Tres bien. Let me know if they are still working okay...

That's right... ChrisUnionNJ is just after Oregon Trail and I'm fine with that. I'm PM'ing Xanxi about the DOS diskettes. ---------- Post added at 15:33 ---------- Previous post was at 15:09 ---------- I PM'd Xanxi, but I forgot to note again that I am located in the USA. Shipping to the...

Here's a fistful of 3.5" diskettes for anybody that wants them. All AS-IS but likely readable. Send me a few bucks for shipping and their yours, or swing by if you happen to be in central Texas. - MS-DOS 6.2 original w/ manual - copy of 6.22 update - Oregon Trail original - Ancient Art of...

Remember when pushing the power button would actually turn off the machine? FREE to anyone wants an AT mini-tower case with a pentium 200mhz, good enough to run a classic DOS machine. I am presently in Central Texas at Fort Hood, which is next to Killeen. If somebody's interested in the...

Emulation be damned! Here's a spiffy old ISA Soundblaster sound card that's 100% non-plug-and-play. I forget the exact specs, but it is model CT2860. $11 shipped by USPS priority in the USA. DOS Drivers were copied onto included floppies, there's a cd-audio cable too. Everything worked last...

Looks between $9 to $10.50 at USPS depending on total weight when boxed up.

Howdy all. I am on the move, just arrived at Ft. Hood, TX and will be heading downrange to Afghanistan soon. Anyone wanting to give this drive a try is welcome, all I ask is that you pay the shipping costs to wherever you are. If you happen to be near central Texas then you can come by and...

It's true that I didn't have adequate opportunity to do much testing prior to chip RAM mod. So this will have to be a long process of backwards elimination. Here are few pics of the jumper blocks that I added at JP2/JP7A. I used the fine edge of a Dremel tool to make some very clean trace...

I don't have another Denise around, but I pulled/reseated Denise and CPU with no change. Here's what I got from over at amiga.org : A few people are aiming me at U15, and it costs next to nothing so I will give it a try. I forgot to reseat/swap the CIA's also.

I picked up a new internal floppy from Amigakit at Amiwest. They have it listed on their site for A600/A1200: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=294 This drive can be fitted inside an A500 with some minor adjustments. Replace the two stock standoffs on...

Anybody having some input on this would be greatly appreciated. I've nearly completed updating and restoring our A500 to full operation. I did a Chip RAM upgrade by adding x4 DIP sockets and chips, modified JP2 and JP7A, replaced the floppy drive. But I'm noticing an occasional glitch with...

I'm using the null modem serial link with Amiga Explorer to transfer. I have it sorted out now. I successfully transferred the files from the LHA I wanted to use, I just didn't realize that the app was command line only. I was looking for some fancy icons or something. But I got it to run...

Howdy - our A500 is up and running again but I want to try a few apps that I found online here: http://amigarealm.whdownload.com/amiga/amitools/tools4.htm They are all LHA format, which I can open easily on the PC. But how do I make use of them on the Amiga? I currently have a working link...

The whole kit is on the east coast USA with my brother right now, so can't do any measurements. But I the dying OEM drive I took out was the FB-354 by Chinon. It from an A500 Rev6a. Feels like my 2 best options are either adjust the height of a PC drive and mod the eject button, or try to...

Nathan is posting me one of his new floppy adapter boards. But I still need to source a PC floppy drive that will fit inside an A500. The biggest problem is that the disk slot needs to align with the slot on the case. I tried one drive but the inserting angle was diagonalized. No go on that one...
