Amigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

bluewizard, to amiga

I created a little blog entry to link your Amiga to the internet via a Serial link and RPi. Not quick but functional. Just a little something worth sharing.

@gbraad That sucks on availability, it does feel really nice. It was my reward to myself for completing a couple cleanup projects in my office, heh. i haven't played with the controllers yet, but just using the standard USB and away you go. I never really use the keypad, so not something I'd ever really miss on a modern daily keyboard.

@danjmcs during the current discount period here, they all of a sudden started offering it.

I also noticed they have a 'numpad' option in future: https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-18-mechanical-numpad/

This is the SoftROM for the PET. I will be using it as an 8K RAM expansion on the PET, instead of a flexible option ROM. It is mapped to $9000-AFFF.

So, @Zitruskeks found the problem. I counted the pins incorrectly for the CS signal on the second socket!

@root42@chaos.social avatar

Well, now it's working! Brilliant. We now have 8K additional RAM in the $9000-$AFFF range.

New video! I'm restoring a 1970s Commodore calculator. Spoiler: I used a Dremel tool to spice it up a bit at one point...

I’ll livestream again this Saturday morning at 9 am Eastern. The question is what topic?

I could go over more of my Adventure game. Perhaps describe the funky game file format and query code for retrieving information.

Or I could jump into some 64 in .

Or answer questions about HyperCard authoring?

What say you?

@ericsedge I'd like to read this information. Have you written this up anywhere?

@root42 nice, is this AGA version?

root42,
@root42@chaos.social avatar

@emanuel OCS! But I think they do a palette switch for the interface area, to get more colors on screen.

I decided to work on something a bit lighter (literally) and fun today and refurbished a 1975 scientific calculator made by #Commodore. It still works (except for the rechargeable battery which thankfully was removed by the previous owner before it could do any harm)! #RetroCalculatoring #InTheLabDoingStuff

@janbeta Are those the little bubble LED modules, that HP also used a lot in their equipment?

janbeta,
@janbeta@chaos.social avatar

@root42 It's definitely an LED bubble module that was not made by Commodore. Even the PCB looks completely different. Not sure if HP used the same modules but I guess it's very likely.

Introducing the SMD2000 “Bushfire” - a re-implementation of the 2000 to a modular, mini-DTX design

@root42 just putting out the available options, it's great to have choice.

root42,
@root42@chaos.social avatar

@dirkdierickx true! And it looks very cute with the minimal board size.

Dear #Amiga fellows.

Does the 600 reset itself on the boot splash-screen when hitting escape?

Does the Caps-Lock (that is, it’s indicator LED) lights up on the boot splash screen?

I have the suspicion that the keyboard is deadbeef¹. But atm no software whatsoever on disk (or transfer means) to test this. :(

Thanks in advance!

:BoostOK:

(¹if so, any followup repair/reading links appreciated)
