Easynet pmcia card, indivision aga? What else?

So, how do we move the cf card to be removable?

Pop it out above the PCMCIA slot. Never seen these before? Google Kipper2k.

Does the Indivision pass thru the Spectrum? I though the bandwidth may not allow it.

Yes, works fine.  I was never able to get it to pass through a Picasso II (tried two different revisions), but no trouble with the Spectrum in any screenmode that I've tried (incl. the Indivision's 800x600 mode).

Oldsmobile_Mike,

Now if I could feed that into a Picasso4, I would be in Heaven. My Combo card uses 4) 4Mb mem sticks so I have to remove 1 and I like no waste!

PIV has a passthrough for it's own scandoubler module, I wonder if it could be rigged to accept an Indivision input, instead?  Not worth risking blowing something up though, I don't think.

So with the 030 for sale on amigakit, i should be able to run most stuff? I guess net browsing will be limited as 060's are at silly prices atm.

So, I have workbench 3.1 on disc and I assume that's whats on my cf card also. Is there many improvements in 3.9?

I'd like to make my workbench prettier with nice icons and such too. I'll have to get the pcmcia card for that i imagine. Here is the card ive just fitted in my 1200 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/141478923137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I'll get the easynet pcmcia card at some point too.

3.9 includes all the things you're asking about - web browser (although Ibrowse is better on classic systems), updated TCP/IP stack (although again, others are better than Genesis... some prefer Miami, EasyNet, Roadshow, etc.), really attractive (in my opinion) GlowIcons, multimedia apps, support for large hard drives, better support for CD drives, blah blah. Personally I think 3.9 is great on upgraded classic systems, and would run well on an A1200 with the accelerator and Indivision mentioned. Others hate it. You can't please all the people all the time!

You can add the clock module later.  Plugs right in.

Motherboard revision is printed on the motherboard.  If you've never had 'er open before, now is a good time to familiarize yourself with all the bits.  Probably could use a good cleaning, too.
