Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Amiga SCSI Benchmarks?

« Last post by zipper on November 25, 2025, 12:44:20 PM »

I think 30mb/sec was quite hard to get with CSPPC - my figures were between 22 - 26 IIRC. diid see some a bit higher but 30 can't remember. Well, somebody wrote here 2005:
CSMKIII and CSPPC offer theoretical maximum of 40MB/s transfer, for UW-SCSI. With a really good drive, I've managed to go slightly above 30MB/s.

@F0LLETT
The original buyer did this weeks ago and even gave all the information over the phone, but there's been no response. What now?

*Edit*
The original buyer sent another email today with all the important information.

I will have to check on that. Over the phone though, I remember no such phone call.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Amiga SCSI Benchmarks?

« Last post by jaesonk on November 25, 2025, 05:43:40 AM »

Hello,

I'm looking for an Amiga SCSI controller benchmark chart/list comparing speeds of various controllers (ZORRO and turbo-card). I posted a similar message a couple years ago, got some response, but not a lot. I thought I had a more comprehensive list, but can't find it now.

I've heard GVP TREX-II is one of the fastest, or the fastest, getting something like 30mb/sec, but I can't find an actual benchmark reference now. CSPPC with SCSI-III seems like it should be faster.

If there's comprehensive speed comparison list somewhere, let me know.

Thanks,
Jaeson

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS Updates

« Last post by amigakit on November 24, 2025, 04:39:59 PM »

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:

46.2.1312:

A600GS/A1200NG System:

* Add Restart from Saved State option to Pause menu: if saved states are available then a popup chooser with data and time of state allows choosing a state to restart from.

* The side bar menu now has a scoller if the screen mode is not tall enough to display the entire contents.

* Refactor the backup and restore system. The size of the data to be archived and available space on media is now calculated. If there is isnsuffient temporary storage on the sdcard the option to use the destination media for temporary storage will be offered.

ScummVM:

* Fix problem where toggling fullscreen on an off (via ALT ENTER) would render the ScummVM window unreachable.: Fix problem where toggling fullscreen on an off (via ALT ENTER) would render the ScummVM window unreachable.

* Update to latest build of ScummVMGUI

One option would be to use a Gotek drive either internal or external. I had this challenge with an A2000. My solution was to get a gotek and install it replacing DF0: (main floppy drive). https://www.amigakit.com/amiga-gotek-floppy-drive-emulator-grey-p-1284.html?aksid=aemcuud9uoelsli3islsvsj474&currency=GBP&aksid=aemcuud9uoelsli3islsvsj474 I could then download the .adf's and write them to a USB stick and used that to boot into WB3.1.

Good luck.

After 5 weeks and multiple ignored emails, I asked AmigaKit to cancel my order. I can get a Gotek here in the US, and I have parts to make up a battery setup, since it's identical to that on another retro computer I have and also planned to use the same Gotek on. At this point, I'm expecting AmigaKit to also ignore the cancel request and ship anyway!

Comments elsewhere I see about AmigaKit are less than stellar. I've since ordered from multiple retro vendors in the US and UK without problem. Uninspired introduction to the platform.

However, the Parceiro on my 1000 is exceptional. Highly recommend.

That sucks big time. Hope you manage to get it back.

I remember when my uncle had his A500 stolen in a break in. All he had left was the trap door, he had also peeled the warranty sticker and put it on trap door.
My father owned the only Computer shop in my home town at the time. So he told my father about it, and he told my uncle he had someone come in with a faulty A500, missing the trap door cover and warranty sticker peeled off. So he gave my father the trap door and the warranty sticker matched perfectly, so it was my uncles stolen A500.
Police got involved and were waiting for man to return, when he did they pounced,

. Happy ending, but mad how it all panned out.

After a quick check online it states the Value Edition of AF since AF 8 are likely to have ROM's with XOR encryption making the ROM file approx. 1kb larger eg 513kb rather than the standard 512kb. This is coupled with a rom.key in the ROM folder. There are 128kb and 256kb ROMs also that this would apply to.

It also states AF Plus Edition and Premium Edition since AF 8 do not have this encryption system and are unencrypted.

My AF 11 Premium downloadable package has unencrypted ROMs.

Interesting to know. So if people have Value Edition, they will have issues.
