Just wondering if anyone here has one of these graphics cards installed in their Amiga?
https://shop.mntre.com/products/zz9000-for-amiga-preorder

I have been eyeing one for a couple of years. What puts me off is the extra items it has, such as USB, which I understand STILL do not work for it. Is this project abandonware? In the sense that they still make it and sell, it but that they have not fulfilled the hardwares potential.

Views welcome!

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Can‘t format disks in workbench

Fumbled an old external drive with defunc controller into my real A1200 with Gotek, did format the disks in real WB 3.14. The A1200NG did recognize the preformated disks and ADFBlitzer did write disks without problems. Kind of a hassle, works though. Wish I could do all on one Amiga 😂

They’re good old DD. Tried to format old used disks.
Same there. It’s either the disk drive (while it boots disks without problem) or the emulated surrounding.

Can you boot a ATK disk and test the Drive?

The Memorex Disks known good? Tested on another drive etc.. are they HD ones? If so try covering the HD hole in the disk just incase.

Have bought new old stock disks and have had similar issues.

A600GS & A1200NG / Can‘t format disks in workbench

Hi together,

I’ve got a real A1200 disk drive mounted in my A1200NG.
Seems to work since I can boot inserted disks after loading a kick.
Same with Workbench 3.2: game disks mount correctly.

Problem: when I try to format a blank DD disk (new memorex pack) in workbench, it always says cylinder 0 can’t be formatted and stops. Tried several disks. Help
😁

The following software updates for the A600GS and  A1200NG have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system.  They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:

46.2.1367:

SystemV46:

AmiPDF NG 46.15:

A fast and feature rich PDF viewer for AmiBench / OS 3.x with the following features:
* Zune / MUI 68K GUI (compatible with OS 3.x)
* Fast PDF decoding and rendering via ArmPDFium library.
* Multiwindow support.
* X Y Scrolling with keyboard arrowkeys or scrollbars.
* Simple intuitive page navigation via toolbar / menu and keyboard arrow keys.
* Zoom gadget.
* Fast and simple search via main GUI, with support for backwards and forwards searching via menus and menu keyboard shortcuts (RAmiga F activate search. RAmiga A find next. RAmiga D find previous)
* Clickable internal link support.
* Clickable external URL support via OpenURL library.

DefIcons:

* def_PDF is now associated to PDF documents and opens AmiPDF application

AmiBrowser:
* Internal fix to improve interaction with AmiPDF.

A600GS/A1200NG: Add ArmPDFIum armlibrary to interface with libpdfium.so providing custom callbacks to invoke pdfium functionality from 68k space.

Damn that board looks well leaked. You should have led with pictures.

I don't think it's quite as bad as it initially looks, he did say "The green stuff on the PCB in pictures is solder mask applied with an artist brush", which you can see in the images.



Getting 0.1 ohm is not always, depending on meter, as you have to take into account the natral resistance of meter being used.

Yep, that would be the reason for my statement of "close to 0.1 Ohms", and not "exactly 0.1 Ohms displayed on the meter".  Of course the meter leads, probe contact surface, etc, all contain a low value of inherent resistance, which are added to the overall displayed measurement.  A good meter will have a 'delta' function to negate the ~0.2-0.5Ω typically seen across the meter probes.  Or you can simply touch the probes together, record the value seen, then subtract that value from the displayed in-circuit measurement to get something closer to the truth, though you'll struggle with the accuracy of most hobbyist/consumer instruments at this level of measurement; not that it's especially relevant in this case.

The exact conductivity of the track/via isn't important, as the digital signal is in the magnitude of mA or μA.  Suffice to say, if you measure continuity between contact areas of the same net (this is the name for a specific signal carried between one and more points on a PCB), and your multi-meter indicates something in the region of < 1Ω, then the conductive path on the PCB is working.

I have a Gotek floppy drive connected to a CD32 and 8MB of Fast RAM, so as soon as I manage to load the driver using LoadModule, I will be able to easily check for new versions

And i have been using Pobolycwm since the bulletin board days and as my first compuseve email adress in 1991

Mentioned it, as we are Welsh to, :).

Quote from: pobolycwm
And a message to the builders of this 600gs  I bloody love this system and although love this i am seriously considering the 1200nd next

Thankyou.
