..or maybe someone rather like a rare MiniMig -- the special and very rare ITX V2 version which has svideo/composite tv-out plus remade power regulator and faster memory. Everything in a sexy little white Amiga colored 17x17 cabinet with all ports available from the back.

what price you want for minimig itx?

Who on Earth would want more than 640KB?

I think 128MB is fine for now until we actually see some applications being produced that require more, or at least slots that can be added to later.

wow you must be bill gates, well why not use your funds and port amiga os to x86

cant people use virtual ram which would load from either sd card slot or micro sd slot on daughter board?

or would sd be too slow ie is class 10 too slow?

ie http://aminet.net/search?query=virtual+memory

Re: FPGA Replay Board

There is no chance to have them available at the same time. Maybe they will be ready for purchase by the end of the year."

just looked at Mike J's new pics on his fpga arcade website. The pcbs looking good.

digiflip · « **Reply #38 on:** June 17, 2011, 10:53:14 PM »

does anyone know if fpga arcade could fit in a pico itx case?

well found travla TE-D288 case dimensions 178 mm x 55.2 mm x 162.5 mm, 7" x 2.1" x 6.4" hope it fits in I might have to move the power supply (ie reposition) for it to fit in.

fpga arcade is i think by what can see on pdf 17cm by 8 cm in inches is 6.69 inches by 3.149 inches.

how deep is fpga arcade with daughter board?

Hi Mikej,

Any news on when you might be putting these into production?
Or a rough guess when we can order one of the final-but-pre-production boards?

I know it can be hard to judge these things but I'm also ever optimistic

@ AJCopland

same to you for the natami mx boards consumer version (edit found my answer whilst browsing vesalia september 2011 is the tentative date). Im getting my fpga arcade board hopefully in next few weeks when mikej builds next batch.

got nice clear case, 68060 for it and pico psu 80 watts hopefully powerfully enough to run daughterboard too when thats released.

@Digiflip,
I'm having trouble accessing the rest of the site but I think you've already had your answer answered in the other thread. I don't personally know why Vesalia thinks Sept 2011 but I'd guess that they've just put the figure there as a guess.

well at least they are not taking peoples money for it yet

They're configured for WinUAE and if you try and do a straight copy off the AmigaForever disks to a real Amiga or a Minimig then it won't work.

That said, I used WinUAE to set up Bloodwych ClassicWB hard files and then copied that to my Minimig v1.1 (ClassicWB 68000) and also to my A4000 hard drive (ClassicWB 3.x) and they work fine.

well i copied all workbench folder in hidden folders to a working compactflash drive within winuae to use on a real amiga and booted to amiga forevers workbench 3.x without problem ps i found this smaller than a normal os 3.9 installation too.

The FPGA Arcade allows you to connect 5v power in 3 ways:

1. 2 pin adapter in the bottom corner next to the power switch.
2. Round 5v DC adapter as used on the Minimig v1.1 on the right side of the power switch.
3. Standard "PC" hard drive/CD ROM drive 5v adapter on the right of "2" (I use this with a cheap power supply from one of those USB-SATA/IDE cable kits, but you could easily use a PC power supply assuming it will stay "on" without being connected to a PC on/off switch).

you forgot the 4th way mikej's atx pcb adapter
