That is really sweet! Can't wait to get one!

BTW, may I ask what diagnostics program you're using?

Daedalus · 13 August 2017, 00:44

Cheers! That's Keir Fraser's Systest, and rather excellent it is too. You can download an ADF and it literally takes 3 seconds to load.

Amiga4000 · 13 August 2017, 01:05

Thanks for the link and the awesome work Rob!

And for your next work of magic.... could you whip up a Zorro 2 to PCMCIA adapter?

Amiga4000 · 13 August 2017, 04:02

Can't really make it out from the video but, is www.robthenerd.com printed on the board? That would be awesome if it did!!!

Argh, I've got too many other projects on the go these days, and that's another one you've put in my head

Oh well, it's on the list now - no promises though! If my clockports Zorro-II adaptor works, a PCMCIA one shouldn't be substantially different. We shall see...

It is indeed

Lord Aga · 13 August 2017, 14:20

Wow, I have just stumbled upon this project. It is amazing!

Go Daedalus go

Daedalus · 13 August 2017, 23:24

Cheers

Just tested it with an A2090 hard drive controller... And it booted first go

That's me out of Zorro cards to test with it for the moment unless I can borrow some others from anyone...

Will assemble the rest of the cards anyway and have a look at getting them to people.

Hi Daedalus,

I have allready done a ZII-Adapter and you can find all files in German here:

http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50215

You can order diy-kits here: http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55852 (registration and some posts required - approx 15€ with parts)

Keyfeatures:

Pass-through for the expansion port with working Autoconfig-chain

Adding missing signals

Optional external power-supply: A floppy-power cord can be pluged in and a relay-switch detects if it is connected an the amiga is switched on.

Missing features:

Supports only one DMA card (There is simply no buster-chip)
unbuffered busses

Just for your information. You can use my files for inspiration...

Best regards Matthias

Daedalus · 14 August 2017, 13:58

Ooh, interesting! I didn't know anything about that... It's a shame projects on the German forums rarely become visible on the English-speaking forums, it would probably help you sell many more items as well as eliminating issues like duplicated development work.

My German is quite rusty so I'm going on Google Translate, but I can't register on A1K for the moment due to holidays it seems. I'll register when I can and have a proper look. Thanks for the offer, it sounds like we've ended up in almost exactly the same place

E-Penguin · 14 August 2017, 22:34

Now I'm going to have an even harder choice deciding whose I'm going to buy!

Marchie · 15 August 2017, 09:29

It works! Fantastic!

Toni Wilen · 16 August 2017, 20:34

Sorry, thats too difficult order process, I'll wait for easier one

LMK when it's ready. I can take one for Toni as well if he wants one. :-D

Daedalus · 17 August 2017, 10:18

Well, I don't have any sidecar peripherals available to test the passthrough with, in particular an ACA500, so I was hoping to test that first before I send them out. I'll keep you posted!

E-Penguin · 17 August 2017, 14:34

I'll lend you my ACA500+ for a discount on the Zorro adapter

Daedalus · 17 August 2017, 14:48

Ummm, well if you're serious you've got a deal!

E-Penguin · 17 August 2017, 14:53

Of course I'm serious. I'm German. We know no other way.

Daedalus · 17 August 2017, 14:57

Haha, fair enough

I'll send you some details via PM.

E-Penguin · 21 August 2017, 10:36

It's in the post. I may have gone overboard on the packaging. If a cubic metre of bubble wrap appears on your doorstep, that's it.
