Revision as of 05:56, 27 August 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 Resistor D/A issues etc..
Breakout connectors instead of pcb mounted
Wire the unused MCU (pic18xxxx) ports to a user I/O pin header
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, Macintosh-m68k etc..
Realtime clock
Parallel port

CPU improvements:

Faster CPU (68020? -> can run netbsd)
CPU in verilog/vhdl (single-chip FPGA + CPU)
Wikipedia:FPGA mentions a few such "FPGA + CPU chip" devices.
Minimig 68K CPU BERR* Support (For 68K BERR* Vector when non-existant memory accessed)
