Well, I just stumbled over a thread at amiga.org.
It seems as if someone has finally taken the challenge to reimplement an OCS Amiga in FPGA.

I am not qualified to argue whether it`s a hoax or not, as some people asume, so take it with a portion of scepticism. However, this guy also posted some photos so at least there might be a chance that he try it for real.
*If* it`s real I think that might become the coolest retro hardware since ages ;) Even better then the C64 in a Joystick :)

If it works it is absolutely cool.

Yeah, if the guy can pull the trick off, I guess there will be lots of people (me included) that would like to get their hands on the Minimig (especially if it evolves as a PCI card, and some MorphOS drivers are written).

However, I guess that the most appropiate word here is "caution"... Let's wait and see!

It would be WAY better if it is built as a finished pocket-size device with LCD and touchscreen. First true pocket Amiga! I would even consider buying it despite of OCS...

I think ocs is pretty good enough for starters, since most cool retro stuff run on ocs, and stuff you run on aga usually has ports for x86 or ppc.

btw, it's Minimig, not minimg
