Hi, was just about to get one from CU_Amiga but if you can test one for me that would be excellent.

Btw I still need to send those RAM sticks to you, I forgot about it ages ago. A pair of 16mb or 32mb sticks i cant remeber.

Zetr0 · 29 January 2007, 20:29

@smiley
I think it was 16's not to sure lol... but whenever you get round to it... theres no rush my friend.

i shall test it after din dins

mmmm roasty beef *

slurp!

Smiley · 29 January 2007, 20:33

Ok, I will DEFINITELY post the ram tomorrow. Its in a jiffy ready.

np mate

Dexther · 29 January 2007, 20:45

Grazie for the help

i completely missed this thread, you have designed a very cool project there! if i wouldn't be worse than a monkey with tools (i like to use them, but usually i leave craters behind me) i would be tempted to tinker my broken A1200... great job mate!

dambuster · 30 January 2007, 19:51

@marco
Look on the bright side if its broke tinkering cant hurt that much, and you could end up with an awesome A1200.
Davids' Isopon P38 easy sand can work miracles, all those craters can be filled.

Go on you know it makes sense

Zetr0 · 30 January 2007, 22:58

indeed brother damnbuster... convert another unto the ranks of modders...

i believe marco's artistic styles will be a great asset for the dark side.....*ahem i mean modders-side.... *heh*

Marcuz · 30 January 2007, 23:53

lol guys, who knows? maybe i'll do it, but it's not something i can do anytime soon, i'm in the middle of furniture chaos, work chaos and life chaos here

Project A600+ : Update

so the system has been running a little while now and yes there have been sevearl NASTY bugs that have had to be delt with (there still a couple of anoying ones too)

1. OS3.5 problems
after being on for a bit it takes up way to much ram, doesn`t free the memory properly, load issues start to arrise and is generally to larger footprint to have on only 4mb ram machine (2chip/2fast).

Strange errors hanging the system when:
opening screen mode changer
attempting to load the installer command

Rem:
I removed the OS3.5 and installed OS3.1 instead, this however required a few more libraries and an installer update to get other programs to work.
Solved oversized foot print.
boot times drastically reduced
no crash or hangup when opening screen mode
Installer 433 works fine when called.

2. IDEfix97 isssues
after installing this for the umpeenth time and promptly watching the amiga fail to boot i discovered the problem that by adding IDEfix and ActivateCrossIDE thingy in startup was hanging the system (although it didn`t do this in OS3.5)

Rem:
I removed these from the startup-sequence and user-startup, the system both boots and mounts the dvdrom very nicely indeed

3. Game issues
Now that i have really got time with the little beastie something are quite apparent. Any game thats 2MB or more seems to hang the system, like hired guns. sometimes a game will load past an intro screen and then just hang OR throw you back to WB with a message (illeagal exception fault). Missing Kickstart patches for WHDLoad (namely A34005.a500 rom)

Rem:
Need to hitup KG for some data

, if i find a 4mb pcmcia sram card i will try that too... tripple tested setting with winuae and winuae will load games the a600 wont, even though the settings are identical.

as an adjunt I have a few JST installs these seem to work fine though for the few installs i have on there. *spanking speed ball earlier*

------------------------------------------

A600 now runs Os3.1 with a rudementary workbench (really need to talk to bloodwych about this)

Phiber · 01 February 2007, 13:49

In my A600 (KS3.1, 2MB, 1GB HDD) WB3.1 is slow as hell to operate due to sluggishness of the 68000.. I just wish I could find an accelerator for it somewhere.. (preferably in finland or europe..) eBay sucks in this context though.. Too much hassle.

Edit: Or maybe I just should settle on WB2.1 and leave it at that. Then get a A1200 somewhere and expand it because expansions for it are more common here..

Wow, nice project.

Zetr0 · 01 February 2007, 20:37

Sweet it will be GREAT to see cv643d

StingRay · 01 February 2007, 22:01

Wow, I never really liked the A600 but this is one nicely tuned machine! Great work!

BinoX · 01 February 2007, 22:03

Oooohh.. Looking good

Wanna do something similar with my A600 too.. Maybe in the future

A1200 project taking last of money atm.. lol

dambuster · 01 February 2007, 22:41

@zetro
re IDEfix
Strange I had the same problem on my A1200, and solved it the same way

Youve not melted the case yet, so all in all must doing something right
