Re: PS3 port of AOS4?


PS3 on aw, PS3 on amigans, PS3 on a.org. I hope I am proven wrong and you lot get OS4 on PS3 because you must all have RSI the amount of crap you have typed about it....

If only I had a thread delete button, oh wait I ha.... (just kidding, I don't care PS3 is white noise to me now!)

Go on someone, go on 3cag.net and start a PS3 thread.... (patting the poor animal on the head), that's a good numb skull....

Re: A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


@Jurassicc

Yeah well I will buy a heavy duty PSU from AmigaKit and see how things go. Not sure if they have a fan in or not, but when it arrives I will asses the next step. Plan is to take the A1200 to a 3Cag meeting soon (maybe April, if not May), those guys are in serious need of some classic Amiga injection!

@Jack

My A1200 reports as being 15.20MHz with just a basic RAM card inseted. I think it is something to do with PAL vs. NTSC timing being slightly different, if I recall correctly.

Re: A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


I should have realised all was not well when I ran sysinfo and got completely different results each time.

On my Blizzard RAM board, it is a consistant 2821 dhrystones. The 030 was anywhere betwen 8500 and 9500!

Re: A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


@Jack

Yeah needs more testing before I give up and stick with my RAM board. I am going to order a heavy duty 145W Amiga PSU from AmigaKit anyway just to take some pressure of the A500 PSU and work from there.

Re: A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


Might have spoken a bit soon..... well it runs ok but there are sporadic crashes. I have tried with the trapdoor cover off in case it was heat but no joy.

I am thinking of selling it on to someone who can make better use of it. Unless someone can think of something simple I could try.

I don't want to buy a PSU with a noisy fan and don't really have the motivation to modify a silent PC power supply. I wish someone like Individual Computers would make a beefy silent PSU for the classic desktop (and even big box) Amigas.

Re: New datatypes


@nubechecorre

Agreed. I look to the Aminet as a source of OS1/2/3 stuff. I consider OS4Depot the more important place for OS4 software.

Re: A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


@wolfe

That's what I was thinking. I remember running an 030 on a standard A1200 PSU years ago and I think it did something not too good to the A1200, but it did run to begin with.

With 2-3 times the power I think it should be ok, and those flash drives must be half the power of a mechanical one.

A1200 Upgrade - Power Consideration.


OK I recently bought a Blizzard 030 MK 4 from eBay (seller did not accept paypal so awaiting cheque to clear).

It was a good price, so I was going to take some better pics, do a nice listing and make 10-15 quid on it. However, I thought "maybe I can use this".

Right now I have an Escom A1200 with a Blizzard 1200/4 RAM card with FPU fitted, non-mechanical (flash) hard drive & 1 Commodore external floppy.

For a pic see here: http://amigans.net/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=89

To power this SILENT machine, I am using a 60w A500 PSU. I sold my Goliath as, like the old Hard Drive, I don't like the noise.

The question is, do you think, considering I am not using a 25w A1200 PSU and I have a flash HDD I would get away with using the Blizzard 030 board (with FPU fitted), powered by an A500 PSU?

Re: Windows XP formatted hd


@nubechecorre

If the Amiga and PC (assuming it's working) are on a network, you can share folders between the 2 using windows file sharing and Samba.

For an "idiots" guide see:

Re: Amigans.net a sob story..........(donations)


@Mitch

Yes, that is right, they put the rate up from 33 EURO to 49 EURO a month. The server is their DS3000 product. They blame it on electricity costs (I know Godfreys has almost doubled).

Re: Amiga user for the longest time?


It was about 1995-1996, I remember doing my GCSE coursework on my A1200, my sister had an A500+ specifically for games.

Great times...

Re: What features would you like on Amigans?


Hey! Favicon.ico installed.... nice one guys xxxx

Re: What features would you like on Amigans?


Can someone do a favicon.ico? All the other "big" Amiga sites in my favorites have one, and Amigans.net looks unusual without it.

Ta!
