I am excited to provide you with a centralized hub where you can access and download the source code and fabrication files for Minimig. Whether you’re a developer, a hardware enthusiast, or simply curious about the inner workings of this iconic retro computer, this page is your go-to resource.

On this page, you’ll find a comprehensive collection of resources related to Minimig, allowing you to dive deep into its technical details and even customize and enhance its functionality. We believe in the power of open-source collaboration, and our mission is to foster an environment where enthusiasts can freely explore, contribute, and build upon the Minimig project.

In addition to the source code, we are also offering fabrication files for Minimig, which include the necessary schematics, PCB layouts, and other resources needed to build your own Minimig board. With these files, you can embark on an exciting journey of creating your very own Amiga replica, or perhaps even experiment with modifications and enhancements to push the boundaries of this retro marvel.

Few words about the contributors.

First and foremost, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Renee Cousins (https://www.buffee.ca/about/) for her invaluable ideas and support. Renee played a pivotal role in the development of the DIP64 variant of Minimig, which has expanded the possibilities and versatility of this remarkable retro computing platform. Her innovative thinking and expertise have shaped the project in profound ways. Moreover, her crucial support during the early stages of the project provided the foundation upon which I could embark on this exciting journey. Without Renee, the Minimig project would not be what it is today.

I also extend my utmost appreciation to Dennis van Weeren (https://www.techtravels.org), the genius behind the Minimig project. Dennis’s incredible dedication and technical prowess have allowed us to relive the magic of the Amiga platform through Minimig. His ability to reverse engineer the Amiga chipset and create the now-famous Minimig core is nothing short of remarkable. Dennis’s work has become an integral part of countless Amiga projects and has rekindled a sense of nostalgia for enthusiasts worldwide.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Till Harbaum for his exceptional MiST design, a profoundly important platform in the history of hardware preservation. Alongside Dennis van Weeren’s pioneering work on the original Minimig, Till is a pivotal figure who truly kickstarted the modern FPGA retro gaming and computing scene, proving the viability of open-hardware ecosystems. Till’s decision to release his Gerbers and schematics was a major milestone for me as a hardware designer, even though my own MiST ITX variant is now outdated. My ITX version specifically aims to follow the same physical layout as the Minimig ITX board, so studying Till’s design and seeing its striking PCB similarities to the original Minimig brings me a lot of happiness and inspiration.

Finally, I would like to extend a special thanks to Chris Edwards, whose support and promotion have been instrumental in the development of this project. As a customer and true Amiga hardware and software expert, Chris has played a significant role in shaping the direction of our work. We encourage you to check out Chris Edwards’ YouTube channel, where he shares his passion for Amiga restoration and showcases the rich history of this iconic platform. You can find his channel at Chris Edwards’ YouTube Channel.

Live long and prosper!
