My C64 died-ish today

(1989-2012) the sound stopped working and all that remains is a nasty buzzing noise. I did however pick up another one from ebay

Rhino KM133A-ASE AMD K7 board. I've been wanting to put together a late-P3-era games machine for a while now, and I found this board while browsing through Computer Renaissance. (I didn't even know there were still Computer Renaissance stores around, but holy crap, there are - and they actually still deal in older hardware!) It's nice as it supports PC133 and AGP, but also has an ISA slot for my spare AWE32 - which means I can have nice high-quality wavetable MIDI and FM in addition to modern audio.

Now I just need a case and PSU...

Also got a proper desoldering iron, finally - should be a lot handier than swapping between a soldering iron and vacuum-pump solder-sucker!

Rick Dangerous · 08 July 2012, 02:21

Hmmm...
In the last couple of months I bought a 1971 Peugeot racing bike for 0 Euro and invested maybe 25 Euro for replacements. Now it's a killer-bike that kills all the modern stuff around.^^
Depends on the driver...^^

Cheers,
Rick

from flea market:
- my second polish Pong clone with manual (but without light gun) for 4 EUR

- another tape adapter for my C64 for 1 EUR

rampartsagain · 09 July 2012, 12:27

man why don´t you sent those flea markets here

s2325 · 09 July 2012, 12:30

It's last flea market in my city.

rampartsagain · 09 July 2012, 18:30

Look what i have bought for 30 euros be with jealus

now without the green sticker

i know you must think why a crazy guy removed a sticker that could ruin a 30 euros game?
because it is how it should be released about 20 years ago or so

that is money well spent, well sort of.

How did you persuade someone to part with theirs? Have you opened up an A600 before? It isn't totally straightforward and there are some annoying little plastic tabs that break easily if they aren't already, have a search on here for a guide or maybe youtube has a video.

wangerman69 · 11 July 2012, 18:52

Hi guys thanks for your posts

My A600 is brand new still boxed with all packaging intact.
I managed to buy the 630 accelerator complete with motherboard 3.1 rom chip and kipper2k's modified cf adaptor where the card pokes out of the side of you amiga near the pcmcia slot.

Admittidely I paid about £250 for the lot but then i could have waited a year to get another one and figured a 4mb sram card will cost me atleast £70 a 3.1 rom another £20

I should be able to sell my motherboard and other cf card for around £50 ?????

So I dont think I did too bad. Package is in the post from Finland hope to have it by end of the week.

Thanks for the tips on getting the case apart seems a shame to open up a fresh machine but needs must

Just bought the gear from a guy who was breaking his maxed out 600 on Amibay

Am I allowed to mention them here ??????

fitzsteve · 11 July 2012, 21:03

Nice catch on the ACA630 it's a great card and they'll only get more rare, a couple of years back people were paying up to £400 for an Apollo 630 which is crazy when you think what you can pick up an A600 for or even a pimped out A1200!

Of course you can mention Amibay here! You should be able to get some money back for the Mobo, not as much as you expect but to be honest I'd keep it as a spare, Rev1.5's are the best to use with the ACA and it would be easier to keep it instead of sourcing another should your current A600 die.

Enjoy the ACA and have fun with the project!

ps. keep us updated!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't help themselves!! So can someone link me to the CA (Commodore Anonymous) thread/website?? as I'm needing treatment

Mind I don't bother with pubs, football or gambling

PS: And a lot cheaper than classical cars

Retrofan · 12 July 2012, 20:34

Yep... I've got a 1972's Beetle...

Can I ask how much?

kipper2k · 13 July 2012, 19:57

i bought a 51" Samsung Smart TV with 3D, it arrived this morning, its leaving on monday, the screen is cracked all over the place, i really wish they would pack them properly and allow for people that don't care about how they treat other peoples mail

I could post a pic, but its painful.

The cheapest I've seen, then

. So it's around 141 euros.

It has FPU, not sure if it's better 180 euros for a new 1231/42 (that I bought yesterday), although the ACA runs faster.

I think for that price is perfect.

Edit: Oh, no, I didn't pay VAT, so it was with sending cost 165,23 euros.

- AIBB screenshot after making a full module and the module itself

- screenshot of "FcCheck" tool from WHDload. This shows that this new card ignores WHDload's message "I don't want to access memory" and lets it access memory anyway (which is what an A500 does).

@kipper2k bad luck buddy but it is friday 13th better luck with replacement

Cpt. Hindsight · 14 July 2012, 14:57

Well, bought a few days ago, but today I had the time to pick it up at the post office.
It's 12 Amiga cds incl. full versions of Cinema 4D 4(Amiga Plus cd), Indiana Jones and the last crusade, Final Writer 3 and some others. The cds are only in papersleeves, but that's ok with me for a price of 2.50€ plus postage.

Yep, paid £111. Was a fair price imho. Upgrading it with 128mb Ram as well. Thought about the ACA but the Blizzard at that price suits me perfect

Now I'm waiting for Kippers shipment so I can mount the external IDE-CF adapter and the HDMI-out, and after that I'll finally install 3.9 on my 1200

Sure whichever and whatever you want.. best do a new thread tho... Actually much as I have no intention to buy the new "Amigas" I am curious to see pics and hear peoples "reviews" of them
