tjb Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Anybody ever heard of or had any experience with this? I saw this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/MiniMig-FPGA-Motherboa...%3A1%7C294%3A30 Is it legit? I'm a little leary of people with only 20 feeback entries not to mention only 2 were as a seller. There's a link to an "advertisement" for the product included with the listing at the following URL: http://amiga.easypocketmoney.com/minimig/minimig_advert.jpg The whole "amiga.easypocketmoney.com" URL doesn't do much to instill confidence either. tjb Edited May 16, 2009 by tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorisabouttodie Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 only supports OCS...not ECS Pardon my ignorance, but what is OCS and ECS? tjb OCS, ECS, and AGA are the different graphics chip sets of the Amiga. The few modes that ECS supports that OCS doesn't are negligible and wouldn't effect any game, but AGA was like a step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) OCS was for O/S's les then 2.0 ECS was for O/S's 2.0 and higher AGA was for O/S's 3.1 and higher not sure if 2.0 had support for AGA (or any o/s less then 3.1) I didn't even know there was a non AGA version of Kick 3.1 untill i got into amiga emulation Edited May 19, 2009 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland p Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 OCS was for O/S's les then 2.0 ECS was for O/S's 2.0 and higher AGA was for O/S's 3.1 and higher not sure if 2.0 had support for AGA (or any o/s less then 3.1) I didn't even know there was a non AGA version of Kick 3.1 untill i got into amiga emulation I would be suprised if an OS is so tightly coupled to a graphics chipset. This document says you can use the higher OS's on a plain OCS A500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 You can buy a minimig motherboard in the UK from http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalo...products_id=777 They ship worldwide, are legit and I can Highly recommend the seller, although I have no experience of the minimig. Surely cheaper to buy a real Amiga or just use emulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This document says you can use the higher OS's on a plain OCS A500. I was thinking the other way around i.e the higher end chipsets (ecs and aga) on a lower/older o.s (i.e there might not be the o/s or system support for any additional features of that chipset or because of the mem. requirements for a given chipset, it supply just won't work) Edited May 19, 2009 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
