MB is not possible on Minimig as well?

Btw - why havent I seen anything about this on www.minimig.net ? :-)
