Wow your minimig runs all A500 software perfectly, and it can save too?

I'm impressed!

 :roll:

Yes it can. OCS and ECS and configure the RAM to 512/0, 512/512 and 512/1024... oh and I can select between a PAL and NTSC machine too.

One question - I have a 15" LCD monitor (1024 x 768 native resolution). What resolution will the minimig output at? I am asing this, because usually, if its not displaying a native res., it will look a bit blurry.

The Minimig will output at native resolutions, but the monitor should be able to scale them to fit the screen.  I actually use a widescreen LCD display (see pic) and love it.

I'll also be supporting the Clone-A when it is released.

I do hope they will support USB for keyboards and mice

In USB mode? WTF for? Most USB keyboards and mice have PS/2 legacy mode built in so they can be used with MiniMig or possibly Clone-A with just a cheap passive adapter.

Why is that you ask, well because Jens has now finished the IndivisionAGA which must have been absorbing at lot of his time.  Hopefully now he'll be able to focus on Clone-A instead  :-D

Indivision AGA 1200 was a much easier project to do than Clone-A. The specifications for video are well known, it was a relatively simple task with a start and an end. Whereas Clone-A is all about reverse engineering the undocumented Amiga features. It could be a never ending task and balloon into years of work!

I also suspect that Jen's saw the prices of 2nd hand scandoublers, he also saw that there was a hole in the market. But I believe he also saw that if released Clone-A might accidentally fill that market? Why sell one product when you can sell two? ;-)

I do not believe that Indivision AGA 1200 really ate into Clone-A time :-)

I would like a new A600 accelerator.

I am waiting for Clone-A as well... i hope we get an in-depth status report soon, Jens?
