Put an Amiga on a CD…

No, I’m not talking about a software emulator like WinUAE or Cloanto’s AmigaForever…
At the beginning of February ACube Systems released the MiniMig, a small (12×12 cm) board that try to reproduce the mighty Amiga500. This is achieved thanks to the use of a Spartan FPGA and an onboard 68000 processor from Freescale.
The original idea and project came from Dennis van Weeren who kindly put his work under an opensource (openhardware?) licence.
ACube Systems then assembled all the pieces together, packaged them in a nice box with a brief user guide and started distributing the board.
You can see a review of the Minimig here.
There is also a page on Wikipedia about the Minimig.
(BTW, 12×12 cm is approx. the size of a CD-ROM, hence the title of this topic)
