General chat about Amiga topics / Commodore/Amiga at the Fresno State Univ Science Carnivale
« Last post by RobertB on February 19, 2026, 12:28:22 AM »
Greetings, everyone!
      I just got confirmation of this yesterday.  Our hands-on exhibit has been approved for the Feb. 28 Science Carnivale at California State University Fresno, College of Science and Mathematics.  We will be displaying Commodore, Amiga, and other computers at our table, Classic Fresno Area Computers! (CFAC!).
      Here are the facts:

Date: February 28, 2026

Time: 12 noon to 2:30 pm

Location: Science II Courtyard (northern end of California State University campus at the Science II buildings, N. Barstow and E. Maple Aves., Fresno, California, USA)

     Though it's not a lengthy event, we'll squeeze as many computers as we can at our table - VIC-20, Ultimate 64, classic Amiga, AmigaOne A1222+, and others (Tandy, Atari).
     If you are in the Fresno area, come and visit the Science Carnivale.  Admission and parking are free.

          Truly,

Other Operating Systems / Re: Alternative OS vs. Modern High-Speed Networking - What’s the secret?
« Last post by ncafferkey on February 18, 2026, 07:42:03 PM »
Yes, the complexity of modern hardware makes it hard to keep up. For example, early wireless cards did a lot of the work in firmware, while modern cards mostly require much more to be done by the driver, including setting up low-level radio registers. There can also be dozens of variants of radio chips used within the same wireless chipset family, which each require different register settings. Additional support is also needed from the OS to configure encryption, negotiate settings with the router etc.

However, I thought Haiku had implemented a compatibility layer to allow easy porting of Linux wireless drivers. But maybe that code is out of date now and hasn't kept pace with changes in the Linux kernel.

It's been a long time, but I swapped the CIA-chips and unseated Gary, which seem to be important for the floppy, without any change. In workbench the floppies register as "DF0: ????" Would it make sense to unseat the rest as well? Try another floppy cable? Drive head clean?

Yes, it would. First thing I do with any A500 issue.

A600GS & A1200NG / A1200NG Boost Kit install guide
« Last post by J-Golden on February 18, 2026, 04:30:27 AM »
Just as the subject says.  I ordered it and it came in, but there are no instructions on how to install it.  I put the heat sync in in a way that I think is correct, but it pushes up against the three-pin header next to the Wi-Fi antenna and keeps that corner from seating all the way.

The way I installed it is:

Nut
washer
board
washer
heat sync
screw head

Any help would be much appreciated.  Pictures of it assembled doubly so.

Thanks all!

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS Updates

Tried all afternoon but haven't been able to get the update downloaded. Download stalls on the second file and never recovers.
I checked my intwrnet connection and the speed test say its fast.  I'll give a shot tomorrow and see if the transatlantic connection has improved.

Update: Today went great...problem solved
