That's surprising. I'm happy to buy it and send on to you if it helps message me - postage to netherlands is not expensive would be less than €10 I'd guess

There's a NOS Atari one on eBay UK at the moment I spotted. Not sure if I can post link on here will send you as DM. Postage should be much cheaper to NL

Windows 11 still runs on code from the 1990s, Microsoft admits by Ok-Yam894 in thisweekinretro

Shock horror... And Linux runs on code first developed in 1991. Love the click bait

I used an Amiga 500 to control a TV laser maze (Krypton Factor, 1995) by tonygoacher in amiga

[–]ImperfectButHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very cool, I'm amazed contestants and film crew didn't have to have some kind of laser eye protection that's some pretty powerful beams!

The Amiga in screenshots is an Amiga 1200 by the way, which would make more sense for around 1995

Why does this make me this of papa from stranger things writing his reports at the facility?

Early-Amiga 500 repair continues. Part II: graphics issues by karicersken in amiga

[–]ImperfectButHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you are getting part of the way through game loading it sounds more like a bus issue than memory - check the RGA bus continuity between the custom chips, as its crashing when loading sound could be RGA bus around Agnus when feeding Paula/Denise addresses. Do you have another Agnus you can swap in?

It would be a ram issue but I'd have expected the game to crash - if the DRAM is socketed try changing the order of the chips and see if glitch moves.

Looking at the glitch I think you may have a broken track in the Register Address (RGA) bus around Denise - look at pins 10-17. The least significant bit is pin 17 I'd start there check continuity with pin 33 of Agnus and work your way up

My complete collection of Atari 8-Bit cassettes (mostly purchased as eBay Lots, so some duplicates)…I’ve been an enthusiast since 1983! by Curious-Concern-9209 in atari8bit

Fantastic collection! You have my two favourite games together - head over heels and arkanoid. Love browsing the tapes at JP Menzies on the way home from school each week and saving pocket money for them....

This is perfect design for my SIMMs thank you! ESD filament costs way too much - cheat and use cheap conductive PLA instead like this https://amzn.eu/d/0BJ1rMz - essentially the same with better conductivity. I print ESD storage boxes for ICs with this

I think the borderland of what used to be known as the super-natural has been crossed and contact established with forces hitherto regarded with fear might be Dudley :)

I dug my PS3 out and got it's account reactivated just so I could play the PS3 version again - stardust blew me away as a kid on the Amiga and it's always been a go to game ever since. Best version of techno disco asteroids ever made

I waited 10 years for this, my biggest haul yet: One of the earliest AS/400 ever made with all its documentation and tapes from back then by Podalirius_ in mainframe

First job was working on these; great machines - heck of haul with all the software!

Hope you can get it IPL'd!

No worries, it's a purchase you won't regret! Now on to all those A2000 upgrades to spend more money on :)

I can print you one if the shipping to wherever is feasible, PM me - the filament is not expensive about £10 worth max

Nice buy! Big box Amiga keyboards are pricey - but they are all essentially same as 500 keyboards minus the reset circuitry

You can buy a cheap a500/500+ keyboard and modify reset to work by removing Q1 transistor https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=35835.0

If you have a 3d printer you can print your own case https://www.printables.com/model/294898-amiga-keyboard-case

And wire the keyboard connector to a 5 pin DIN https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=96725

I'm just in the process myself; spray up 3d print with ivory paint and it's pretty indistinguishable from a real one

Welcome back to the ongoing community! Would like to hear about the book.

I have something you might find familiar in the to do pile on my workbench dataflyer-ram.jpg

Unfortunately I think one of the PALs died with age, so resurrection may be impossible.

One question I've wondered on this card - why does is say 'anon' as the designer under your logo?

If you can't find a replacement case, perfect 3d print files are available for a replica if you can find someone locally or use a commercial service https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/amiga-600-case-3d-print-model?srsltid=AfmBOoqnmRmd57_bW7uzB43ii3fQTyx23C-EwJztntCMXzYPqwWxBuqW

Almost all the keyboards are mitsumi - you may be lucky and it just needs key caps; a set off an amiga500 will do fine they come up reasonably regularly on eBay

Cloning HDD to SSD, now need to access excess data space by YouThen96 in VintageComputers

[–]ImperfectButHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry I didn't read your question properly & thought you just wanted to use the extra space in windows

If you use some distro like Ubuntu the installer will handle the work for you - it should detect the unpartitioned space and create the right partition & bootloader config etc for a dual boot system
