Because I've been told a package has arrived at home & I'm sure it is the Minimig I ordered.

After work (in 20 minutes :-o ) I plan to buy a power supply on the way home so I can have fun with my new toy :-D

Yes, because I live in Australia & I'd rather use one designed for here than use an adaptor for a UK or European one.

Now, please tell me your specs before I leave work, please? :-)

You do realize that we use the same power voltage and frequency as the UK ? 220v 60hz.

The only difference is the pins on the plug.

It's 50Hz, and if the plug is different then, well, he will need an adaptor, won't he?

Yeah 50hz, i always get them confused.

If he is unable to cut off the plug and wire up an Australian plug, then yes an Adapter will be needed.

Well, I found something suitable (5v 450mA), BUT...

The {bleep}ing Minimig won't work!

My monitor is getting no signal & the "drive" LED keeps flashing six times, pauses, then flashes six times again & so on.

WTF?!?!

From the error flash documentation:

"6: MMC or SD flash card not found/recognized"

Do I need to format the SD card a different way? :getmad:

I use a NEXXTECH universal AC/DC adapter (set for 4.5v DC - it can output between 3v & 12v and allows the polarity of the pin to be changed). It's a 110v model only, but check locally as they make make a 220-240v version.

On the SD card, you must know someone with a PC - hopefully.

On the monitor, perhaps the monitor can't scan down low enough to deisplay the signal. I use an LCD monitor with this problem and I have to use THIS core instead:

Remember to check the jpeg with the docs to configure the jumpers on the Minimig.

Absolutely. 'diskutil' to the rescue.

See this page, it gives a very good example on how.

It has to have a regulated PSU or risk killing your minimig
