A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Issue with my Amigakit Order [Fixed]
« Last post by X-death on February 26, 2026, 06:10:26 PM »
Hello,
Thank you very much for the update and clarification.
I appreciate your transparency and the hard work your team is putting into this project.
I am really looking forward to using the system and exploring whether I can do some development and creative work on this machine myself.
I have also read your private message,thank you for the update. I’ve set the title as fixed.

A600GS & A1200NG / AmiChess on AmiBench
« Last post by amigakit on February 26, 2026, 04:42:52 PM »
AmiChess has been recompiled with VBCC.  It has been bug fixed and now runs without problem on AmiBench.   The window layout has been reorganised.

Expect it in the Games drawer on the next free AmiBench update for your A600GS or the A1200 NG

Further. I tested the RGB port with a meter. +5v and +12v are present plus +3v on H-sync and +.9v on V-sync. According to AI this means the F1 and F2 resistors are ok.

I tested the D.K. Products Video Crisper RGB buffer for shorts and that's all ok too.

I've made use of the time out and imaged the CF card from the A1200 with Win32 Imager to use in WinUAE. Tested the image and the CF is still good.

As far as AI can suggest, a logic error in Lisa created by current mismatch can create the symptoms mentioned in OP.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: DKB Cobra 030@28 - any good?

Holy Thread resurrection Batman!  ;D

The one and only 030 classic accelerator was and still is the Phase 5 1230. 50mhz 030 upto 128MB RAM. Then buy and add a SCSI 2 add on with DMA and another 128MB RAM. Maprom functionality etc..

started with a 1202 around 2016 then a DKB Cobra 40Mhz card. Bought locally it was a good solid card with FPU. Luckily it was the updated rom version.

Around 2020 I was interested in the icomp ACA cards for their SYSInfo CPU and RAM performance. Mainly because that was the trend in forums at the time.

IDEFix scsi patch rapidly enhanced IDE = HDD CF transfer times and also the Cobra rom has a serious bottleneck in that department, giving around 800kbs IDE speed while ACA cards were 2.2Mbs up to 4.4Mbs with IDEFix. The IDEFix hardware shows even greater figures up to 6-8Mbs.

It's hype though and I was caught up in the culture of it.

  Yup..  20 yrs late too.   My first accelerator too although I first started with their DKB 1202 board.  (https://amiga.resource.cx/exp/dkb1202).  Simple memory, FPU and RTC upgrade.  Ahh those were the days.  8MB and you though you were a KING!

 FWIW I had nothing but good times with mine!  I had the accompanying Ferret SCSI board (https://amiga.resource.cx/exp/ferret) and it always worked GREAT! I used it with my external SCSI CD-ROM, Connor DAT drive (used AMI-Back, Diavolo and Quarterback) and a random SCSI flatbed or two.

  I seem to remember at some point having some technical issues, mailing it back to DKB, and corresponded with Dean Brown during the repair process.

20 years late, but you may still be interested.  The DKB Cobra 030 was my first accelerator.  I'm not sure if it was a 28MHz or 33MHz, but whichever it was, it worked well for me.  I later went through many other accelerators, but the DKB was the most reliable along with an Apollo 1240.

It took a while, but the Amiga 38 DVD has finally been released to coincide with the Amiga 40 anniversary.

We'd like to remind you about the Amiga 38 DVD, which is intended as a small token of support for the organizers of the Amiga event.

This is for anyone who missed the presentations or would like to watch them again at their leisure.

Furthermore, some remaining Amiga 40 event merchandise is still available at amigashop.org.
