This just came in..

LASER1.jpg


LASER2.jpg


LASER3.jpg


It's not the ordinary 'dot' laser, but a beam one. Sorry if the pics are a bit blurry, but i had to hold the laser with one hand and the camera with the other. This gadget will help me experiment in scanning 3D objects. :)
 
i vote make it a dot, up the power then zap people in the leg with it.. :blased:
 
I bought myself a few books today.

Wanted to have this since highschool, and I've found this set for an absolute bottom price. It's the 1997 edition with yearbooks from 1997 to 2010, 43 volumes in total which use up about 2,5 meters of bookshelf :)

I finally snagged one of these beauties but it has a few issues. Got it at a right knock down price though so can't complain.

It didn't have a psu ( could do with some help on this over at https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=36196 ) and apparently there is a problem with the cart slot which I think is fixable.

Got one of these:
kvm.jpg

4 port Video/USB KVM
So, I now have my work laptop for telework, my linux box, and my Amiga all using the same screen.

The only issue I had was power. It pulls power from USB, which my A1200 doesn't have..
But I have one of those USB wall-wart chargers, and I have it plugged into the power strip my A1200 is plugged into.
I flip on that switch, the Amiga 1200 powers up, the GBS-8200 powers up, and the KVM USB feed powers up.

My work laptop and home desktop share the monitor, mouse and keyboard.
My A1200 only shares the monitor.

Still, much nicer..

I suppose I could try a PS2/Amiga mouse adapter (with a USB plug) and share the mouse too...
But I kind of like my Amiga mouse. ;-)
And it's just to the side of the Amiga.
The PC mouse is just to the side of the PC keyboard in a sliding keyboard drawer underneath.

Works as good as I'd hoped.
(Well, for the 15 minutes I've used it so far.. But that's plenty for a thorough endorsement. ) ;-)

desiv
(Well, it will be much nicer when I route the cables. They are kind of just lying on top of the desk right now... Cable management is a lot of work. ) ;-)
Actually, my only "issue" is that the cables that came with it are pretty short. They reach what I need them to reach, but they aren't long. Maybe 3'???
 
Another one joins the family :)

I just sold 1 of 6 A500's yesterday, and all ready got another one... This is an obsession! It was sold with "ram expansion" but when I took a closer look this was no ordinary expansion. It's a MiniMax with 1MB of chipram via Gary chip :thumbsup: And maybe possible to expand further... I'll look into that. Also sold by first owner, and he has taken good care of it :)


She will be loved :bounceBoingBall:
 
Nice find and nice monitor.

today i recived a box full of rxs 100 parts lol..
I bought them as a very un descriptive job lot. in the picture i could see the yamaha logo that goes under the head lamp (i needed 1 of those)
at least a partial carb "always usefull" and a strap to hold the battery. "needed one of those too"

box arrived full of goodies.
have a cdi and coil that i was not expecting but happy to find.
a side stand. Mine sux so will be good.
all kinds of linkages and leavers "break's gears"

yokes top n bottom. and the carb seems to be complete.
even have some rear shocks in here.

really happy with it actually as the whole lot with postage set me back about the same as a complete carb costs.
Oh and a spare silencer lol. "i knew it was the box of bits when it arrived as the silencer was sticking out of the side by about 8 inches.

probably going to have to sell most of it off now though. Money just cropped up and bit me in the butt. as my eldest daughter has argued with her mother "lives els where" and now wants to come live with us.
of course i said that's fine with me. so now i need to get all kinds of stuff for her to be able to stay like a bed and stuff like that..

i think i may end up having to sell my jasper 360 + steering wheel :Doh:
Please dont ask about it, as i will try not to sell it at all. but if i do have to i will make a thread about it. so no messages please. "inbox is already 98% full and needs cleaning out"
 
The Clubday wasn't big, a defective A2000 for about just over a case of beer.
A small SCSI tower with some things, like a 4GB HDD and CDROM.

About a week ago, the Blizzard 2040, which is defective from GTEdward.
And just after that, as per a few posts back a Blizzard 1260 in working condition.
 
My Disk drive arrived from the other bay, along with some disks :D

Happy now as I can play C64 games at last, just need to fix my breadbin and somehow find a lever for my 1541 II
 
I just got my hand on my actual first computer, an Atari 800xl. It was still at my grandmother's house, in Zagreb, after all these years.
 
Phoenix hard drive for A500

Phoenix hard drive for A500

Here is my latest purchase... a Phoenix hard drive for my Amiga 500. I think it's a 20 MB drive and it needs a kickstart disk because it's not auto-booting. Why would I want to own this?? Well, I had one back in 1989 and just had to get it when I ran across it on ebay. These things are extremely rare.

I cleaned her up and she's working like a champ! I left the lid off for all to see...
