Is it possible to use a harddrive image with kickstart/Workbench 1.3 on an FPGAArcade/minimig?

One of the systems I'm hoping to replace is an A500 with an A590.

Thanks.


I think you need to use romsplit to split apart both the A500 1.3 rom and the A600 (2 or 3.x) ROM and use remus to make a 1.3 rom with with the newer ROMs scsi.device.

I have never tried this.

How does one split the ROM?, or rather extract and insert object (driver) files from the binary ROM blob?

I too want the new Minimig. I currently have the soon to be obsolete Minimig 1.1 (with all the options) and its an amazing little machine with a 68000 that runs like an 030 :)

Anyway, the device you linked too looks a lot like this device I purchased to put my Minimig on my 4-port KVM which is USB only. I'm coding an application where I need to switch between my PC and Minimig frequently to test.

Anyway, I got this product that looks a lot like  the one in your link:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200976&Tpk=ps22usb

It does work with the keyboard, however the mouse only seems to move up and to the right while randomly pressing the right mouse button. The converter is a partial success because two mice is way better than two keyboards and it does cause my KVM to see a computer on that port. Otherwise the KVM would just bypass that port.

The converter works (with the mouse) on my Amiga 1200 with the COCOLINO PS2 mouse adapter.

Oh, also, I originally intended the converter to let me use the more modern 2.4 GHZ wireless mice with my 1200. It does not seem to work with any wireless USB mice. I ended up tracking down a NOS Logitech 2.4 GHZ mouse with backwards compatibility with PS2.

good luck :)

Yes, it looks like the same sort of device. A better price though, although I'm tempted to see how cheap I can build one, just for something to do. If I come up with something super cheap, I'll report it back to the forum with schematics, code etc.

Cheers for the info.  As you say, in practical use it doesn't seem to be affected.  At least not with the software I've used so far.  :)


I found a couple of Whdload games that work on the same configuration on UAE and are supposed to be working in a plain 68000 (meeting the small memory reqs, etc) but don't work on the original Minimig 1.1 board. Rainbow Islands is one of them, I don't remember the other. Maybe those small differences in the 68EC000 are the cause...

Hi,
A brief update. I've received a lot of PMs and emails asking for status, and I haven't got around to answering them all yet. I am working through my list sending out first a quote and then payment details just before the board ships. I have shipped another 5 today.

Everybody who emails me is in the offer queue. It's taking longer than I hoped as I have some bad regulator ICs which need to be replaced, and this takes some time per board.

Things will get faster shortly when I start to receive fully assembled boards directly from the factory, the hand finishing and testing takes forever.

Best,
MikeJ

Oh, side question, can I fit the Arcade FPGA inside a Mini ITX without any hacks/etc including PSU? Was thinking of buying one for when I get this baby :)

Hey Mike,

If there is room to do so, can I get you to sign my board? :)

Yes, it fits just fine in a mini-itx case.
You will need the atx psu controller board as well if you wish to turn on/off the internal supply.

All the first batch have a hand written serial number :

will that do :)

How much is the controller board for that? Cheers!

I assume that without controller board it won't be possible to switch off the system from the front of the case, only by switching off at the wall socket?
