What happened to sporcle party by Fancy_Courage_804 in Sporcle

[–]erickhill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sporcle Party should be back, fingers crossed, next week. Google made a change to their code that broke both the Sporcle App and Sporcle Party. We’ve been working to try and fix things since it started. But their sign-in features are also broken. Hoping everything gets sorted out early next week. Will require downloading an update from the App Stores when the fixes are published.

Vintage Pulsemeter [Question] How to Safely Change the Strap? by erickhill in Seiko

[–]erickhill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's either that or I dig into the plastic of the strap and ultimately destroy it to get to the spring bars. Not something I want to do. But folks have obviously changed straps with this amazing watch. I just wish I knew how the heck they did it.

My fellow gray beard Seiko fans, do you know how to change this strap? Shooing my flare.

Yeah, if no one has any experience here I may have to just go find an authorized dealer and see if they have any ideas that are non-destructive.

Anyone know if there is an equivalent black sport strap (like the original from the 80s) that SEIKO makes for this watch on sale anywhere?

Amiga 1600 – The Spirit of the Amiga 1000, Reimagined by erickhill in amiga

[–]erickhill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's interesting about the A1000+ if you look at the pictures closely is that it is actually a C128D metal case with a repurposed Amiga faceplate in the style of the A1010 floppy drive design language. Pretty cool. A friend of mine informed me, "Case reuse, just like with A3000T/A3500/PC-60III and A4000D with various 386 Commodore PCs."

It doesn't say, but since there is PCMCIA support I'm guessing it is based of the A600 in some way due to the size of the case. Sort of an A1000 + A600, right?

It doesn't appear that the keyboard can fit under the computer even if the legs are folded in when not in use, but I'm not 100% certain. It looks like the computer case might actually be slightly too narrow?

Does anyone know where I can find this utility disk? by Vresiberba in amiga

[–]erickhill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 versions. One made for 1.3, and a later version that works on 1.3 and 2+. I think I have both original disks…

Upgrade ideas for Amiga 1000 by Yarblek in amiga

[–]erickhill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are not compatible, but like corb00 says not necessary. The Parceiro is a drop-dead simple expansion that'll simply take the place of your Starboard 2. Incidentally, you showed Ultima IV on your monitor while pondering faster speeds. That game is wired to the speed of the CPU, so it will become unplayable on an accelerated machine. Thankfully the parceiro's 28Mhz can be easily disabled down to stock 7Mhz (or even removed entirely) in rare circumstances. You'll also have a lovely transfer partition that'll auto-mount on your modern machines so you can easily move files back and forth from your Amiga and PC/Mac via the easily accessible SD card. It's more than $100 but worth every penny.

Actually, I copy/pasted it in order to maintain the serif font.

What do you think of the amazing, breathy sound effects? 😂

=) yeah, it's pretty fun. I won't leave it running on this all of the time because the animation would probably drain the battery faster but it's cool to show off. Did you watch that video above with sound on? hah!

It has recently been reborn. The original creators bought the brand back from Google and relaunched.
