More memory? #17

First, this project is amazing! You guys are so cool for making this 😎

My only concern is memory. I run a lot of new software compiled to 68k, and my devtools alone needs 64mb alone. Is there any way to get 128mb or 64mb on these devices?

Other than that -- you guys rock 🤘🙏❤️

These tiny and cheap FPGA boards come with 8 megabytes of memory. Expanding them is probably not worth it.

The Nanomig is not meant to be a high end Amiga. The fx68k CPU currently being implemented can even only address 16 megabytes of address space.

It's sure possible to update it for faster speeds and more ram. But there are already platforms like mister targeting this use case.

This project aims to be as compatible to the original machines while being as cheap as possible.

But of course it's all open source and whoever thinks that the NanoMig should become a high end machine is invited to implement just that.
