Epsilon's Amiga X1000 Blog
« on: March 05, 2015, 12:53:43 AM »
Hi All,

For those who are not aware, since 2012 I actively maintain a blog dedicated to Classic Amiga and NextGen Amiga systems (all flavours).

I try to cover projects and look at new releases of interest, as well as hints and tips on how to get things working on various Classic Amiga and NextGen Amiga systems. The link is here:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au

In the last month I have been focused on Classic Amiga project work, with my recently bought Amiga 1000! Here are some direct links to recent posts about the Amiga 1000:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/my-amiga-1000-has-arrived.html
http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/memory-expansion-for-my-amiga-1000.html
http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/gotek-floppy-drive-emulator-on-amiga.html

I also took a look at some AmigaOS 4.1 software released on my AmigaOne X1000 in the last month or so, and a two part coverage of the installation process for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on the X1000 - some of the direct links:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/amigaos41-final-edition-part-2.html

I will update this thread when I have new blog posts so people can keep up to date.

I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Catcha,

Thanks for the blog and testing a Gotek on an A1000.

I may but not for sure, will get a board that will make the external drive df0.
I hope that some one will make memory upgrade available again. I may get and external device.

Great Blog! Great in-depth information.

As to the Gotek, my choice would be an external case with df0/df1 switching.

Thanks,

The kickstart disk uses a fast loading ROM routine to get it in, so I'm guessing an ADF file may not work.  There is a program on Aminet -- DosKwik (ReadKwik/RiteKwik) that uses that routine, but not for loading KS.

One way to find out.
