Super stoked to get my Tank Mouse yesterday from @alienpriv@Kickstarter project! It is a modern Commodore 1351 mouse with USB, Bluetooth, and a Touch scrolling area. Video below!
One of my eBay saved searches alerted me to a new Commodore A1060 sidecar expansion. I would so love this to go with my Amiga 1000.
A PC hardcard in an ISA slot on the A1060 was the first official manner through which Commodore offered a hard disk expansion for the Amiga. A video card can be put in the unit to allow for dual-head usage of the Amiga 1000, one screen Amiga, one DOS PC. I'd love to get a Hercules in there, driving a side display.
One year ago on "Computer Chronicles Revisited," I reviewed a December 1985 episode that featured what even today is the bitterest rivalry in classic computing: the Amiga 1000 vs. the Atari 520ST. 😛
Those who invented all those puzzles and designed the levels in #amiga game #benefactor was just brilliant mind to me. I'm already in Stones and Bones world (3rd out of 4 if I recall) and I enjoy this game every next level, even more! #retrogaming
As far I know #gnome does not run (well or at all) on #bsd OSes. Which desktop do you suggest for a "gnome addicted" dude like me (who used Gnome since release 0.x)?
I'm pretty sure @freezr will have precious suggestions 😀
@ebassi
I'm happy I was wrong. I may be recalling some past flames, something like "gnome is too strongly tied to systemd".
This is a strong incentive to try #Openbsd or #Freebsd! 😀
(My #amiga childhood would induce me to try https://www.dragonflybsd.org/ 😀) @freezr
Question that the #retrocomputer / #retrogaming community hopefully can help answer
I'm thinking of getting a #gotek for the #amiga 500 for internal fdd.
i know gotek can be setup and connected to the amstrad #cpc464
Question i, can the amiga gotek be used for the 464 without changing it everytime its swapped
I'd need different cables etc, and I'd hav 2 extend floppy connection from amiga to outside case. But its more the firmware i was thinking about
30 years ago, in April 1993, the World Wide Web commenced.
Glad to have been there in those earliest days of the public internet. I was a young Amiga game developer, fighting for development freedom on Usenet, as Commodore was pushing developers to not take over the system. 🙂
