There's something just right about using a CRT with miggies

Lol yeah, feels more at home.

I was sitting there on the edge of the bed playing Golden Axe for ages LOL, I forgot how well that game handle'd 1 button. And you're right the games look better on the old CRT

I had to hack the CWB ADV a bit though due to flicker so I've got the Igame and Dopus for example off of the CWB Full version but it all works!

I see you got your cable for the 1084 monitor... I have a 1084s which I assume just means mine has speakers I suppose - they give a good picture - I much prefer playing Amiga games on this type of monitor compared to going through the Indivision onto a flat screen.

The only thing about the 1084 range is that they have this round pin RGB input and not a common RGB Scart type of connection at the back - it makes me wonder if you could ever connect another games console to it - I suppose you would have to make up or buy a specific cable...

I got charged around 50 quid also. Never paid it and they never chased it up. That was over a year ago now!

It was DHL btw.

I forgot to pay a DHL customs invoice once. Month overdue and a solictor wrote to me demanding payment! You are lucky barsteward getting away with it!

Hi Peter. Im using composite connection now as I couldnt get the right lead but anyway the monitor has a scart socket but I only have the one now. Anyway the picture on the composite is much better on the 1084 then it was on other tvs so its fine

Peter · 09 April 2010, 19:51

So the 1084 has an actual RGB scart socket at the back but the 1084s doesn't - rats just my luck...!

I bet Airey has a round pin lead in his shed.
Composite looks ok though...

Yeah my 1084 has a Scart Socket

But I was surprised the Composite was so good on it, Conmposite looked awful on my Flat screen TV's with the same Amiga.

Your 1084s, does it have a round 6 pin or 8 pin socket? The lead I have is 6 pin so maybe its of some use to you?

Steve.

Jope · 09 April 2010, 20:32

You can't really make a generalization that the 1084 has a scart connector. There's many kinds. :-)

6 pin din, scart, db9 depending on the unit.

Sorry what I mean to say was (and have edited it now) *my* 1084 has a scart socket

cosmicfrog · 16 April 2010, 21:30

so is there a clock port on the a600 ??

edit:

Subway requires an Amiga equipped with a suitable clockport:

DDNI · 16 April 2010, 21:52

doesn't the ecs indivision have a clock port?

edit... nope.

But there is this. Need to check if it will fit with a630 tho.

I'd need to change my 1mb ram expansion for an A603 or get one of these:

But that and the Subway USB will be neary £100 and thats not in the budget at the moment!

cosmicfrog · 17 April 2010, 10:29

good the A603 has a clock port on as I can`t see where you would fit the
A600 CLOCKPORT ADAPTER in you a600 hehehehehhe

still food for thought

mfilos · 17 April 2010, 12:34

Since in the past I owed an A600 with M-Tec 630+Clockport adapter (it was way before A602 and A603) I can assure you that it would fit just fine.
The socket for Galye+PCB is very low so it can be under Apollo.

You can check out how it looked on mine:

Philophus · 17 April 2010, 13:49

Thats a miggy with a mission.

fitzsteve · 11 October 2010, 19:06

I guess we need to change the title of this thread to Apollo 620 Pr0n!

I know Jens is producing new A600 Accelerators, but I couldn't help myself when I saw Chiark was selling his Apollo 620, this was the one I really wanted back when I bought the Apollo 630 because unlike the 630 this one has the 68k fallback for when I want to play those old games on floppy.

I also picked up an A603 and at some point want to add an Indivision ECS but for now I'm using an S-Video adapter which is doing an OK job.

The A603 arrived today and I thought I'd take a couple of pics whilst installing...
