New Retronaut Youtube channel, with Amiga content channel launched

[Retronaut]

RetronautTech is a new Retro Computing channel on Youtube (but of course!)

https://www.youtube.com/@RetronautTech

Although not exclusively Amiga centric, it IS destined to have a LOT of Amiga content as its content creator, Chris Thomas, was an Amiga nut back in the 80s and 90s

So far videos have covered the Amiga 500, Amiga 1500/2000, and the Amiga 4000.

Upcoming videos will show the repair/restoration of an Amiga 1000, repair/restoration of an Amiga 2000 and Amiga 4000.

Please check out the channel, watch some videos, LIKE them, post comments please! and Subscribe if you like what you see!

Thanks

Yes, I wanted to make a representation of a journey through tech, and this tunnel of neon Retro computing logos. I think the Hyperspace sequence in 2001 MUST have popped up in my subconscious as inspiration. It was fun to make, as I don't really do much 3D anymore, had to dredge up old skills...

I know about the Buster, in fact, during its repair, I inadvertently put my Buster in 90 degrees rotated  yeah, you can imagine....
The machine was not working at this point, so had I blown the chip or was it something else
Anyway, I got it fixed and the Buster survived (it seems so far...)

I find 11's are only really available from Analogic, and for £137. That's a LOT of £££ for a chip that works, and I've not noticed any bugs so far

I do plan on getting a ZZ9000 graphics card, and THAT requires an 11 I think. I'll make that jump when I need/can afford to...

I have it working now, using 4x 4bm simms, giving me 16bm and I'm fine with that. Good to know the Zorro III Ram is a tidge slower, makes the repair of the fast RAM slots worth it (for that 5%...)

Not sure I would get a CD-Rom just to install an OS once. Its a lot of faff for that.

I prefer to use WinUAE and do it all there, where I have all the mod-cons.

Thanks about the channel, its been fun so far

Cheers

Chris
