Post here everytime you get something new!

I have been slowly amassing small items for my building a desktop version of my A600. I picked up from Ed a black CDTV keyboard that was modified to work with the A4000D. I also got a black Amiga new style mouse from him as well. He also has two more unmodified (pin wise) black keyboards for the CDTV that he got a long time ago that he hasn't used. I am still waiting patiently for the motherboard to arrive before purchasing the desktop case. Even without these when my PC-Key600 is given a price I will be buying the indivision, buffered IDE, and PC-Key600 from Amigakit. So slowly, my plan is coming to fruition. :D Here's something interesting though, both of the keyboards I have here, the one I'm using and the one I'm going to try to sell for Ed have the same Serial? I don't know what it means. Maybe someone here knows? Also got a new sound receiver and thought someone might be interested in my older one. I'll post it later as well.

Bought myself some planks today:

Hopefully in a few months they will have automagically transformed themselves into a couple of guitars, but I'm afraid I will have to create the sawdust myself :)

@McVenco: I see barricade material! Are a zombie outbreak occurring into your area?

Hey Steve! Have you tried Aros on this yet? It has similar specs to my own netbook and the Acer Aspire Ones, which are fully supported with native 2D video drivers (with screen dragging), audio, wireless, USB... perhaps your new netbook has a good chance of running Aros well too. Icaros and Broadway should both boot up from an external CD/DVD drive and you can install them onto a USB stick without needing to touch the internal hard drive. Not sure if that NVidia chip is supported but it should run in VESA mode fine.


As for myself, I just received a gift from my good friend Anthony, a brand new Individual Computers ACA630/30Mhz with 64MB RAM! I fitted it in my A600 and plugged in a new 4GB Sandisk CF card that I'd been preparing on my A1200 with a nice 16 colour Workbench setup, as well as a 1GB Macintosh partition for running MacOS 7.6.1.

Here's a photo of my A600 running Photoshop 4.0.

Great stuff Cammy, glad you got the ACA630 :thumbsup:

I'll have to check out Aros at some point :)

My GAL programmer FINALLY ARRIVED! :D

Those who were watching previous A3640 related threads may remember me waiting for this thing since December.

Well it's here now, and it seems to be up and running. Will have to burn some chips when I get home.

*Does happy dance for d0pefish* :D

Glad you finally got that :thumbsup:

I bought some CD32 games, probably paid a little too much for them, but hey - ho they're gooden's :cool:

I just ordered a Pandigital Novel 800MHz 256MB 1GB 7" Touchscreen Tablet Android 2.0 from geeks.com it looks pretty good had the wife get it since she wants help with her droid X this is pretty close and a good price..


Chris :coffee:

WooooooooooooooooooooooooT

Time to overclock :D

Hmm I guess I can post here too what I recently got.

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=520

Thanks to Amiga-Digital.
And a little upgrade thanks to Amigakit;

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=516

Most recent Amiga;

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=539

And thanks to Kuzma;

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=551

And most recent to prep drives;

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=550

Coming up ....
A full 3000T :D

A humble(?) pair of IBM (Fujitsu?) 4.5Gb SCSI drives with active termination capabilities for my A3000D.

No pictures yet, sorry.

Got one of them big heavy Magnifying desk lamps today. Weighs a ton. The round florescent light actually works, but the bulb has those "dark Areas" that signal its eventual death. The bottom part of the magnifying glass has years of crap on it and windex just wasn't enough tho take it off. I might have to see who can polish them around here. No pics, you know what they look like. This one is probably Pre-WW1 though.

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/7711/pet20018.jpg

I got this today at 5pm, nonworking.

It's now before midnight.....
and, the pet is now working.

(1 Voltage regulator, 1 fuse, 3 rectifier diodes, a new trace run under the board that burned away, new power connector, and a 6522 chip (one of the pins was broken off).

I still need 1 6550 ram, because one of my video ram chips is bad.


Later,
dabone

Ooohhh purrdy original 2001 PET. lucky find. Well done

I got me one of these things today:

http://www.htcdesireblog.nl/wp-conte...iant-White.jpg

Finally saying goodbye to my ancient Sony Ericsson K750i :nod:

Great phone, I got the baby of that (Wildfire) and my girl has the big arse brother (Desire HD). :thumbsup:

I'm thinking of getting an Android phone, HTC look nice. G1 is very cheap, is it any good or should I save up for the Desire?

Oh and today I bought a little case for my Laptop :cool:

A MSX 2+ from Panasonic A1WX model and an Amiga 600!

No pictures yet, need time to take them :D

I'd vote for a Desire, for a lot of reasons. The G1 has been discontinued since july 2010, while the Desire only came on the market around that time. The G1 only runs Android up to version 1.6, while the Desire is still being supported, currently running ver 2.2.

More reasons? The Desire has a bigger screen with far higher resolution, it's a LOT faster and so on and so forth.

I'd highly suggest to completely forget about the G1. If your budget is tight, better look at a HTC Wildfire, it's the smaller brother of the Desire, and introduced about the same time. It also runs Android 2.2...

Thanks for the info - thats exactly what I needed to know :bowdown:

I'll save up for the better options :thumbsup:

Received these small babies today... bought here on AmiBay :cool:
Mediator 4000Di MK-II + Voodoo3 + SB128...

A Radeon 9200 256MB is also on the way...

This just came in today:

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m...4/RETINAZ3.jpg

A Retina Z3 with a V-Code encoder module. :)

Although irrelevant, all components came in for a Hayabusa GSX1300R ECU-programming unit! So, i started building the little bugger today.. :cool:

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m.../HAYAPROG1.jpg

Wow, just picked up this little fella!

