Amiga User Group News / Next SCCAN meeting - Saturday, March 14, 2026

« Last post by RobertB on March 08, 2026, 02:20:14 AM »

Happy almost St. Patrick's Day, C= and Ami comrades!
The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, March 14, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

Panera Bread Restaurant
19662 Nordhoff Street
Northridge, California
(818) 407-9400

The big topic of discussion will be the April 25-26 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show at the Burbank VFW Hall, 1006 W. Magnolia in Burbank! Remember that our set-up day is on Friday, April 24. We'll be watching the 2 1/2 minute CLASS 2026 commercial for Youtube. If you have any further CLASS presentations or exhibits, tell about them at the meeting!
The Ultimate 64 returns, this time with firmware update 3.14d, and the A600GS returns with the Feb. 27 firmware update. The Ultimate 64 will be running some of the latest games; the A600GS will not only be running the latest software but also classic CAD programs. Just for good measure, I'll bring along the A1200 '060 running OS 3.9, AGS, and some games from The Other Group of Amigoids (TOGA, now called RELICS).
If you have any PET, VIC-20, C64/128, C16/Plus4, or Amiga software and/or hardware that you'd like us to see, bring it along!

Truly,
Robert Bernardo

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Will 68000-only demos run properly on PiStorm?

« Last post by kolla on March 07, 2026, 06:47:36 PM »

WHDLoad Wrapper uses a database of games and demos with known-to-work configurations of WHDLoad for Emu68, some configurations adjusting parameters of the Emu68 CPU emulation before launching the game/demo (and resetting them on exit, I presume.) You can also do such adjustments manually before starting games/demos, to improve compatibility when not using WHDLoad. With PiStorm you also have the option of usign Linux+Musashi as CPU emulator instead of Emu68, which in some (rare) cases can work better than Emu68. For exact compatibility, either keep real hardware around, or use full software emulator like WinUAE - no CPU accelerator ever targeted full compatibility with old picky software.

Anyone else got one of these?

No, but I have MiST (and Minimig, MiSTer, FleaFPGA and more) where I use the rx/tx pins for connectivity.

I am basically trying to get access to the exposed UART rx/tx pins to use with my SLIP modified ESP2866 board.

You don't say much about what the problem actually is or what you have tried.

Which TCP stack are you using? How have you set up the connection?
Have you tried communicating with the ESP2866 directly using a terminal emulator?

Neat. Kinda like FrogFind for searching on low end machines. My desk is being reorganized right now but I will certainly try it on my A500 with a V2 and IBrowse 3.0. Should be able to report back by the end of the weekend.

@david
Welcome to the forum

I have to say I like this sort of idea.

I have an Amiga 500 with a PiStorm, so I'll give this a whirl

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: A1200 CF2IDE / SD2IDE questions

« Last post by BozzerBigD on March 06, 2026, 10:17:57 AM »

@Rinusch

If it's just the SD2IDE adapter then it is fine. There are no jumpers so the issue comes when you want to switch it to slave and can't. It often can't see the slave device in this configuration either. CF card adapters are therefore better for 2 devices on one ide port/bus.

General chat about Amiga topics / Re: Miss 1200 FPGA MiST clone board

Yes I've got one! However, I don't know what these pins are or what you're trying to do with them. I thought I should reply to bring more attention to this board, though. As I bought it from eBay, instead of from 8bits4eva, they told me I wasn't entitled to any support, even after I offered to pay, though.

I bought the board pre mounted, installed in an A1200 case. It has two USB ports outside the case, but there are two others inside the case which I can't access.

It came with a Micro SD/TF card with the Minimig Core preinstalled, configured as a very fast A1200. Unfortunately, it only has Workbench 3 installed, so I want to upgrade this, as well as installing the RTG drivers.

I've been using it mainly to create artwork using DPaint V. I've recently bought a Wacom Bamboo Pen CTL-460 tablet which is compatible with it. It's recognised as a mouse and doesn't require a driver.
