Revision as of 21:28, 28 July 2007

Some ideas for improving Minimig:

Improvements:

 Minimig Selftest
 ECS graphics - First to do?, after all more software can use ECS than AGA
 AGA graphics
 Harddisc
 Ethernet Rid of the need for flashmemories? (network boot)
 Use SDram
 MCU rs232tx -or- FPGA rs232tx
 50/60Hz (pal/ntsc)
 S-Video
 Breakout connectors instead of pcb mounted
 Kickstart replacement
 Discimage support .ADF .DMS .FDI .ADZ
 Expansion via Zorro ISA PCI PCI-Express
 Upgrade the FPGA
 RTL devices
 Create a real floppy controller (see Amiga floppy project)
 Simulate Atari ST ability

CPU improvements:

 Faster CPU
   68020? -> can run netbsd.
 CPU in verilog/vhdl
 single-chip FPGA + CPU:
