Welcome!

You must have ordered from a reseller, who will most probably ship
today. I shipped backorders yesterday ;-)

Floppy drives cannot be used with the C-One/Minimig yet (especially
not Amiga floppy drives). If you want to convert real disks into
ADFs, you may want to look at the Catweasel, or at ADF-reader tools
that involve a real Amiga. However, many Amiga programs are already
available on the net, so you may get away without your own recovery
method if you just want to use the popular games out there.

Size is not an issue - the pictures you're seeing there are fairly
old. Also, the harddrive you have won't make any problems, as it's
way below 4gig (the 32-bit addressing barrier that can only be
crossed by installing 64-bit addressing modes).

Does it support 50Hz screenmodes? Many cores on the C-One output a
screenmode that is very PAL-like, which is below VGA standards. Some
LCDs support this, others don't. There's no "rule of thumb", just
check the technical data of the thing (or post the exact type here,
we might find the answer with the help of Google).

>Do I need a real Amiga mouse for minimig or is it emulated?

That's emulated, you can use a modern PS2 mouse. I'm sure we all
prefer optical mice, right :-)?
