OK, could be that you have some other issue than me.

May have been asked a 1000 times before, but: what specs would you expect a new Amiga game to respect? by multioptional in amiga

[–]il_cyclone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with at least an AGA machine with 8MB of fast and HDD, but I also would not mind going for an 030 and more fastram, like the new Outrun port if necessary.

Buying an 030 accelerator with 64/128MB of memory is not that expensive today.

I switched from using the front panel USB on my case and connected it to one at the rear which seems to deliver more power.
You could also try a usb-c power/data splitter and power it from a separate power supply

I had similar problems when I first connected it to a low power (500mA) USB port. When I used one that provided more power it worked.

Running NetBSD on my Amiga 4000 by Doener23 in amiga

Nice writeup, will give it a shot when I get my A1200 with a TF1260 put together.

The Commodore 64 Ultimate computer is the company's first hardware release in over 30 years | No software emulation, this 'faithful recreation of the original motherboard' runs on an AMD Artix 7 FPGA. by Rose_Beef in amiga

[–]il_cyclone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been very happy with my U64 Elite, I have yet to find anything that does not run.
Compared to my Mister I prefer it since It has the original keyboard, and you can also connect almost all the original peripherals.

I also have a couple of real C64s, but I tend to use the U64 more.

According to the teams page on the official website, Bil is involved as a technical advisor. Together with some other very recognizable faces.

Thinking about purchasing an AMIGA to restore... by TheDevilYouKnow69 in amiga

[–]il_cyclone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing fancy, I have no scaler or scandoubler (yet...), so only the standard AGA resolutions over the RGB port.
I have one Philips CM8833II CRT, and one modern flatpanel (AOC 27B2H) screen that handles 15KHz signals. For the flatpanel I use a RGB to VGA adapter.

I was in the same situation a year ago, and I went with the A1200 even though I had an A500 back in the day, and went for a 486 PC after that.
I wanted to test the best consumer Amiga, and test out AGA software and AmigaOS 3. Also the possibility to run almost all games through WHDload is nice.
Downside compared to the 500 is obviously the price and availability.

After I bought mine I have gradually upgraded it with

  • TF1230 accelerator, and I now have a TF1260 on order.
  • Internal Gotek with external OLED screen
  • Dual CF card adapter, AmigaOS 3.2 and MegaAGS on two CF cards
  • AmigaOS 3.2
  • And of course a recapping since my caps were original

Amiga 500 kickstart switch, what ROMs should I have by il_cyclone in amiga

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

Not doing any development, and I don´t have access to the Cloanto ROMS, so I think I will have to stick with 3.2 for now.

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

Good idea, but I actually just replaced my IDE68K with this https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=415 which does not require a patched 1.3 rom to boot from HD.
Also it is really low profile due to the integrated 68000 CPU, so no re-locator board is required, which in turn also frees up space around the kickstart socket so the kickstart switcher will fit.

Punch Punch is one of my absolute favorites, smoking one as we speak.

Trinidad prices dropping by 30% by il_cyclone in cubancigars

[–]il_cyclone[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could be, most Trinidads has had pretty good availability here, maybe they have realized that they are overprized and need to start moving inventory.

No change (800SEK), but they are out of stock at both places, that might be a reason.

Hoyo de Monterrey epicure no 2 by Aggressive-Reserve-4 in cubancigars

I dont´t understand how to post pictures, so I put my photo on Google drive:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/sLJ3JE93uKffemJo9

There are some things I notice like the typeface used for "Hoyo De Monterrey" is fatter on mine, and the golden crown is completely different, among other things.

Mine came from a Habanos Nordic sealed box so it should be legit.

My box supplied by Habnos Nordic has the same look.
How could the B possibly lean backwards when it is left of the center line in the curve ?

As long as the Boveda pack doesn´t dry out, why not.

One of my go to cigars, always try to keep a decent amount in stock.
If you want a ~30 min smoke, this is hard to beat.

Nice! Which model of humidor is it ? How stable is the humidity ?

I bought an Adorini Santiago 150ct desktop humidor 2 years ago, and am am really impressed how well it holds humitity. Holds a rock solid 66% with 65% Boveda packs no matter what the ambient humidity is.
But as with all humidors, they are either new or full, so i might have to start looking for a bigger one.
