I never installed anything above 3.1 before. So all this is new to me.

the a604 is ok?

Here we go with more pictures as job progresses:
Cd test

OS3.9

Bazel painted beige

HxC screen fitted

LED cables extended

Will it close?

Yes, not closed on this picture but it does close fully no problem

I bought that keyboard on Ebay but not idea what language is that?

Still waiting for push buttons and ATX adapter as I wan't to fit modern power supply in Amiga PSU shell.

My Aca620 is at Jens being fixed, so back to WB3.1 for now.HxC is a great piece of gear so who needs WHD Load?

Only just enough space for ACA620. Jens you hear me?

I wan't my baby back.

mfilos · 01 January 2013, 11:08

You can check an old thread on my blog. If you search "HxC" you'll find even more articles that might give you ideas

lukassid · 01 January 2013, 18:28

Mfilos, I wanted to fit HxC same way as you did but Cd Rom got in the way.

You got yourself a Portuguese keyboard!

Very nice A600.

lukassid · 01 January 2013, 22:20

Hi Thanks
Yep it's Portuguese keyboard bought on German Ebay from some Yugoslavian girl by Polish guy (me) who lives in UK. Well at least is not yellow like the previous one and works perfect.

Yeah I feel you mate

It's not so comfortable inside ESPECIALLY when you have an accelerator and a CDROM!

I recently got an mini LCD screen which I soldered via a connector to HxC and works like a charm!

Hi Lukassid!

Very nice work!

What's the performance between a 600 and 1200 Amiga? (both with a 68030 or 68020 chip)?
I don't know if i have to buy an Amiga 600 or 1200, for WHDLoad Games and OS 3.9

My other question is how to use a slim CD ROM drive, i mean power supply cables, where do i have to connect it?

Thank you very much!

The AGA chipset makes a big difference when it comes to WB performance. AGA will run with 16 colors at large resolutions (I can do up to 1280x1024 with the Indivision AGA MkII), where you cannot run realistically with more than 8 colors on an ECS chipset. For a WB machine, I'd go for the 1200.

Thanks mate,

So, the Amiga 600 is not AGA?

For sur then, i'll go on A1200

It is not, no

lukassid · 07 February 2013, 22:29

There is no logical reason for me to have A600 instead of A1200.
Only nostalgia, I have no love for A1200 as I never play with one back in a day.

sebmacfly · 10 February 2013, 09:46

Hi Lukassid,

I have the same slim cd-rom drive!
What adapter do i have to use?

I'll put this slim cd-rom in my future Amiga 1200..

Thanks for help

Hi mate if you read this thread you will know that I couldn't get that Mitsumi to work. I had to use TEAC DVD-rom and paint bazel beige. Also you need JAE to 44 pin adapter not 40 pin. All the best.
