There is a guy taking the source and working on something called MIGSTORM ITX, a lower cost version of the Minimig ITX spec. It is in testing now but for folks that complain about the price you could wait until someone makes a cheaper version. But thanks to these guys for making it happen in the first place.

I`ve done some clumsy emulation of beloved amigas to replicate / relive a few quick amiga experiences that I fondly remember.. and I`ve dreamed of having a set up like my old a1200 (and never got to use a4000 that i never actually got to use before having to sell).. this kit you`ve shown here Chris is absolutely beautiful, thanks .. I so want what you`ve shown.. I would definitely get back into serious amiga use with the kind of performance you`re doing here.. thanks, great vid, great kit.

I believe you meant an SD card - compact flash doesn't come in a micro format. Compact Flash is still used in some cameras and older devices like early millennium handhelds/laptops/netbooks & late, late 20th century computers with card readers for them. This new board sounds awesome and I sure do miss my 1990s Amiga 500 and use to salivate over ads for 2000, 3000 and 4000 Amigas. Alas I was overcome by the build your own PC bug in the mid 90s and have rarely looked back till now! Thanks, this so cool!

I actually do intend to put one of these into a Checkmate case. Truth be told, I am a Amiga n00b. Never had the chance to use one back in the day, though I did lust after them when I learned about them back in the 90s. Maybe I will add an original Amiga to my collection some day, but for the most part, I do want a modern version of one so I don’t have to worry about the pitfalls of running aging hardware. This seems like one of the better choices out there. I would actually prefer something like the EVO64 approach so that I could use original peripherals like disk drives, but I can live with this approach. I think this should give me an excellent “Amiga experience.” That being said, I still need to learn a lot about using Workbench, setting up RTG, and all that stuff.

with a pistorm yes it can do RTG but again, you would need modepro or a second display to see both sides, even though it does 31 lhz, pistorm rtg is still out the hdmi of that pi.

My Amiga mouse wont move the cursor and I only have a USB mouse and keyboard to use through PS2 to USB adapters, but these don't work at all. So I have a display that I can't interact with. There is not much out there on setting up the Minimig. I would appreciate any help I can get. :)

I have a 1 month update on my minimig purchase too: its an expensive, pretty, piece of junk. Yes it has modern parts - but there's no easy way to get the SD card or CF card of a TF board out of any case (sd cable extenders don't work, timing issue). There's no easy way then to get .adf's or hardfiles onto SD once you put it in case. There's no networking/wifi. so- all the modern amenities of a pistorm aren't found in this thing, which doesn't even seem to run "snappily" the same way using the TF card, compared to my A500! Would *not* recommend this. And there's no manual to be found (easily at least) anywhere on the site. Trying to figure out mobo headers with Dr Chris was the highlight of buying this...sheesh!

Simple fact is amiga ocs/ecs is 7mhz and 3mhz rough to ram and chip set etc. The 68ec00 only runs at 60 when off the bus ! So its not runing at 60mhz all.the time, and its very overclockable chip easily x2 original speed with no effort, and with a very stable power rails it also makes overclocking the chip possible. Minimig question ? Does it support 1084 monitor ? It say 15khz, but are voltages correct ? Also.be good to see back of board ports please

Kind of strange that you only get just below 600 kilobyte/s in transfer rate. I have this RocHard RH800C sidecar Ram/HDD expansion, and on an otherwise stock 500 I get between 8,4 megabyte/s and 9,0 megabyte/s. Like what gives? Anyway.... I use a Dell 2410-something-something monitor as well, and mine can also take 15khz. And yes, they are totally awesomme monitors, as they have DVI and Display port as well. I use it on my daily drivers with Linux as well.

Yeah, I never understood the infatuation with expensive hardware recreations of classic Amigas that still perform like it's 1992. Emulation on modern hardware is the way to go. Last time I checked, WinUAE is free software. The guy in this video says this new board can outperform an A3000. So can my modern smart watch, but I'm not gonna make videos bragging about it.

For the gaming, low latency is more important than what speed you can get the 68k series up to, which something like the added pistorm mode on this setup could give you. well unless you trying to do something like FPS post 1994.

Why would anyone keep old cars alive? Or buy antique furniture? When it comes to making new Amiga hardware, it’s partly because it’s actually possible without breaking the bank, and you are not sued by mega corps. If you were to build an ARM processor, you would need an expensive license. Another part is nostalgia.

Hey Chris, what is your feeling about these devices? To me this is not an Amiga. If you teleported back 35 years with this device in hand and showed it to any Amiga user I bet not a single person would know what it is. May as well just run an emulator on a Raspberry Pi to achieve similar results. My definition of an Amiga ends with a 68060 card in a real Amiga motherboard. Bit of a purist I guess.

Did you know 68060 translates CISC 68K instructions into RISC-like instructions like on Intel Pentium Pro or AMD K5 / K6 (RISC86) for X86? No modern CISC CPU implements CISC CPU microarchitecture design i.e. classic Pentium was the last CISC design CPU. RISC won the CPU design wars and the X86 world has adapted RISC for its own needs. FPGA Amiga ECS recreations are like clones of VGA for the original IBM VGA. Motorola has licensed 68K designs to other 3rd parties, but none of the 68k cloners (e.g. Hitachi, Rockwell, Signetics, Thomson/SGS-Thomson, Toshiba) has design teams like AMD (NextGen), VIA (Cyrix, Centaur)/ Zhaoxin and DM&P Electronic (Rise Technology's Vortex86). PS; Vortex86DX3 reached 1 Ghz dual core i686-compatible CPU configuration.
