Hello All Amiga Fans (rusty amiga guy NEEDS your help!)

[3246251196]

Hey, i am new. do not know if any of you know me as i always keep the same name. on AMD Forums too

anyway, i received two free Amigas today. one was a 500 and another was a 500+ with a few games including Lotus III

i also have just bought an A1200 with some nice addons from ebay which is on its way for monday i think.

i have some questions:

1 - i got a hdd with the two amigas: A500-HD+ Impact Series II. i plug it into the side of the amiga but when i boot up nothing happens - it does not have a power or HDD light on it (that is, on the HDD itself) - does it need a power plug too?

2 - my amiga is connected to my small TV via RFG (i think) there is a picture - but no sound.... why?

thankyou guys!!!

woah guys! i thought AMD forums was quick and one of the best. your replies were SUPER quick. thankyou. i have just sorted the audio out i think - L and R Audio into the RFC Audio In port.

and, obviously i didnt get a power pack for the hdd. but, i am only using this 500 until i get my 1200. i love the 1200 computer. i want to use it for some retro C programming though. i am so used to PC now lol. i am not a newbee at PC at all but when it comes to AMIGA i am so rusty haha

anyway thankyou guys! very good people are you!!

i live in the UK - England - North East - Sunderland. a place which lacks a lot of intelligent people quite frankly lol.

and a little about me: I hate Gateway computers lol. i once had a Gateway A1200 where you could not write to disks! lol

at least this one will be a Commodore!

hello....

btw, is everyone used to a computer BETTER than the A1200? hehe

[3246251196]

hey guys. i just tried the audio thing and there is still no sound.

the 500 RFC adapter - the big piece of additional equipment has a port saying AUDIO IN

does one end of the audio cable go into there whilst the two ends go into the L and R channel of the Amiga?

[3246251196]

hmm. its just the one i got from this box is ALL black. do you think that is why. does the AUDIO cable always have to be red and white/whatever colour?

thankyou

[3246251196]

will do. in fact, there are probo ones in the house. but i have another question based on this...

when i turn up the volume i hear static - when you use RFC you have to tune the tv into a channel do you (and maybe this is why there is no sound - i have tried to change the tuning level but still no luck - its probo the wire but am i right - with RFC you tune in?)

[3246251196]

hey guys got the problem. Fault R520! used the other one and now i have sound!! excellent. thankyou!
