Revision 1.5 changes:
- PCB redesigned (4 layers) and SDRAM signal routing reworked
- USB ports moved to right hand side; joystick ports moved to back
- 64MB 6ns of ISSI SDRAM
- power supply circuit reworked - dual power supply (micro USB 5V or any power supply providing 7-12V DC/AC)
- FPGA 1.2 VCCPL additional circuit
- Detachable (8-pin header) MIDI adapter allowing easy access to FPGA TX/RX lines and 3v3 power supply - pinout description is present at PCB
MIST is now supporting many machines:
- Atari ST/STE (also on SCART 15KHz)
- Amiga 500/600/1200 (AGA core beta)
- C64 (partially - still under development)
- Atari 8bit (96%)
- Collecovision
- Sinclair ZX81
- Atari 2600
- ZX Spectrum with AY, also with DIVMMC and ESXDOS
- SEGA GENESIS
- Apple
- MSX
- AMSTRAD CPC (beta)
- many more,..
Requirements: (For potential compatibility issues see the peripherals wiki page)
- USB keyboard
- micro USB phone charger for power supply
- SD card (1GB recommended)
- VGA display
- USB mouse
- set of PC speakers
Important Notes:
Device was tested with a lot of different models of SD cards and should work properly with all of them. Unfortunately, there is a lot of fake/bad flash media (SD cards/CF cards/USB keys...) on the market. We strongly recommend you to take care when selecting the SD card and also choose a good manufacturer.
