hello, can any one, explain, what A600 CLOCKPORT ADAPTER, can do???
-
The A1200 came with an extra internal expansion called the clockport which was originally intended to be used to house an extra 1mb of RAM (originally the A1200 was to have 1mb like the A600) and an internal clock, thus why it is called the 'clock'port.
From what I can gather the pinouts here are particularly cool as they can do more than what was possibly originally intended.
The clockport can be used to connect brilliantly fantastic expansions like extra fast alternative ports, expanded capability stuff. All marvellous really.
While on the subject....oh i'll start another thread.

for exemple, to connect a USB ports???

Yup, you can buy the 'Subway' unit for around £55 (GBP) which has 2 usb2 compatible ports (no high speed mode too fast for the classic amiga to handle).
Other bits that can be bought are the 'Delfina' sound card, Catweasel which make the amiga compatible with every shape and form of floppy disk ever produced, FastATA for fast IDE ATA ports, Silversurfer/Twister for fast Serial ports.
There is no doubt there are more expansions for it and im sure other amigans will add these.
Isn't there one for fast parallel ports?

Just keep in Mind, you may need a 68030 processor in your A600 if you want to read certain USB devices and even use them.......so they say.
I have a Clockport adaptor in my A600 and an internal DVD/CDRW...I would at least just want to use the USB card (if I get one) to just use those USB lamps to light up my A600.............which by the way.is for sale!
Its a black A600 with Clockport adptor, internal DVD/CDRW (not hooked up to the IDE yet) 4gig HD, 2mb ChipRAM (and I may include a 2gig PCMCIA card) and Mr Myza Adaptor to use PC mice and trackballs......and a Sony PSone LCD screen.............all painted black!

The Trackball is not pictured but included.
The keyboard is having problems for some reaon..I cant read the left side keys of the keyboard. also I need to spray it with a Clear matte finish for everything to stay together..but I dont have time.
