That's odd. All I did was downloaded the V1.3 source code, opened the
"minimig_DE1" project with Quartus 8.1 Web Edition, then double-clicked
Compile Design. It does take a long while to compile though...

I've put the POF and SOF files I used in the Filebase on the group's homepage.

Remember: All switches OFF except 9, 3, 2, 1, 0 (which should be ON). Toggle
SW0 to reset Minimig. You need an SD card or Multimedia Card with KICK.ROM,
SPIHOST.ROM and a Workbench disk (ADF file) in the SD card slot. FAT16 format,
folks.

The DE1's mode switch should be set to "RUN", *not* "PROG". Let it run the
Demo code, then reload the FPGA using the Quartus programmer app. It'll start
booting Minimig (you'll see the hex displays change into a track/head counter).

I suspect Minimig/tg68 is sending something to the serial port as well,
because I saw the TXD LED light. No idea what it's sending though, debug info
perhaps?
