General chat about Amiga topics / Re: 630+ Members. Where is everyone?

You saying you would rather that cluttered mess that was a front page? or are you talking about the index page of amiga.org.

The forum is the only thing that is of any interest here, the index page is barely relevant for anyone. If I was AmigaKit I would have made sure to keep amiga.org away from customer support for AmigaKit products (ie the opposite of what AmigaKit has done), makes it so much easier to pass on the day you want to sell.

Weirdly enough, the redesign that didn’t feature the forums on the first click killed my desire to come to this site. That makes no sense and obviously I do still show up once in a while but it raised the bar just enough to dampen the mood.  ???

Not sure I follow. Your comment is confusing. You saying you would rather that cluttered mess that was a front page? or are you talking about the index page of amiga.org.
Not my decision, but you can always make a bookmark.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: A1200 - Alternative to PCMCIA for internet

Then your posting about having wifi down the street wasn’t really relevant, was it?

WEP was broken by design, it was cracked even before it became "standard" and keysize (64bit or 128bit) didn’t really matter. WAP ("WAP1") uses 128bit keys, but new set of keys per package (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, TKIP) unless you go "enterprise" with 802.1X authentication, which then also gives you AES and CCMP. Anyways, WPA was meant as a stopgap while "proper" WPA, aka WPA2/ieee 802.11i, was being implemented which made AES mandatory. The idea was that any hardware capable of WEP should also be capable of WPA, while WPA2 would most often require new hardware. Regardless of wpa or wpa2, with pre-shared key (PSK) anyone who snaps up that key somehow, can read all traffic on that wlan, as the PSK pretty much is the master key used to generate the other keys used with all attached sessions, while with 802.1X, each device gets its own master key for that session. The problem for Amiga now is that we are entering into WPA2/WPA3-only wifi access points, and 802.11b support also vanish. So the only "legacy safe" way forward is to have a dedicated VLAN with a dedicated legacy access point supporting old wep/wpa and 2.4GHz 802.11b, keep signal strength low, firewall it from the rest of the networls and monitor it closely.

Come again next week for crash course in IPv6, DNs64/NAT64, 464XLAT, DS-Lite (not the Nintendo) and why it all matters.

For the record, you brought up wep. I never use internet on the Amiga, whats the point.
Thanks for the lovely rambling, :).

Amiga Software Issues and Discussion / Re: Help with AmigaDOS 1.3

Why so complicated, if that folder already have an icon, then simply select it on the Workbench and then use the menu (Workbench > Duplicate) to copy it. Then select the copy and use the "Rename" menu entry to give it another name.

1) I don't see any other way than to use two commands. In WB 2+ you could specify both source objects on one command

copy MyFolder MyFolder.info dh0: all clone

or use patterns

copy MyFolder(|.info) dh0: all clone

but on 1.3 you can have only one source and patterns match only on files, not on directories.

2) an empty string corresponds to the current path. You have to surround it by quotation marks of course.

cd ram:
copy df0:MyFile ""

3) there is no practical way. You could try to find a third-party tool which can change icons in batch scripts. Could be difficult to find one which runs on 1.3.

amiga.org used to be just this forum. When AmigaKit bought it, the site was down for months, snd when it came back, the forum was moved to different url and the site was become more of a portal for various amigakit stuff. The whole process shun off quite a few people.

There was a months-long site outage a few years ago, during which a lot of people gave up on the site. It has never really gone back to how it was.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: A4000 PSU - KABOOM!!!!

Something to note here, which I wasn’t aware of until watch “Miketech” YouTube videos. The Glue used to hold certain components together after a time can harden up and become conductive. If you see any of that yellow glue on the circuit board. I would check with a multimeter or you may get another Kaboom! After you finished repairing.

Interesting. I'll have a look at the channel, too. No "yellow glue" that I can see. I will do more inspection before I power up again. I should have all the parts in a week or two. I'll post what happens.
