Title: Epsilon's Classic Amiga Blog
Post by: Epsilon_ on May 08, 2014, 01:08:50 AM
Hi All,

For those here who don't also follow AW.net forums, I have been working on an upgrade of an Amiga 600, detailed in my new Classic Amiga blog. There has been a lot of work done, especially in the past week or so, and plenty of photos and blog posts!

I was inspired by the work of many people in various forums who upgraded their Amiga 600 computers and decided to give it another go myself and detail the process.

Note that I still run and regularly update my AmigaOne X1000 Blog too, but I wanted separate Classic Amiga content from it, since it is not directly related to AmigaOne X1000.

The link to the new blog is here:

The AmigaOne X1000 blog is here:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au

I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Catcha,
Epsilon

Hey man your blog is one of my favorite things in amiga land. Very helpful and fun to read. I have a question about the Orinico Gold PCMCIA card and WPA. Did you have to flash the card with a pc for the prism2 driver to work with WPA? I have a netgear MA411 card that I read needs to be flashed for WPA. In your tutorial with your card I didnt see anything about firmware flashing.

Thanks for your kind words!

Regarding the Orinoco I didn't need to flash it at all - it worked out of the box. I believe the Agere chipsets are ok, it's the Intersil chipset cards that new firmware upgrading on a PC first to support WPA/WPA2.

Hi All,

I have written a number of new blog entries covering the build of my Amiga 600, expansions, AmigaOS builds and configurations. Address is still here: http://classicamiga.blogspot.com.au/  

Most recently, I have written parts 1 and part 2 of my multi-part blog entry covering the installation of AmigaOS3.1 on CF Card on my Amiga 600 from the ground up.

Links are here:

http://classicamiga.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/amiga-600-cf-amigaos-setup-part-2.html

I hope you enjoy it - this current set of blog entries took quite a while to do! More parts to come! :-)

Hi All,

I have written a number of new blog entries in August covering the build of my Amiga 600, CDTV, AmigaOS4.1 Classic build on WinUAE Beta 12 and other configurations. Address is still here: http://classicamiga.blogspot.com.au/

Most recently, I have written parts 1 to 3 of my multi-part blog entry covering the installation of AmigaOS4.1 Classic on WinUAE under Windows.

Links are here:

I hope you enjoy it - this current set of blog entries in August took quite a while to do!

More parts of the Amiga 600 build (4 parts to date on the blog) still to come! :-)

Awesome rightup as usual on WINUAE and os4. Just fyi you can extract a real A4000 rom if you and amiga 4000. Yes Amiga forever comes with the rom but just saying of exsisting users there is a proggy on aminet that extracts roms from real amigas.

Hi All,

I have updated the Classic Amiga blog with two entries  looking at running AmigaOS4.1 Classic on FS-UAE 2.5.18dev and later  2.5.19slirp development versions on MAC OS X.

Links are here:

http://classicamiga.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/amigaos-41-classic-with-fs-uae.html (http://classicamiga.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/amigaos-41-classic-with-fs-uae.html)

For  those going to AmiWest this year I will be bringing this Macbook setup  with me if you want to take a look - a few people have already asked me  to run a short session at AmiWest on how to set this up for them (http://amigaworld.net/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Hope you enjoy it.

Hi All,

After feedback from Amiga people at AmiWest 2014  regarding having two separate Amiga blogs, I have decided to maintain  one Amiga blog moving forward covering all Amiga related topics, Next  Generation and Classic Amiga.

To this end I have already migrated all the Classic Amiga blog entries (and comments, etc) to the main Amiga X1000 blog.

Please use the Amiga X1000 Blog from now on as no further blog entries will be posted on this Classic Amiga blog.

The single address to go to is:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au (http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au)

The Classic Amiga Blog will be permanently deleted in a few weeks to allow people a bit of time to adjust bookmarks, etc.

Thanks,  and sorry for the confusion with maintaining two separate Amiga blogs  to follow this year - this will now stop with just one blog to go to  now!
