Get a recap on it. I dont care how good it looks. Commodore used garbage caps on the 600, 1200 and 4000 as far as I am concerned. It doesnt take a lot of money to do and saves the machine. I can promise you they will start to fail sooner than later.


How about 3000?

Its not possible to use Indivision ECS with Vampire2.


Pffft, let's debunk that idea! :-)

See attached picture ...

A quick update photo.

Done so far :

Vampire2 ... oooh soon fast and soo much memory to play with!!!!!
A604 memory expansion with RTC
IndivisionECS piggybacking the A604
SubwayUSB also connected to the A604
16GB CardFlash on the IDE connector
KS3.1 ROM ... though it'll be coming straight back out again now that I'm happy the Vampire2 has that covered.
AmigaOS 3.9 BB1 installed
802.11b wifi in the PCMCIA slot

Todo :

Remove TV modulator
Re-cap the motherboard
Work out how to elegantly run the HDMI port, VGA port and USB ports.
Work out how to get some air flowing in there

Sweet. You've done a lot of the same things I plan to do with my 600 once I get it back from Ascii. Just wish I could find the Subway USB.

Nice!  I would add BB's 2, 3, and 4.  And tap a fan off that floppy header.  Don't want all that fancy new hardware overheating. ;)

The Rapid road will also work with the A600 and should be more readily available.

That's a good point ... wonder how to measure how much the A600 is taking from the 12v and 5v lines ?
