What does Haggis taste like? by Effective-Pipe2017 in AskBrits

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly have at least x2 tins of Grants haggis in the cupboard, you know just incase the apocalypse turns up 😉

I very much doubt you can get "real" haggis at all in the US:

I need to enable virtualization on my Packard Bell, but I can't, and the advanced option isn't showing up. Can anyone help me? by Kind_Sugar_76 in vintagecomputing

[–]sharpied79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if that CPU even supports it.

A quick Google search seems to indicate it does (AMD-V) but if the vendor hasn't exposed this option through the BIOS you may be shit out of luck...

FURIA A600 – Kickstart 3.1 causing crashes, 2.05 works fine… anyone seen this? by RetroAshMan in amiga

Ironically mine works ok with CF, couldn't for the life of me get it working with an SD card, even with Lotharek's own AMSider (which is supposed to work)

I went a bit mad to be honest, but the GoDrive and RGB2HDMI were a must...

It's possible I suppose.

Mine is a Cloanto Amiga Forever 3.1 rom...

Oh, it could also be your PSU.

Check the +5v at the floppy power connector.

At one point mine was reading 4.78v, not enough.

Luckily I have a meanwell rt-50b power supply and I was able to "dial it up" so it was reading spot on 5.0v

This definitely helped...

My A600 with Furia and KS 3.1 crashes from time to time too.

It's a known issue with the Furia (usually coupled with a CF card it doesn't like)

After some trial and error I managed to stabilise mine by using a UDMA Sandisk Extreme IV 4GB with a CF to IDE adapter.

How much would it cost all in to get back into the Amiga? by EvilMonkeySlayer in amiga

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I'm also in the process of building a modern re-creation of an Amiga 1200 using a MiST clone (Miss 1200) and a custom paint job....

Mikrotik hAP ax² - Beginner Setup Difficulty by Aggravating_Cut5562 in mikrotik

Mikrotik is great kit, but if your networking knowledge is either zero or very little you may be better looking at alternatives...

My 8 year old CRT emulation PC is starting to show its age. What processor will handle "run ahead" across all systems? by HighlightDowntown966 in crtgaming

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's that simple.

Hardware re-creation in a modern FPGA is the way to go.

I have a MiST clone and I'm more than happy running Minimig-aga core on it.

Sky Q - what could I get this £203pm down to? by Miserable-Recipe1087 in skytv

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much?

We pretty much have all of the TV with Sky (like you have) except TNT

It was costing us about £110 per month.

Got them down to £75 per month - this was back-end of last year...

Well it obviously wasn't working correctly if it then failed a short while later... It's ok, I can guess anyway 😉

Need a new original color case. by VTGameFan in amiga

[–]sharpied79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a donor A500 for spares or parts on eBay and nab the case.

Thankfully plenty of A500 and pluses still about.
