Title: Hello World
Post by: DrDekker on April 06, 2006, 11:50:19 PM

Greetings to all!

I'm Dr Dekker.  I'm not a doctor but can be 'trusted' all the same.  Like many others, I'm an old Amigan, but new to Amiga.org.  I started my 'relationship' with the Amiga a long, long time ago.  First mig was an A500+, followed by an A1200 a couple of years later.  Around five years ago I added a vanilla A600 to my collection, and most recently another A600 (HD model) bought from a carboot sale for a fiver.

I'm currently interested in towerising the A1200, although I'll probably do one of the A600's first to see how things work out.  I've already built a PS2 mouse adapter (photo in the 'Images' library somewhere) which works brilliantly, and am about to build a PC keyboard adapter real soon.  Next on the list will be a scan doubler/flicker fixer to enable me to connect the mig to my 19" TFT.  Unfortunately, I don't have the electronic genius to design something myself, so I'll be depending on the resident experts for any solutions and guidance.  From what I've already seen and read in the forums, there's a fantastic amount of talent and knowledge to (hopefully) tap into.

That's it from me for now.

Hasta la vista.

Dr Dekker

It is Just Wrong to put an A600 in a tower................How about cutting a hole in it for a Laptop CDROM drive internally like I did! :-)

Im quite happy....though its not connected to the IDE port yet...............hope to replace it with a HDDVD Blue Ray Drive :-D  I want to be as up to date as possible..........I know someone in 2008 will create drivers :-)


In the Meantime those will still read CDROM, DVDROM and audio CD etc...
Although I will be satisfied with a plain DVDROM drive

Working on USB holes now :-)

Once all holes are in place.............its Spray Paint time!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Until I stumbled across this website, I thought the Amiga had slipped away into oblivion.  I'm soooooo glad I was soooooo wrong.  This is without doubt the best Amiga website ever.

@Gav

Nope!  Read again.......he wants to tower his A1200 but is thinking of testing one of the A600's first to see how that works out :-P

I guess Im saying I hope its not permanent :-)
Im still working on My A600 and actually considering adding a second internal CDROM drive by removing the Floppy...........................Why You ask?    I will let everyone know when I am finished......including Painting this little sucker..............I have waited too long for this.
