You have irreparable damage to the Amiga 4000D board, for example due to a battery damage, but the Amiga custom chips are still working? The solution is the Amiga 4000 Replica project board, with which you can bring your Amiga 4000D back to life. The Amiga 4000 Replica project is an unpopulated black board for restoring an Amiga 4000D in the revision B. This board corresponds to the version of the A4000 Replica Project (Based on the Rev B) from Acill. To be on the safe side, we have not printed the boingballs on the board for licensing reasons. |

As many owners of the Amiga 4000 boards know they contain a battery and several electrolytic capacitors which when age and leak cause severe damage to the motherboard. The goal of this fund raiser is to have the original board converted to schematics and Gerber files. This will allow new boards to be manufactured. The schematics will allow future updates and changes to the design of the board for future enhancements or improvements. |

{This is part 1 of 4 of a very detailed restoration and upgrade of an Amiga 4000. PArts 2-4 are also available too.} Due to a series of strange events, I have ended up with not one, but two Amiga 4000s in the last few weeks. They are both in need of very different restorations. I hope that I can get at least one complete machine out of them, and then sell the other one. I don’t have room for two in my collection, and it will help recoup the costs. |

An Amiga 4000 PSU frame that fills out the space below an SFX power supply. {Really good read with A LOT of power supply information pertaining to the A4000} |

The original power supply on my Amiga 4000 started having voltage fluctuations which a fresh set of capacitors didn't correct. I wanted to move to a small form factor power supply, but due to the way the power switch is integrated into the original Amiga power supply, it meant either running an external switch or modifying the power switch actuator in a way which I don't think is ideal. An SFF would also cause a large air gap at the back of the case, since they are half the height of the original AT supply. |

Thanks to Amiga Zone for posting all of their press releases on the Amiga Format CD. These tech specs were posted by Commodore some time in 1992. They have been altered slightly to feature other models of the A4000. |

In the latest episode of Chris Edwards Restoration, Chris demonstrates the use of a Thermal Master P2 Pro to measure temperatures while showcasing how to update the Amiga 4000 Z3660 CPLD directly from the Amiga. A new add-on board, which snaps onto the program jumpers and JTAG header, is introduced, making the programming process significantly easier. |

My power supply died again. It has been very unreliable for some reason (probably bad caps, or overload), so I finally decided to mod an ATX power supply for the 4K to give it more power and reliability. I based my mod on a mix of 2 other ATX mods: I took the PSU case mod part of this: http://mfilos.blogspot.com/2011/08/a4000-psu-mod.html and the ATX part of the mod from this: http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=7593 which gets you the concoction that I came up below. It’s not too bad I think, other than the not-so-straight cut lines. I put links at the end of this post below so you can find everything that I bought for this mod easily. |

I had the opportunity recently to acquire a new Amiga 4000T/060. When I opened the box I was surprised to find a previously unknown (to me) 68060 accelerator...see the unboxing below. I will follow up shortly with more information and benchmarks... {Has pictures of the manual} |

Deep dive into Escom's Amiga 4000 Tower. There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better — or anything else for that matter — has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released. Let us take a deep dive into what one of the first reviewers in 1994, the year when it was released, called "the mother of all Amigas" and appreciate some of its unique features. |

The Amiga series represented Commodore’s attempts to garner the home market, and the Amiga 500 was their budget-friendly model. Although they marketed the A500 as a multi-purpose device, most users of the time remember playing games on the system. |

This is an ATA hard disk interface board, for the Amiga 500. It's designed to connect on the expansion port on the left side of the amiga, and it's compatible with the ide.device driver included in rkide.lha in the aforementioned archive. |

I presented my Amiga 500 in a previous post. It has only 512 kB of memory, and I would like to expand it to 1 MB. {...} Modifying the Amiga 500 to use the internal 512 kB memory expansion as chip RAM is definitely possible. The best document about it I found on the net is here. The information in the document can also be verified with Amiga 500 motherboard schematics. This requires however some motherboard modifications, but I like to keep my vintage machines in original condition, and do only fully reversible modifications. Cutting traces on the motherboard is definitely not reversible. |

A {LEGO} build of a Commodore Amiga 500 retro computer from the 80s and 90s. My family had one when I was a teenager. I spent a lot of time in Deluxe Paint III and AmigaBasic. The Amiga 500 changed my life trajectory and this is a tribute. |

Allows you to use a Raspberry Pi Zero to output a perfect digital image via HDMI. The pixel clock is derived in a very different way to other implementations which means no Denise / Super Denise jumper and no "sparkling" pixels. |

I’m having some fun messing around with a few of my old retro computers at the moment and, inspired by EEV Blog’s recent teardown and successful boot of a 25 year old Amiga 500 I decided to get my old girl down from the attic and give her a go. Unfortunately my attempts were rather less successful! I was met with the dreaded blinking power LED and a continuous cycle of repeated resets. Drat. What could possibly have gone wrong after a mere quarter of a century? A quick look under the cover revealed the very obvious culprit: Amiga A500+ Battery Leakage |

Very easy to build, small, internal, speed is 400-720kb/sec, able to mount OFS/FFS/fat95/...any? partitions. No autoboot, but it is working on a stock A500 (1.3 kickrom without fastram)! |

This Arduino sketch converts an original Amiga 500 keyboard into a USB HID, allowing it to function as a modern USB keyboard. Using an Arduino Leonardo, which supports native USB communication, the sketch reads the Amiga 500 keyboard signals and translates them into USB keystrokes, preserving the vintage feel with modern compatibility. |
