Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was my

Al, that is correct. You can read the source files to see basically
what isn't done.
When last I checked the website, which is now down...
I've mirrored the old site, and provided links to new site
http://www.techtravels.org/amiga/minimig/minimig.html
much work was left to be done to fully implement all the video modes,
sprites, collision detection and other parts of the custom chip
functionality.
I honestly have played with it too much, but a lot of games, etc run
fine on it. I would think that a large portion of what you mention is
sufficiently completed for that to be true.
I think that floppy support had yet to be implemented,
so one had to make images on a real Amiga and transfer them via SDCard to the Minimig.
There is no interface for a floppy drive on the minimig. Most software
is available in .ADFs --- or you have to make them yourself.
I really miss those days. Micros were a lot more fun
in the early 80's than they are today.
No doubt. I had a CoCo II where I learned a fair bit about computers.
