This is awesome. It hasn't populated my A600GS yet. Will the SCUMMVM update be available for Sunday October 5th? Asking for a friend  ;) ;D

Recommended Amiga Dealers / Re: Alternatives to RetroPassion when it comes to cases?

I don't want to bash RetroPassion here in any way, I'm just a but frustrated. I bet he has a lot of satisfied customers though.

I placed my order there at the beginning of June, believing that the goods would be available. As it later turned out, however, the goods had only been ordered in China, and at some point in September, they announced on Facebook (!) that the pallet ordered in China was now at customs. After it was cleared, they said that shipping to end customers could now begin but would take weeks. When I inquired, I received a snide reply. It may be okay for RetroPassion to take someone's money and then not deliver for months, but I'm running out of patience.

Big thread about him over here:

Just to be aware he was banned over on Amibay for scalping from others and upping prices… Enough said…

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A1200NG- Power Computing 1.76MB Floppy Drive

I am assuming that the PCB (pictured)is what does the clever bit (making the drive function as an Amiga floppy AND providing connection via  cable to External Port).

This is what I was thinking. Never had that type of drive before. So not sure.

Is it a standard PC drive? have you tried it in Amiga as DF0:
As it may need modding to work as Amiga drive.

I can't at the moment.  No working Amiga.

I've had it working in an A1200 externally connected to the floppy port (before my Amiga tinkering stopped) . I am assuming that the PCB (pictured)is what does the clever bit (making the drive function as an Amiga floppy AND providing connection via  cable to External Port) I've no idea whether it is modified or not. I've seen reports saying not.

Which case did you buy? Because they only got the white, purple and black ones in stock a couple of weeks ago.

So not sent even though in stock? 🙄😔 Not a good advertisement. Message is clear….Stay clear of this seller..
