#MiniMig
Now imaged, but alas my 31 year-old IBM drive has finally died. This was the first hard drive I owned, a year or so before I got my first PC. It was never going back in my A1200 anyway.

Since the .HDF file format is basically a raw dump, I can boot UAE or MiSTer FPGA/Minimig into my old desktop. 🥰

While experimenting with hard disk images, I have really come to appreciate how good Minimig is. It's like using a real Amiga.

It even supports 68030 I understand, but the version I have from the last update (26.09.07) doesn't seem to give us the option.

Got workbench 3x0 working on minimig. Next up: set up RTG or something to work with the minimig RTG card.

Minimig just got a serious upgrade. AmiCube v1.1 adds AGA, RTG, real floppy drive support and flexible 68K CPU options, pushing FPGA Amiga hardware much further. #Amiga #Minimig #FPGA
AmiCube v1.1 turns Minimig into a bigger, more capable Amiga compatible system
AmiCube v1.1 is shaping up as one of the more ambitious Minimig boards in development, pairing FPGA-based Amiga hardware with AGA graphics, Picasso96 RTG, r

trying ulx3s-minimig core (bitfiles from github) on my ulx3s, i get interesting glitchy video on hdmi. intuitively i'd say it's missing a rom, but not sure how to supply that. ideas?

omg the other bitfile shows something more serious, in the familiar topaz font!

ohh there is a minimig port for ulx3s by radiona (using ecp5 fpga) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0nysMydf4I

yesterday i realized that the Turbo Chameleon i already have in my cupboard is a full featured fpga c64 in itself, and there's also a minimig core with aga graphics for it :0 (and many other 8-bit and console cores). the whole setup with the dock is a bit awkward though, i wonder if anyone made […]

It served me well when I still had monitors that could talk to it.

Actually gave a presentation on FPGAs once, using Scala MM running live on the Minimig core.

PiStorm68K Offers Supercharged Retro Amiga Experience
[AmiCube] has announced their new PiStorm68K special edition MiniMig accelerator board. This board was developed to replace the 68000 CPU in a MiniMig — a recreation of the original Amiga chipset in an FPGA allowing a real genuine 68000 CPU to operate. The PiStorm68K itself can host a real genuine 68000 CPU but it can also host various Raspberry Pi models which can do emulation of a 68000. So if you combine a PiStorm68K with a MiniMig you can, at your option, boot into an emulated environment with massively increased performance, or you can boot into an original environment, with its reliable and charming sluggishness. In the introduction video below, [AmiCube] uses the SYSINFO utility software to compare the CPU speed when using emulation (1531 MIPS) versus the original (4.47 MIPS), where MIPS means Millions of Instructions Per Second. As you can see the 68000 emulated by the Raspberry Pi is _way_ faster than the original. The Raspberry Pi also emulates a floating-point unit (FPU) which the original doesn’t include and a memory management unit (MMU) which isn’t used.

Testing our MiSTer Floppy adaptor for #Multisystem2

Based on the great work of Rob Smith, this Floppy interface for the Amiga Minimig FPGA Core directly reads 3.5 inch floppy discs.

More updates soon.
