| Looking very nice. Good to see this project in a form factor that is so much easier to find a decent case for rather than having to brew your own.
A few nice extra features added to the board as well. Dennis started a wonderful thing when he created the MiniMig and then released his work for the public to enhance. For those wanting a classic Amiga without the need to the old classic expansions, you can't go far wrong with a minimig at the moment in one of its various incarnations.

| Impressive. I'd buy it for a buck, so to speak. However, I'd like to see onboard Ethernet and an HDMI-port before ordering a board myself.

| HDMI-port on a reimplementation of a device designed in 1987?

O.K. Take your A500 out of the cupboard (although I doubt you have one) - and boot it.
Now, guess whether HDMI or ethernet are either plausible on this platform.  |

| You just have to think outside the box, who would imagine that it would be possible to play Sensible Soccer across the net, and I mean the Amiga version. It has to be trough WinUAE Kaillera but despite that, for the game it doesn't matter... Here we aren't tied to a specific hardware and its limitations, it could eventually be expanded and all be handled transparently by the hardware.

A 31KHz VGA output would suffice IMO. External converters or adapters could then be
used. Like a VGA to DVI or a VGA to HDMI. Simply choose the cheapest way IMO.
Most HD-ready TV's have either a VGA or DVI (few) connector. Many don't even support
computers to connect to their HDMI ports. Although I'll admit the numbers are rising.

Think big!
A ethernet port would make it possible to do what MicroSoft and Sony are doing.
Add a program in the Minimig, cooporate with Amiga and start a download service
where users could pay for games or other things

Yes, VGA with configurable 15/31KHz output, composite and S-video would be
perfect. 
Composite & S-video have been standard on most TV's for the last decade.
Also 15Khz VGA output could be made into a scart output with a adapter.
The VGA makes it alot easier if one would want to connect the Minimig to a
computer monitor aswell.

| @samwel the creator of this minimig-version seems to think vga is superfluous and will remove it in favor of s-video or composite. just search for my quoted text as well as read the paragraph starting with
Quote:
this thing had better be available in a not so distant future.
I wanna be able to pay someone to gimme a minimig of whatever version delivered in a box with powersupply, whit everthing needed from me is to fetch a rom and load it with my adfs.Last edited by Insanity on 18-Oct-2007 at 09:48 AM.

| It would be nice for the minimig to be picked up and sold as a complete unit
ready to go... I totally agree.. With all the cool new features that would sell us all on it..
SVIDEO /SVGAVGA
ethernet connection
memory cards
hardrive
etc..
Hoo Humm...
Seems like I have been in a waiting line that just gets longer and longer and longer..

| I for one will be happy without ethernet, hd and all of those nice things I have on my normal rig. The first reason is that I will most likely only use it for gaming. the second reason is that this is done in people's spare time meaning anything fancy will take a ####load of time to implement. So remember that each fancy thing you request is another couple of months (maybe even 2 weeks ) added to the devtime.
