Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Making a PCMCIA extender

Has anyone tried it?

I have at least used something looking more or less identical. Sometimes you find similar cables inside rack servers even, typically just for the port used by the management-module (which is a small computer in itself).

I think the issue you will have is the length. If you make this too long, then you will face power and data degradation issues.
I’m guessing this is why you only see the right angle adapters for sale.

I meant the idea I quoted of extending the Ethernet cable rather than the PCMCIA lines :)

Ooooh! The Amiga Folding Team are going to surge up the charts for the 1st time since people burnt out the CyberStorm PPC boards in the late 90s! That is as long as we don't need fast FPU compute cycles!! Oh wait! 😔

do you know the revision of the main board?

any VARTA damages?


To be honest. I am not that technical but all looks good.  Someone on another forum that i've asked says he gambles it's version 4.3
Played with it years ago. Then didn't touch it for like 15 years.
I don't see any damages from batteries.
I tested it several times and works fine (see pictures)

Amiga Software Issues and Discussion / Re: Missing statvfs.h
« Last post by F0LLETT on April 11, 2024, 10:47:58 PM »
I'm trying to cross-compile Interlisp-D for my Amiga 2000 with OS 3.9 using Bebbo's cross-compiler m68k-amigaos-gcc-6.5.0b.  It's here if anyone wants to take a look: git pull https://github.com/Interlisp-maiko.git.

Compilation is stopping because it can't find a file called sys/statvfs.h.  I can't find it either Does AmigaOS even have statvfs.h?  If not, is there a work-around?  Thanks.

If its not used, cant you just remove the include?

>That's a gross exaggeration.  C64 OS doesn't cost "huge amounts of money".  It's $59 or $64, depending on which package you buy.  And that's in Canadian dollars, not the more expensive US dollars.

That's a lot to pay for 8-bit software these days, especially when rival OSes such as GEOS are free (and have more apps available).

>At the very least, C64 OS is a fun demo, meant to dazzle you, your friends, retrocomputing show attendees, etc.

That seems an odd use case; there are thousands of cracktros and other demos that could be used for that.

Sorry, for resurrecting a very old thread, but I really like this idea (apart from the soldering  ;)). Has anyone tried it? I found this extender and matching "ISA/PCI" backplate, which look ideal:

I have something exactly like this to mount an Ethernet jack from a 3 COM PCMCIA card on the back of my DIY tower.

Rastport, who makes (made? a lot of items are showing 'out of stock' on the website) excellent Amiga add-ons attempted this with the aim of making a commercial product and gave up due to signal degradation.
