Arnljot, Thanks for the link, very interesting.. Well done. At the risk of sounding totally clueless, The main bent of the article was to set up a hdd for use with WinUAE? I will get into emulators later but for now am just using my 1200 as a virgin (!) machine, playing games off disk or using...

Hi Andy, Thanks for replying. I have the latest hdtools. Burning the midnight oil until 4.30 am.... I've managed to get a partition formatted and running as HD0: It's about 100Mb and w/b3.0 had gone on ok. Works. The problem I'm now having is how do I partition the rest of the drive...

Hi, need help!:bowdown: I have a 1200 with 4Gb CF HDD from Amigakit, A pcmcia adaptor also from Amigakit. Worked perfectly until I became a bit overzelous with DOPUS 4 and caused irrecoverable damage to the boot partition. Subsequent attempts to "fix" it have caused hair pulling fits of...

Hi Protek Yes, it's a 500k pot. the "b" on the end might denote the grade of resistance coating on the actual track or denote (unlikely) the type of variable resistor.( linear are normally marked "lin" and log "log"!) With a multimeter you can tell the difference between a linear and log pot...

Hi Merlin In reply to your off topic question... Goole is also known as sleepy hollow. I'm not sure what people who come from goole are called. ( I've only been here 24 years...and some people are only speaking to me now!! I think I'm up for my honarary yorkshireman award next year!) We do have...

Hi Protek, The best option would be to replace the pots, (variable resistors) It's been a long time but, I think the casing was fused (glued) together. A bit of careful prying with a sharp hobby knife blade (WATCH FINGERS!) should after a fight, open the casing, exposing the pot. Don't panic, it...
