Take your time, rather they get packed and dispatched correctly than rushed and sent to the wrong address

Where can I buy the recommended VGA adapter?

That's a standard thing - if you don't find it at your favourite Amiga reseller, you can surely find it in your local PC store. There are these small dongle-type adapters for 1-2 EUR, and (a little harder-to-find) simple cables that have DVI on one end, and VGA on the other end.

[diablothe2nd]

ok folks, i have some bad news

those of us with FastATA Mk4's will need two sets of rom sockets to rise the ata off the Indivision, which means..... yup you guessed it! the keyboard will no longer fit ...


argh! :cries

Fantastic. Let me know how you get on.

I've spent the last month or so without a fully working 1200 tower, and only got it back up and running last weekend. I intend to spend this weekend actually using the thing, so will wait until next week or even next weekend before I get the Indivision installed.

Take some pics, i'm thinking an offset socket adapter will fix the problem

Kipper2k to the rescue

Back then with Indivision mk1 and FastATA mk3 I had the same issue so i cut a small part of my keyboard's metal backplate and it worked just fine
It's kinda hardcore solution but it works.

i'm not so sure it will.

the problem is the connector you plug into the Indi. it's really, really thick and the cable comes out topside, worsening the problem.

i took the connector to bits and shaved a little off the clamp on the cable out side, so the cable runs straight out to the right now rather than up.

i flattened the pins on the underside of the fastata just where that connector goes and i reckon..... if i had a rom socket that's about 1.5 times the height of two i could *just* squeeze it in with those modifications.

yeah i thought about that... but i'm not sure that'd be enough, you're only using one set of risers on yours right?

[fitzsteve]

Mine's here & installed

I just need to find the Indi MkII config tool so I can get the image centered, can't locate it on icompe.de











The Image adjustment on the Monitor is disabled via DVI

[diablothe2nd]

@fitzsteve you got a manual??? i didn't

also, and i'm trying not to sound like an idiot here LOL... did you try the screenmode settings thing that allows you to move/stretch your desktop?

I dont have the Fast ATA, thats why i'd need to see pictures, but i was thinking that the adapter boaard would sit on the header and then traces would relocate the actual fastata itself. I'd need to see pictures to get a better idea of what exactly the issues are.

@kipper2k have you made that connector yet? It seems it should be as thin as possible. I'm going to install a Fast Ata too.

Edit: Oh, you posted 1min before...

i'm tryna figure out something with the lighting, it's a dull day and dark in my "Retro Room" so my phone camera wont produce anything of use.

i'm also waiting on the mrs to swing by maplins on her way back from work to pick up some bits i'll need to get it all running (forgot to ask amigakit to send me a dvi-hdmi adapter)
