Some ideas for Minimig improvements:
Project name | Basic | Comment |
---|---|---|
Minimig Selftest | Y | |
Graphics | N | More games possible to run |
Harddisc | Y | Larger software installations possible. |
Ethernet | ? | Rid of the need for flashmemories? & Network boot. |
Use DRAM | Y | Memory hungry software becomes possible. And developer board have dram builtin. |
Shared MCU/FPGA RS232 | Y | One less jumper.. |
NTSC | Y | NTSC monitors can be used. |
S-Video Resistor D/A issues etc.. | Y | |
Breakout pinheaders | Y | More installation flexibility |
MCU user I/O | Y | Wire the unused MCU (pic18xxxx) ports to a user I/O pin header |
Kickstart replacement | N | Rid of Amiga Inc dependency. |
Discimage support .ADF .DMS .FDI .ADZ | N | ADF is not sufficient for some copyprotected discs |
Expansion via Zorro ISA PCI PCI-Express | N | Make use of old hardware |
Upgrade the FPGA | Y | More logic & I/O pins |
HDL devices | N | Devices in HDL languages - needs no hardware |
Real floppy controller | N | Make disc images for Minimig (see Amiga floppy project) |
Simulate Atari ST, Mac-68k etc.. | N | |
Realtime clock | N | Correct timestamp on disc files |
Parallel port | N | Multiplayer, Printer, ParNet etc.. |
USB | N | |
Faster CPU | N | mc68020+ makes it possible to run NetBSD (unix) |
CPU in verilog/vhdl | N | Makes Minimig on a stock FPGA developer board possible |
Wikipedia: FPGA+CPU | N | FPGAs with CPU onchip |
/BERR Support | Y | For 68K /BERR Vector when non-existant memory accessed |
