Andy, Thomas, Success! Hi, I have succeeded in getting an RTG Devs/Monitor working. Andy, followed you link and understood that in Picasso96mode under "Attach Settings," it often showed me "Board0: VideoCore." So I went into Dev/Monitors and
for the RTG monitor I had chosen when I installed Picasso96, I changed that name to "VideoCore." Back to Picasso96Mode
created a new listing choosing "Board0: VideoCore" and I was then able to add RTG modes there. Restart and in Prefs/Screenmodes
I found the new RTG modes I setup. My monitor can switch back and forth from VGA to HDMI. So choosing the RTG mode and
switching to HDMI I was able to open and use those modes. Wonderful stuff, but I encountered a number of issues, a number of my
most used and favorite Programs can only use VGA modes to view them.? When I am running Amibian and running my Pi separately
I have no problem launching any of those programs in RTG mode using utagfx setup of Picasso96. First thanks for all your help,
really great. But any idea why that is?

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Amiga 500/+ 2MB RAM expansion
« Last post by Tymo500 on May 16, 2023, 01:30:56 PM »
If somebody could send full BOM list for this expansion RAM.
I see the RAM chips 514256 4-bit x 256K by Vitelic.
>2 x capacitors on board
>8 x little capacitors
>4 x SIL8/ RESISTOR ARRAYS

and connector , of course.


Board is without clock module for Amiga 500 /512Kb
This version fitted for A500+ 1 MB RAM Expansion.

This expansion board is probably manufactured by AlfaData.

Amiga User Group News / Next FCUG meeting - Sunday, May 21, 2023
« Last post by RobertB on May 15, 2023, 08:44:44 PM »
Happy Day after Mother’s Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2:30+ p.m., Sunday, May 21, at

  Panera Bread Restaurant
  3590 W Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
  Fresno, CA 93711
  (559) 271-0104
  http://www.dickestel.com/meet_loc.htm

     We’ll talk about the June 24-25 Pacific Commodore Expo NW in Seattle and get the latest news on next year’s Commodore Los Angeles Super Show in Burbank.
     For the C64, we'll look at the latest C64 programs – A Christmas Adventure, Avventura, Boulderdash Jr. 8, Cipher Patrol 2, Cursed Tomb, Enhanced VIOS, For Speed We Need 3, Lester v1.1, Irom2, NewsStand, Missile Defence, Party Songs, Christmas Carols, Rambler, Sulphur Eye, Snake vs Bomb, Space23, Synthia2, The Last Defender, Yauzeras, and Zeta Wing 2.
     For the C128, we will run the rediscovered games, B-1 Bomber and Spukschloss (Haunted Castle).  We might even try to run the original disks that came with the Gnome Speed 128 BASIC compiler.  :)
     For the VIC-20 with 16K RAM expander, we will go through the programs that come with the eXimietas VIC-20 Chip-8 emulator.
     Then there are the Amiga 600 with newly-installed Kickstart 3.2.2 and the Plus/4.
     A lot to look at!  I wonder how many we can actually get through!  :)  For those programs that we can’t get to, we’ll save them for the next meeting.

          Truly,
          Robert Bernardo

14th May 2023 - JForth web site update and Re-release.  Still a WIP (Work In Progress)


Due to a resurgence in retro computing wrt the Amiga, plenty of Amiga emulators, various hardware projects including FGPA's I have updated the JForth web site at http://www.jforth.org

JForth is a dedicated Forth for the Amiga.

JForth is a programming language that allows you to interact with your Amiga.

When you are programming in JForth, you are "inside" the language.

You can access any data structure, test any routine, or use any development tool, right from the keyboard.

This direct communication with the computer can improve your productivity, giving you additional time to improve the quality of your software products.

JForth also provides an extensive set of tools for accessing the special features of the Amiga.
You can call any Amiga Library routine by name and reference any Amiga structure using constructs similar to 'C'.
JForth also has some special toolboxes that support simple graphics, Intuition menus, IFF files, and other Amiga features.
 
It has ARexx Support, Assembler (RPN and Motorola), Block and Screen file support, Clone (Strips redundant data to create a small executable), Debugger, Floating Point, IFF Support, ODE (Object Oriented Development Environment), Profiler, Textra file editor and more.
 
Tutorials - Beginner, intermediate and advanced guiding you through the basics of the system

Miscellaneous debugger tools - Showhunks for analyzing Amiga binary files Graphics toolkits Anims and animbrushes

...and so much more !!!

Don't forget to print out the excellent manual. Not only does it give you invaluable information on the many tools provided, but there is also an excellent 3-stage tutorial

First of all have you removed the battery from the motherboard internally?

If not then please do and check for corrosion.

Can you test the HDD in another machine? Do you have an IDE to USB adapter to try plugging it into a modern machine to see if it spins up?
