Amiga A600 setup

Galahad/FLT · 15 April 2011, 11:18

Right chaps, I don't have room in my front room for an A1200 and associated peripherals, but it appears that the A600 has gone a bit mental with the upgrades, and they don't cost mega money.

So, i'm thinking a Stealth board, but from what I can gather, I am then 'limited' to a CF hard drive.

So, I want to buy a cheap A600, and advice and prices on what its going to cost to bring an A600 back up to developer spec for WHDLoad.

I've been doing most of my installs recently through WinUAE, but thats not guaranteeing 100% compatibility, so rather than be lazy, I want to go back to the real Amiga route.

Hi Galahad/FLT,

Its still possible to fit a HDD inside the case if you move it to another location but the extra heat with the already toasty ACA630 would probably be a bad idea.

An A600 is anything from £20-40 these days + extra £20-30 for a 1mb Upgrade although you can do a piggy back mod. I'm sure someone will burn you a 3.1Rom

ACA630/25 is £136 + P&P, A603 is about £35 and Indi ECS is £85 if you go that way.

I might have a spare A600 coming up that Zetr0 will doing the chip mem mod on (so that he can re-write the guide and take fresh pics for the how-to) once thats done I can let you have it for a resonable price

That would rule out the Indi ECS though as you would need an A603 for that to connect to.

I've got Indi ECS, A603, etc in my A600 - you can see how the all fit together on my project page:

All the best,

Steve.
