The Checkmate Amiga/ATX cases make some sense because new horizontal beige desktop ATX cases basically don't exist. Unfortunately they're a bit too costly, but there's no other options. This monitor doesn't make nearly as much sense, there's plenty of other monitors out there that do what this...

It's not just 1-bit either - tons of very important games also rely on 4-bit color being available. I wish I could help fix this, sounds like a weird hardware design choice.

There was a pile of iisi PDS Pivot video cards on eBay for peanuts about 10 years ago. Everyone bought one and they're long gone.

Oh the 4GB (brand is Team) is working fine. I also tried an 8GB (Kingston) and that works too. The problem cards were all 2GB. Brands were Kingston (have 4 of the exact same model here) and one PNY. I also have a Toshiba card that simply locks up both versions of the ZuluSCSI (doesn't even give...

Just bought a ZuluSCSI RP2040 and immediately ran into a bug that's not present on the older hardware version - SD cards smaller than 4GB won't work. I tried a whole bunch of 2GB cards that I knew worked on the old hardware and got the 5-blink error message every time. Tried a 4 and 16GB card...

Are you testing these with a load? Even working normally they’ll tick with nothing connected. Threw me off when I first started working on them.

Bought one and installed it on an Amiga - it was a 2000 with a GVP A2000HC+8 controller. Worked pretty good! I made a 3.9GB disk image for use on a 4GB card and it was a bit of trial and error to generate a blank image that made sense because I forgot that disk geometry calculators were a...

Is there any possibility of an optional fallback mode for using the whole SD media as before? Since this is apparently going to replace the older SCSI2SD design, it would be nice to have some backward compatibility with existing setups. Plus I hate wasting disk space.

I suppose. We do have people reproducing the Amiga 1000 Rejuvenator, and that's pretty much the Amiga equivalent of the MacSnap - gives the launch A1000 the ability to run software that needs an A500, even though A500s are cheaper today.

I have a Mac 128 here that I need to start working on soon, and it kind of gets me wondering if it's possible to build something like an enhanced repro of the MacSnap - a full 4 MB of ram, SCSI, 128K ROM, the works. Basically turning it into a Plus, but reversible and stealthy. Maybe even with a...

I've had an AEC-7722 sitting here for years after I couldn't get it working with any IDE drives. I was under the impression that they were LVD only/wide only and could never be jumpered back in spite of the jumper for it but I guess I was wrong about that. Board says it's rev. 3.0 and it only...

UPDATE: I ran the main battery down and that's what caused the boot amnesia. Very strange. It shouldn't be possible to make it forget the boot disk at all. Is there any way to make it permanent, make OS9 the default? If I changed the order of the partitions would that break OSX?

I have a Lombard and I just rebuilt my PRAM battery. Kind of a pain in the ass (the old holder won't hold it anymore, I basically just ripped it out and redid the mounting using velcro). Main battery isn't completely dead; it'll hold a few minutes worth of charge. It's keeping time but it's...
