Agafaster> I'm in March, Cambs (famous for the escaping IRA dudes from HMP Whitemoor, in 1994).

It's flat out here and global warming/rising sea level is a bit worrying. I have a swamp out the back that is at sea level!!!

@MrLard

I'm afraid there's not much we can do about the global warming thing since it has also been observed on Venus and Mars.  It's just the Sun getting hotter.

But as for the 128 MB A1200, you're in fine shape there.  Mine will have 64 megs when I get around to installing it.  Now I just need to find a PAL-capable monitor so I can play Total Chaos on it.

@SamuraiCrow

I need to set my 12 up from scratch. Get me some 3.1 ROMs and disks and set up a nice env for a VGA monitor and get back into coding.

I was a Software dev guy in the industry for 5 1/2 years.

But, then got some sense, after 4 years of dossing with McJobs I qualified as an Electrician.

Working as a programmer totally f@*k'd up a very enjoyable hobby. (and polluted me with MicroShaft)

Sounds to me you're gonna be of some use around here Mrlard.. :)

3.1 rom and workbench is the first step for me. This 12 of mine is still 3.0. Gonna make the rom myself, hence the interest in flash based roms. E/eproms are of course an option, but i'd like something where perhaps i can update the rom while it is insitu, quickly.

Need schematics!! I've found some, but i don't think they're of the same rev as my miggy.

This place needs sticky's of every mod, and info that muppets like me keep asking for. Cos we learn to fear the search forum button, and the fact i have 'google' burned into the back of my retinas..  :roll:

As for Tuts, (i've barely scratched the surface with this forum and others, forgive me..) If there is a lot of info about but not in one place, if you guys here point me in the right directions, get me the info required I'll happily start writing them up in coherent lumps.. into pdf's and stuff if it sounds useful??

Might help people navigate their way through it all, and naturally credits will be given to the peeps who have created the base ideas and material, and also they will be given first views to edit and confirm details are correct..

I have to admit to crimes against the Miggy. I always wrote code for portability. (I had to be able to compile it on many platforms)

I did fiddle with some intuition programming, it's full of pitfalls if you're a dabbler.
