From the joysticks I've dismantled in my time autofire simply closed the joy button circuit... No special electronics at all.
Some auto-fires also had some sort of trigger circuit. (at least one joystick i had, had a trigger circuit..)

Sometimes I have an urge to gut a netbook and make a replacement mainboard with an FPGA :D

I wonder if its possible to identify a common (maybe older) laptop that would serve as a doner... Dell D600 or one of the other common Dell's maybe?

What hinders you from identifying a donor laptop?

I'm a programmer with over 15 years experience in many different languages... Unfortunately, I'm only a novice when it comes to playing around with the HW side of things.  Especially when it's something as complicated as this.

There's nothing that makes me love a Minimig more than playing with a real Amiga...

I've just spent my second day trying to get my towered A4000 with a Mediator4000, Deneb, PowerFlyer4000, CF Card Reader, 80GB hard drive, CD ROM, ZIP drive, Indivision, Virge Graphics card and Soundblaster all work in harmony with OS3.9 and all the little programs and drivers you have to install.  I've lost count of how many times I've wiped the hard drive and started the install from scratch again.

I've finally got the Virge card working with a widescreen LCD in 800x600 24 bit mode using P96.  ANything above that is "out of range".  The P96 preferences says it can't find a monitor driver so I can't edit any screen modes apart from what appears in the screen mode prefs...

How long before that Minimig AGA is ready?  :D

"How long before that Minimig AGA is ready?"

Xilinx have pushed out the Spartan3 delivery again, should arrive this week.
Production is scheduled for the week after, but as I haven't got the FPGAs yet they can't start kitting the job, so it may slip.
One problem in Sweden is everything shuts down for a month in the summer...

I have found a production partner in China now, so after the first 60 boards the components will be sourced and assembled in China, so costs will be lower and lead times will be shorter.

I wanted to get the first ones built locally so I can see if all the bits fit - it's much easier the handle production problems when you can see the board :)

Could you make a video where you solder those FPGA chips?

Chips so cool I got to wear shades .. ;)

Yay!!!  :)

Meanwhile, I've got my A4000 tower looking very nice using the "Classic Workbench" download package (after much mucking about on UAE - thank got for the Deneb card and the fact that I could copy my old OS3.9 to a 8GB memory stick, patch the Classic workbench on UAE, copy it back to the stick and then transfer it to my real Amiga).

Just need to install KG's WHDload games packages now...

Well, I can post a picture of the chip package :)

I certainly won't be soldering 60 of these, the machines will be doing that!

If I can, I'll film the production....

C'mon man! My A1200's are dying. Quirky keyboards, 030 cards, yellow cases, need a new A1200 class machine to compliment my MiniMIG.
