spanner · 04 July 2012, 21:50

No its the card I didn't realise untill I uploaded it,(Its mean't to be Gray)Had to change the red,green(the 3 yellow screw nobs at the bottom left of the board where the cable goes in) screws with a screw driver.

great mate

ahh yes,i was going to say that but i thought maybe you changed your background to green in workbench.

nice job there spanner.

I resoldered the wires on the video port on the Amiga and the spots are gone now..

EDIT:
Going to make a better video soon (well in the next hour or so) so you can see the card,connections and PSU properly)..

spanner · 05 July 2012, 18:48

I wanted to ask..How do I change my background to blue,like the blue on Workbench 1.3..??

johnim · 05 July 2012, 19:04

with wbpattern and pallet in prefs

What CWB are you using? I thought the WB1.3 theme was only in the 68k versions, made for ECS 68000 Amigas...
BTW: You have an A600, haven't you? Have you got it running? What does it need if not?

Wrong name tho! I actually thought the other person was Bill!! He may have been in disguise! Spanner? check your wallet!!!

Nice!

Yeah, I have some of the sparklies too...
I ordered a proper DB23 so I will see what happens with a better solder job..
Was thinking maybe its related to my power supply too..
Tried a better one, that might have less sparklies, but it also might be that I moved other things around.

So I'll see what happens when I do a better solder job.

I'm just using the cable they included, so nothing is shielded or anything...

Thanx for the Vid!!!
