10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast
« on: August 29, 2018, 05:57:11 AM »
Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to announce that my new Amiga series, 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast (10MARC) is up and available on my website www.10marc.com and on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ar5WUsKKvrw

In the series I am covering all things Amiga related, with an emphasis on using our equipment in today's world. I tried to keep each video at around 10 minutes because I'm also making these videos available for viewing on just about any Amiga with a hard drive. I have the video casts available in mpeg1 which the Amiga with moderate expandability can handle pretty well, and also in a unique ham 6 and ham 8 video mode. These modes can even play back full screen video on an Amiga 500 or 600 with a reasonably good hard drive.
Episodes 1 & 2 are already up and episode 3 should be available this weekend. Please check out my channel and web page and keep the Amiga Community growing strong!
Thanks!

Episode three is up now. In this one I introduce you to my Amiga hardware and accessories.
There is even a quite rare item in my inventory that I show you at the end! Check out the video, and be sure to subscribe!

Hi!

Just discovered your series on YouTube and watched episode 3. :) Great stuff! Was cool to see all that hardware you've got. Looking forward to see more videos in the future. :) Made a post about it on my blog as well, so hope it'll help spread the word. ;) https://oldschoolgameblog.com/2018/09/02/10-minute-amiga-retro-cast-episode-3-taking-stock/

Episode Four is now published - And it is all about the Individual Computers Rapid Road USB Adapter. Please check it out!

This episode is broken into two parts - 10 minutes was just not enough to cover the review of the Individual Computers Rapid Road USB Adapter. I cover the pros and cons of this wonderful unit and try to clear up some misconceptions about it. Please take a look at both Part one and Part two of this video.

Don't forget all my previous videos are available on http://www.10marc.com , and those videos can be downloaded and viewed right on your Amiga.

10MARC Episode 4 - Part One - https://youtu.be/cA4_szGXxRM

10MARC Episode 4 - Part Two - https://youtu.be/6Lq-5T-tnSU

Next week I think I am going to cover the new "Worthy" game - I am having a blast playing that!

10 Minute Amiga Retrocast Episode 5 is up now! In the episode, titles "The 15 Khz Conundrum", I cover some of the current options for connecting our beloved Amiga's to real 15Khz monitors available today.
I also have the wrong website listed in the video. It is supposed to be http://15khz.wikidot.com

Check out the Youtube video at https://youtu.be/0-htHsT-ZcM

I will have the MPEG1 version and HAM6 Version on www.10marc.com soon. I corrected the website error in those versions.

10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast version 6 is up now. In this episode, I am covering the Digital creations DCTV Slow Scan digitizer. That thing is great! It is a bit long (24 minutes), but I had a lot to cover. I think I would occasionally prefer to do one double sized video instead of two  smaller videos like I did with the Rapid Road review. Any preferences?

I will have the MPEG1 video uploaded to Aminet soon, but I may pass this week on the HAM6 and HAM8 videos - with a video this size, they would be larger than a Gig...

Anyway, enjoy the video and share it with your friends!

10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast Episode 7 is up! All about the A2200
« Reply #7 on: October 08, 2018, 02:47:17 AM »
Hey all! This weeks episode is all about my A2200 motherboard - that rare board the Commodore was almost ready to release back in '92 or so. I have one of a handful of the original boards, and this week I am covering the hardware side of things on this board. In the coming weeks, I will (hopefully) bring it back to life!

Take a look at the video here - https://youtu.be/6UO8qxPBb8o

And don't forget to subscribe. I am trying to reach 100 subs so I can give my channel a real name!

All of my old videos formatted for playback on the Amiga are available at http://www.10marc.com

Thanks!

Episode 8 of "10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast" is up now on YouTube - This week I am covering Amiga OS 3.1.4 and some of the interesting stumbling blocks I had with it, and how they were overcome. I also delve into "Best Workbench 1.0", which is a supplement to Amiga OS 3.1.4 that adds some great features! Check it out!

Also of interest - I am starting a new series all about the Commodore 8 bit machines called "The ChickenHead Chronicles" - The Intro episode is also on my page, and Episode one should be up on Monday.

a good reference book is "Connect your Amiga!" by Dale L Larson. It covers LANs, SANA-II, Ethernet, TCP/IP and how to configure Various Cards.

A new epsisode of "10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast" is up - This week I swap out my beloved Warp Engine for a 68060 modified A3640 card so I can send out the Warp Engine for an upgrade of its own, and I swap over to IDE drives and we run the AmigaOS 3.9 > 3.14 Upgrade scripts! Check it out!

Episode 11 of "10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast" is actually less than 10 minutes! Will wonders never cease! This week I provided commentary (possibly a small rant) on the current legal struggles of the copyright owners of Amiga software. Sigh... almost 30 years later and still bickering... Anyway, take a look at the new video!

Also, check out my new series on my channe "The Chickenhead Chronicles" - all about Commodore 8 bit machines.

Nice video as always. I too will buy 3.1.4 when the crap is sorted out and one can buy the roms without needing to burn them your self.
