Impressive stuff. The latest macs are not so great to get at their innards so I believe. Same is true for Microsofts Surface 2 according to a few websites. Looks like in the future if you don't have a big box desktop then the only way to expand your pc is via usb3 etc. Or maybe the 'cloud' will...

Got an aca620 last year from amigakit(good service) and never had issues installing it. It snapped crisply into place. Good to hear other peoples experiences though. I would also be hesitant applying too much pressure on a 20 year old motherboard! Glad you got it going. Grand job.

Great work Kipper2k. Colour me interested for a 4MB/IDE board please.Cheers.

I've lost a hound myself due to kidney problems. It's for the best she, Kuma, was put to rest and saved some suffering. Still not an easy choice mind. Take care.

Hope this is true and hopefully from the Hartnell/Troughton era. Much prefer classic Who so anything that might turn up would be great especially during the anniversary year.

Sure Hiroshi Yamauchi was a business dude first and foremost but thanks to his business acumen he helped reestablish gaming as a viable concern during the NES/Gameboy era. I personally have a lot of fond memories playing great games on snes, n64 and GBA. He had his part to play in that and I'm...

Glad to hear caps on a 500 are not a problem(generally speaking). I've got an A500plus and all its caps are good however on a slightly different note it's clock battery, big blue barrel effort, did leak and I removed it. Thankfully the machine still works fine. I don't think the A500 had these...

Not too bothered with not having autobooting on the amiga 1000 as l will boot from lotareks hxc when l get one. A good way to replace aging floppy drives. I should be able to mount the ide drive after bootup right? This would make the 1000 a lot more convenient to use. Funky thought for the...

Good job with the 50/60Hz switch - my snes yellowed ages ago. I still play snes games(disclaimer-the ones I bought anyway!) via emulation but it's not the same as playing on the actual hardware.

@DutchinUSA - I thought a kickstart board could be put in an 1000 but not without some soldering involved. Someone please correct me if I wrong on that score. The internal ramide board looks very tidy. I would greatly prefer that to an external solution. As a thought: would the board support 2...

From what Tomthul is saying there are 3 distinct items; 1)Ram board that goes under the 68k cpu and... 2)CF ide adapter that goes on the side expansion port. 3)A kickstart board that fits on the 68k. The ide adapter sounds great. It can accomodate 2 CF cards , one formatted in Fat95 and the...

Declaring interest. Just bought a 1000 a month ago, very happy with it but I would like to buy a combined ram/ide board - internal fit would be better but external will do. All the other Amiga models(except maybe the 500) have a few ram/ide options out there but not so much the 1000. Great...
