Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Is a ZZ9000 a good choice for me for my A3000?
« Last post by Drew1000 on July 12, 2025, 03:03:54 AM »
Hi, I have a mostly stock NTSC 25mhz A3000 with a SCSI2SD fitted. I was looking into an RGBtoHDMI for it when I came across the ZZ9000.

I would use it mainly for the HDMI output for ECS modes and for the extra RAM. The RTG modes would be nice to explore, particularly with Shapeshifter for Mac II color emulation.

The USB stick support and the Ethernet support would all be useful as well.

I've seen critical reviews of the ZZ9000, often comparing it to other USB and Ethernet solutions which are faster. I'm not very concerned with speed (within reason) but I do want something reliable.

I'd like to understand how reliably the ZZ9000 performs these tasks:

  • HDMI output of NTSC ECS modes
  • RTG graphics
  • Extra RAM
  • Ethernet
  • USB thumb drive support

Thanks for any experiences you can share.

Please stop dropping our name. We have nothing to do with this venture.
So stop asking. If that ever changes, Im sure you will hear about it.

What this has to do with this thread, apart from divert traffic from amiga.org.
You can still post here?????

Not to butt in (but why not?) but the bulk of the conversation seems to be over on lemon - which isn't surprising since this announcement:

https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1056614#p1056614

Which to save traffic I shall quote a portion of:

Quote
It's only a short commercial video announcing the new Commodore 64 Ultimate (C64U for short) and the new Commodore website where you can pre-order these. They start shipping in October.

The video commercial, the site and the product look quite professional. The C64U will be available in 3 editions (specs are identical, they only differ in the look of the Breadbox case) and of the first batches they will apparently produce 10,000, 10,000 and 6,400 specimens respectively, so 26,400 in total.

So it appears that they will, unsurprisingly, target C64 fans rather than Amiga (which makes sense since Amiga has little to do with C= and hasn't for some time). Whether or not this is still on-topic for this forum is debateable, but it does seem that an Amiga fan forum would at least be adjacent to what's going on over that side.

And yeah it's a souped up C64 not unlike The Spectrum or The A500 I suppose.

A600GS & A1200NG / A600GS Alternative Case
« Last post by brownb2 on July 11, 2025, 05:10:10 PM »
I'm not a fan of the A600GS's case and would at the least like a better fitting back plate or ideally a whole new case.

I did toy with the idea of designing a new 3D printable back plate, that is better fitting and not rattling, or even a Walker style case (which extends USB ports and has other minor enhancements), but I can't justify the time it would take for the latter with my mediocre Tinkercad skills.

Does anything like that exist / perhaps an STL that can be purchased if not free?

TIA

I think you misread what I posted before. I never said your were off topic. I quoted number 6, not sure how you misread that for you.

That’s fine. But Polyp is making this conversation off topic. No constructive feedback on this thread. Who was he/she referring too?
I wasn’t referring to Number 6.

@polyp2000
Do you want to keep this on topic and stop calling people Stupid and foolish? For someone claiming they have swallowed a dictionary and pretending they have a Higher IQ than anyone else. I’d stop using that shovel…
As they say. “the door is over there, if you don’t like it here”. You know the rest.

@thread
To try and put this thread back on topic:
I created this thread is to establish peoples thoughts on the Commodore branding coming back. As Amigakit have rights to certain Amiga brands, I was establishing if Matthew Leaman would get involved or not. I now have that answer.
Which to me is a shame. I saw no Harassment in asking. It was like asking a politician to give a straight answer.
It just means we still have some sort of fragmentation in place. I suppose it’s like asking Hyperion and Cloanto to get together.

So let’s keep this thread on topic shall we. Just waiting on Retro recipes latest YouTube update.

And that sounds like targetted harassment.
Am I to understand that the moderators are not only OK with generalised bigotry but also fine with allowing asinine individuals to target other individuals with their bile.

Does Amiga.org / AmigaKit want to be associated with these individuals and should they be allowed to continue with their toxic biases , sullying the reputation of this forum ?

Will the users be banned ?
Or does Amiga.org / AmigaKit support these values ?

In all fairness I try my best. Not easy on your own.
If you look, I do say and do suff about it. I have been away for just over a week. Seems like you are not allowed time off, even from the internet, :).

@F0LLETT

It used to hang Workbench after 30 minutes of playing an audio CD previously when hot weather! The fan has helped.

Well it hangs on using Workbench anyway! Works again once cooled down. Works all day with less strenuous apps now with a fan. Guessing the heat has nowhere to go!
