I don't have cd/dvd drive built in,but I do have motorize eject floppy drive. Could be a bit of a disadvantage as A1200 needs to be powered up in-order to eject floppy disc. Hmm I day it may even eject via software.

If you have OS4.1 can you do a benchmark test with "ragemem" get it from OS4Depot I need to compare test result,screenmode must be 1024x768 32bit see correct video bus speed in thread notes.

Some updates to my Amiga.
I added a few other minor tweaks to help with general stability. Here i've added direct +5V power to the IDEFix Express. This helps with some random cold boot issues i've had and also the odd reboot crash: - ![]() I've added a ferrite Core around the Indi cable to eliminate a little bit of noise I had on the screen: - ![]() I've managed to get my Flash Kicks working and dual booting between 3.1 and 3.9 Here are the Epsilon FlashKicks I got from Poland (cheers for the help Stachu100): - ![]() I replaced my aging (And worn out) Kickstart Sockets and added some handy labels: - ![]() Programming them up in my cheap as chips Willem ![]() The settings needed to program these: - ![]() Added a switch to the side of my Amiga to allow dual kick (0v and 5v to select the different banks): - ![]() And a label ![]() ![]() Here is the switch wire needed on pin 1 of each Flash Kick to switch the banks: - ![]() The switch selects 3.9 with HDD powered or 3.1 with HDD turned off (so my A1200 can go into vanilla mode) If I hold key "2" on bootup I can disable my PPC also. This is so I can play Floppy games or Demos that only like 020 2MB chip. ![]() The new HDD power cable controlled by the switch: - ![]() Plugged straight onto the HDD IDE cable: - ![]() Here it is switched into 3.1 ![]() And 3.9 (I unplugged the HDD cable to show the kick screen) ![]() Here's a video of it in action: - [ Show youtube player ] And playing Wipeout 2097 (with one hand): - [ Show youtube player ] |
