This site tells the story of me and a friend of mine trying to upgrade an Amiga 600 to the max. Why would you want to do so? Well, hard to explain. It's a freak thing. So if you don't like the Amiga or even don't know what it is, if you've never experienced the wish to do something crazy, well then you better stop reading now. This project was completely irrational -- and therefore one hell lot of fun! |

The floppy disk drive in older amigas are starting to wear out.Those which do not, or at once stage, did not have a hard drive, are particularly effected. The amiga floppy drive is fairly rare and expensive, although, Graham Chui at Comp Karori still has stock as I write this (6/3/01). For those that can't get a real amiga floppy, you can use a PC floppy drive. Now before you get excited, you can use a High Density drive, you won't be able to read or write High Density disks with it. Anthony Hoffman has done the conversion and has the following to say: |

Phase 5 (German manufacturer of superior quality Amiga hardware extensions) was making, a few years ago, a graphics board called the CyberVision 64/3D (based on the S3/Virge chipset). This board came without a scandoubler (a system which would enable viewing 15 KHz original screenmodes on the >31 KHz monitor connected to the CV64/3D). Such a system was proposed as an option : the CV64/3D Scandoubler. Here it is, sitting in the A2000 video slot : The board was able to run in Zorro II (Amiga 2000, 3000, 3000T bus technology) and Zorro III (Amiga 4000, 4000T). But the scandoubler module was only made to fit the specifically enhanced video slot of the A4000/4000T, and would not even mechanically fit in the A2000/3000 video slot. |

The Amiga was a groundbreaking line of home and professional computers developed by Commodore between 1985 and 1994. Based on the Motorola 68K architecture, Amiga systems introduced a host of innovative features far ahead of their time, including: 4,096 on-screen colors, Hardware-accelerated graphics, {...} |

This FAQ is meant to provide answers to frequent questions regarding OS 3.9 and it's usage. I welcome all suggestions/feedback to this site. Constructive criticism is also accepted. Please note, however, that due to the large amount of e-mail I receive daily from the OS 3.5 & 3.9 mailing lists, as well as e-mail to me directly, I may not always be able to add as many entries as some would like. These pages are intended as a means of answering the most common questions or those pertinent to most OS 3.9 users |

Personal Homepage. Info on upgrading the A1200 PSU. As we all know, the power supply that is given with the A1200 is, well, underpowered (to say the least). Here is a project that converts a standard AT PSU into on that an A1200 can use. |

Over the years I have gathered quite a bit of hardware. Maybe I'll add a detailed list later, but right now I'll focus on what currently is the heart of my A4000T: A brand new CyberStormPPC with 233MHz PowerPC 604e and 50MHz 68060, produced by DCE, the company that took over the production of these and other cards from Phase5. |
|
|
|
|
The Cyberstorm PPC is a dual processor PPC604e / 68060 card clocked at 200 MHz and 50 MHz respectively, although there are other variants using different speeds. The Cyberstorm MKIII is identical, though without the PPC chip and associated circuitry. MKIII users can therefore, ignore any references to the PPC in this discussion. |

This project want's to create an enhaced Amiga 500 clone computer, first using the original custom chips from an original one, and in the future, from VHDL cores. The project starts from the electrical design, and ends on the PCB desing. |

So you never thought you would run into someone who, outside your user group, knew what AD Pro, Video Toasters, Flyers, Parnet or GVP image F/X stuff was used for, eh? Not only do we know what that stuff is but we excel at supplying cables that give you the ability to use those terrific Commodore..er, I mean Escom..no isn't it...well let's see, how about VISCORP computers. Well, whatever their called this week, we have the cables. YES THEY DO!!! |

Way back in 1989, when I worked for one of the many CBM divisions, I kept a paper that had a list of custom chips that I ran across in my work. The list got a lot of requests and kept growing. When CBM went under I moved the list over to AmigaGuide. It is a simple idea. It is a AmigaGuide sorted by the chip name and its function. Within that there is information on the full chip name, CBM Part Number and Machines used in. The guide covers machines from A500 to A4000T (and AA3000/A3000+) and CDTV(II) to CD32. OCS to AAA chipsets. Cards such as Gemini & A2631. |

The modern computing world is dominated by a particular binary data format where certain bytes are arranged in a particular order. This affects reading and writing of data quantities that are larger than a byte. Intel dominates with this particular byte order. It is called Little Endian and it is the world's fastest endian. Not only on the desktop but also in the mobile space where it has grown rapidly in recent tears. What is an Endian? The term Endian is said to be coined by engineer Danny Cohen from his paper "On Holy Wars and a Plea for Peace" where it referenced endian from the story Gulliver's Travels. Where war broke out from an argument over whether the big or little end of a boiled egg was the right one to crack. Although only a story, it still sounds silly. But this is where the computing terms Big Endian and Little Endian get their naming from. |
