The Minimig has an onboard Flicker Fixer / Scandoubler

There's no IDE port yet so no, you can't hookup a harddrive.


awesome!!
So the flicker will still be there then?

oh well....


Actually, no flicker since Minimig has an Amber implementation.

Really?

sounds impressive, I wasn't aware that could be done and still maintain 100% compatibility.

Hmmmmmmm

That's the beauty of FPGA, you can add certain features without breaking compatibility.

btw: Minimig is NOT 100% compatible. Yet. There are a few things broken, however most things work.

Okay, I'm confused again. I now that Dennis did the MiniMig all on his own an it's all GPLed or something. What happened to the hardware that AI announced not too long ago that some non-Dennis was working on that AI was promoting as official or something? Not the AmigaOne. Wasn't there something else? Where did all that go?

@cv643d

Six MM's will take up less space in your closet.

So will six M&M's, for that matter. Both, incidentally, don't melt in your hand.

I think you are referring to the Vixxen, by ACK. Nothing has been shown, so it's now presumed to have failed or just been vapourware.

AI = Amiga Inc?, in that case it's not even worth the brain neurons it might occupy ;-)

Amiga Inc is actually KMOS, a company that started up about 1999 or so (the real date is purposely obscured to hide from creditors).  They took over the contract with Acer that give exclusive rights to the Amiga name and IP.  They have nothing to do with CBM or the original Amiga Inc.  They have *never* produced anything "Amiga compatible."  In fact their main product appears to be press releases.  Pay not attention to them, you'll be happier that way.

@persia:

Well said! I especially liked the part "In fact their main product appears to be press releases"

That's great news but what kind of box will this fit in?
I want to give one of these to my 8 year old kid brother so that he has something friendly to play games on and learn programming with but without a proper chassi that's like begging him to get electrocuted.

You could give your brother 6-8 A500's for the price of one boxed minimig.

Agreed, i could give him one of the A500s i have up in the attic but that would propel him instantly into floppy failure hell, just like it did for me, all those years ago. :D

According to that wikipedia article, the minimig is "nano-itx size". However, it seems that via's nano-itx only has ports at one end of the board. Because of that it looks like you wouldn't easily be able to fit the minimig board in any of the existing nano-itx cases on the market.

Any ideas?

It's not an nano-ITX compatible form factor.

Just live with the persepex cover :)