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...e/IMG_0963.jpg

I really don't know much about it, its the AD version and I'm told that it's working. Seems very rare and ideal for one of our exhibitions maybe?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundy_NewBrain

Its in the original box with foam inserts, sadly no manual but the PSU (look at that heatsink!) and tape leads are here :)

Its really very clean, very interesting machine :thumbsup:

Steve.

this was waiting for me today from other bay. they are quite fast little things and easy to configure just gotta see whos having it (Tower or Desktop).

These just came in. I hope i can manage to make the A4000 CIA chips socketable....

its a subway juv mate

Just been on a bit of a Mac II frenzie recently with a IIci, IIsi and IIvx. . . :nuts:

(Sorry Pictures are a bit rubbish, was rushed)

Holy crap, that IIci looks like new! :bowdown:

I used to have one of those next to my A3000. They're both 030@25MHz and I used to do some little comparisons to see which OS was faster with certain tasks... Good times :)

Yeah case is rather clean and nice, the motherboard on the other hand needs some new caps so off that goes to my old mate the fish of d0pe. :thumbsup:

http://www.proggle.net/%7Eandrew/download/amigakit.jpg

I placed an order with Amigakit over the weekend and it arrived today!

I finally have all the bits to finish my A4000 tower project: A Super Buster-11, an IDE terminator and a cocolino mouse adapter. I'm not sure if I'm going to use the on-board IDE or not, since I'm probably going to need it for IDE CD-ROM and Zip drives, but I'm tempted by the Buddha for those. Either that or find SCSI ones instead.

Oh, and an ACA-630. Sadly I was too late to get the almightily shiny 30MHz/64MB version, but this is still a very nice piece of kit. Of course, I don't actually own an A600, but I have a friend who does and he's very much looking forward to putting this little badboy into his machine. :-)

Attachment 10911
Here are three new babys added to the collection:
At the back we find an Amiga 500 "Screen Gems" pack, fully boxed and complete. To it's right we see a Magicbox Alphagen, for those who don't know: this is a character generator based on an Amiga 1200, rackmount casing.
And... At the front is my one and only, very very VERY rare indeed Amiga 3500 !! (proto for the A3000T)

Pardon the picture quality. Low lighting and phone camera's do not mix well, better pictures will be shot later using a normal camera at daylight... If I ever get to see any :)

Holy Crap those last two posts are AWESOME!!!!!

Well I was also in on that A3500, but Tahoe's pockets were a little deeper ;)

So I went for the next best thing:

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=579

Also from Amiga-Digital, many thanks for it :D

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=580

While fitted with a 030, I decided to go 040, to do the badge honor.

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=581

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=584

http://www.amibay.com/picture.php?al...&pictureid=583

Scratching my head for hours and hours why the 030 and 040 were so slow, in short this photo shows the answer.
So before you slightly damage the sockets and try everything to find out why you are only getting between 0.80 to 1.35 Mips, while you should reach much more, get some memory.
Or better, add a Warp Engine or Cyberstorm.

Hmm, the brunette is pretty hot, I would trade that for my A3000T right away :D

Beautiful Machines! Well done to both you :cool:
Well there is no chance I could follow that, but I did get some dinky copper heatsinks for my CV-PPC to match those Cosmos already put in the MkIII

Nice one, certainly for the Permedia 2 chip, she gets insanly hot :blink:

I'm thinking to cool her with this:
http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?t...g&model=AK-210
http://www.akasa.com.tw/img/product/...AK-210_f00.png

But as it's 40 mm, this might be a tight fit.

A 40x40 mm heatsink/fan won't fit the CVPPC without modification. And if you have the second connector on the CVPPC it will be almost impossible to fit. :unsure:

As you can see on my CVPPC I had to cut the heatsink to make it fit, the voltage regulator is in the way. And if there's a second connector it won't fit at all. A 30x30 or 25x25 combo would probably be better then...
Pic 1: http://safir.amigaos.se/bildgalleri/...pc_cvppc_1.jpg
Pic 2: http://safir.amigaos.se/bildgalleri/...38_cvppc_2.jpg

A magic word of advice: Northbridge coolers from "old" Pentium4 (socket 478 ) active coolers.

You can locate they new in box in online stores. Just use a 30x30 or 27x27mm cooler and all will be fine.

That's the same fan I have on my 060. Certainly that would be difficult to fit with the other one already there, plus the CV's cable getting in the way too. I ran my A4k tonight for a few hours with the CV-PPC fitted and those heat sinks were working overtime. Even the ones on it's ram chips were warm. What I really need is an ultra low profile 25x25 fan or smaller. But were do you get them? Do they exist?

Maybe I should think about putting ducts in there to direct air onto the heat sinks? If I did that I could use a wider range of fans, but I would also have to drill holes in the chassis :unsure:

Mmmmmm laptops use really tiny fans dont they?

@Geraldine
Damn this looks a lot like my former CVisionPPC

http://www.amigahellas.gr/uploads/photos/466.jpg

It does at that, but at least you dont have that damned aux connector along the top. Nice wee fan too! :cool:

Almost completed my collection of consoles, just need to find my saturn! Got a gamecube on way to finish it off too.

Picked this lot up at a car boot sale today.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19426935/Goodies.jpg

@drbrain

Don't buy this cooler it's a piece of cr@p. It's noisy and fails after 6 months.

Get a cooler without fan

Buy Fractal Design fan.

Go to overclockers.co.uk i think they have some at 40mm.
