Hi All

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOh8WGB6FDo

I have combined two of my hobbies in creating this YouTube video which I hope is of interest to classic Amiga fans. Some of you may know I ran Checkmate Digital and launched the Checkmate 1500 system to allow the Amiga 500 to be a little more like the A2000 in expansion potential. It had a Zorro slot for SCSI/Ram, a Video slot for a flicker fixer, could take up to 50mhz 68030 card and hold a hard drive internally as well.

Any way, after having made a video about my A1000 and A3000 I decided it was time to build maybe the ultimate or nearly there of an A2000. She has a Tekmagic 060 card, 64mb ram, 2gb Scsi, Ethernet, Cybergraphics 64 card, external Genlock, 8bit sampler and finally a VLab Motion card.

I filmed this using hardware and software I designed and there is a how I did it all at the end which may have some good tips for people wishing to film classic Amiga's.

I hope you are all well.

One of my A500 projects was building an expansion system.  It actually became more than that.  I had a board in the bottom of a tower case that had PC and A2000 slots then the A500 plugged into it and a 286 was on the other side.
