Hi All,
Well I have actually been lurking in the background for quite some time but recently ordered a couple of things and it occured to me just now that I hadn't said hi to anyone yet (except the sellers) so HI!
A little background, I'm originally from London UK, have lived in various states in the US since 2000, but have settled in Florida about 5 years ago.
I have a background in electronics engineering, telecommunications, software programming (mainly machine code), PC hardware design/repair/support/training, basically I have been involved in almost all aspects of computer systems at one time or another.
When I left the UK, I left my Amiga with my parents with the plan to have it sent on once settled. Well that didn't pan out as it got lost at my parents so I never expected to see it again. With the cost of Amiga hardware and accelerators I didn't expect to own one again, however when my parents visited me a couple of years ago they brought it with them to my surprise (much was still missing, but the main system with accelerator was there, and it all works) Since then I have been slowly getting parts to add to the system and I'm about to do the 1st major upgrade in over 20 years.
Current setup:
A1200 (recapped), Apollo 1240 (recapped and battery removed, not that it was leaking) with 16MB, 4XEIDE 99, 4GB DOM, Squirrel SCSI (HDD & CD), Gotek.
Parts collected for insta-upgrade ;-)
Black case, Kipper2k Black Keyboard (awaiting delivery), Bifrost LED, Single SIMM 64MB Mod for Apollo, RapidRoad, Indivision AGA CR2, OLED for GoTek.
Additional:
Will install premium caps for a re-recapp on the MB, remove TV modulator and use area for Indivision AGA CR2.
I am considering upgrading the 040 to an 060. I have ordered the 3.3v regulator and I'm looking for the new boot ROM for the 060. My issue is I would really want to get the rev 6 060 and cannot locate a reliable source.
I have an PC PSU currently but I am maybe looking at using a PicoPSU.
