Seems like yesterday we first heard about the Minimig Amiga clone in FPGAA package made by a single individual (!). But that was actually in 2005 and the project which is open source marches a head. Hopefully one day we will all be sitting with our 17×17 cm Mini-ITX format Minimig monsters running softcore AAA + Voodoo 2 chipsets and softcore 060 clocked at 500 MHz, untill that day, you will need to be excitied with the little steps, which is not so little after all.
Check this out:
- a lot of changes to improve compatibility (included text file contains more detailed description)
- support for 4 (with ARM mini-board) or 2 floppy drives
- selectable floppy drive speed (double or normal)
- support for hard disk emulation (hardfile support) with soon to be released ARM mini-board
- 28 MHz CPU turbo mode (works also with 16 MHz 68SEC000 parts)
- fast blitter mode
- selectable PAL and NTSC mode from the OSD menu
- OSD menu control with Enter, Esc and arrow keys
- ADF files are not alphabetically sorted but can be selected by pressing a key with the first letter of their name
- support for 2 MB of Chip and 1.5 MB of Slow RAM (hardware modification required)
- scan-line emulation effect
Impressive eh?
