MiniMig with AGA

[B00tDisk]

For the first time in close to 20 years, I'm actually interested in buying some dedicated Amiga hardware.

I don't need it, WinUAE is faster, but goddamnit I'm a hardware kind of guy (ask me about my PII/400 rig I'm building - go ahead, I dare you! ), and this excites me!

Can't wait until I can acquire one.

Don't tempt me :hammer:

Tempt you?  Psh.  You don't have the guts to try it.  C'mon!  I dare you!  I double dog dare you!

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.

This isn't a mini-mig, though; this is an FPGA Arcade board.  Different beast, I guess?

The board will fit in any mini-itx case (or atx case for that matter).
It is basically half mini-itx depth, same width so the front two mounting holes work. All the IO fit in a standard ATX IO window.

50 PCBs being made, the first 10 will be populated. If there are no problems, the rest will be populated and more boards ordered.
Once the design work is done, they can knock them out pretty fast here.

What do you estimate the price will be for a fully populated board?

@ EvilGuy
I wonder if this will be the best A1200.

Again, I can't wait.  I've played with WinUAE (and it is damn good) off and on for years now, but deep down inside I'm a tinker-with-hardware kind of guy and this excites me.

I could say some things about post C= "Amiga" but it would be neither kind nor constructive so I'll keep shtum.

I would just love to be able to buy an FPGA/Replay2/Minimig type o thing in laptop form.

Surely with all the crazy gear that comes of China there would be a company that could make this happen?

I guess it would be down to how much demand there would be for such a product...

Here's an idea: probably the least sane I've had in a while but if you were dedicated to doing this, why not?

Get a portable DVD player.  Track down the specs on the screen's input.  Gut said player.  Put your Replay2 inside, wire up the screen...you'll still need an external mouse and keyboard but outside of that - you're golden!

It's happening at a time I can't afford it.

Dammit.

Put a PCI bus on this bad boy and a couple of slots attached and you've got the Natami beat by a stretch!
