So we all know what the minimig is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimig

The only problem with it is the layout of the ports, they are not so friendly when it comes to mounting in a normal PC ITX Case.

The board was rebuilt (http://www.illuwatar.se/project_pages/minimig2/minimig.htm) in an ITX form factor.

I have had a few boards built (i had to order minimum of 10)

So i am selling the remaining 8 boards here, these are blank boards so they require you to build and populate them yourself

PRICE IS £25 SHIPPED WORLDWIDE



Payment Received from:
SUNOS4
EXTREMEWAYS
CRAZYBOB
HESE
CHRISUNIONNJ


WHAT WILL YOU RECEIVE:

  • 1X PCB
  • 1X PARTS LIST
  • 1X ZIP FILE WITH ALL NECESSARY FILES TO COMPLETE BOARD
  • A COPY OF THE GPL LICENCE

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS:
  • IF YOU'VE NEVER SOLDERED BEFORE, NO, GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT. A £10 SOLDERING IROM FROM MAPLINS IS THE WRONG TOOL FOR THE JOB!

IS THIS A STRAIGHT BUILD OF THE FILES AVAILABLE ON THE MINI-ITX SITE:
  • NO, I HAVE MODIFIED A FEW THINGS, I HAVE LEFT HIS ORIGINAL DETAILS ON THE SILK SCREEN AS 99.9999% OF THE DESIGN WAS DONE BY HIM, I MERELY CHANGED A COUPLE OF THINGS.

DOES THIS INCLUDE THE PARTS/COMPONENTS TO BUILD THIS?
  • NOPE, JUST THE PCB, A PARTS LIST WILL BE SUPPLIED.

I NEED HELP BUILDING THIS?
  • ILL ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PM'S BUT THIS ISNT FOR BEGINNERS. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS

WILL I ORDER MORE BOARDS AFTER THIS?
  • NOPE, AM NOT DOING THIS AS A SIDE BUSINESS, I WANTED TO BULD A COUPLE OF BOARDS SO THESE ARE THE "EXCESS"

PRICE
  • I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE MAY JUMP ON THIS AND SAY IT DOESNT COST £25 TO BUILD THESE PCB'S, NO IT DOESNT, BUT ONCE YOU'VE TAKEN OUT THE SHIPPING, PACKAGING, ACTUAL COST OF THE BAORD AND ANY TIME I SPENT DOING THIS, AM NOT GOING TO RETIRE ON THE EXTRA :-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE MINIMIG WAS RELEASED UNDER THE GPL LICENCE, AS WAS THIS BOARD. WHICH MEANS ITS LEGAL TO BUILD SELL MODIFY AS NEEDED AS LONG AS THE END USER RECEIVES A COPY OF THE FILES AND GPL LICENCE. I HAVE DONE ALL THIS. I ONLY PUT THIS PART AS THERE HAS BEEN A FEW DISCUSSIONS ON A COUPLE OF OTHER THREADS ABOUT PCB'S AND THEIR OWNERSHIP/LICENCES!!!

This is certainly a project we can consider as mature. Is there finally AGA support for this somewhere?
 
Great initiative, Illuwatar's design contains certain fixes compared to the original Minimig, i.e. ESD protection on pins.
Also nice to know is this design 100% compatible with the Minimig code.

Maybe a nice addition would be the Minimig ARM controller board?
Did you manage to already build one of these boards from this batch?

I really like the Minimig, it's a really nice and stable A500/A600 platform.

@eslapion, I believe the FPGA is almost at it's max, the AGA implementation wouldn't fit anymore

Actually, I'm with you! I used to be able to solder quite nicely. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll and the glasses are too thick and the hands unsteady for fine work. I can still solder bigger stuff, but I can see this would be WAY beyond my abilities anymore.

Ya know, it REALLY sucks getting old...
 
Last one sold, please mark thread as sold. Thanks
