Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: DKB Cobra 030@28 - any good?
« Last post by soyeb on February 25, 2026, 12:02:29 AM »
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.

Amiga Magazines / Reminder: Amiga38 DVD released
« Last post by AndreasM on February 24, 2026, 02:35:08 PM »
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.

Order Amiga38 DVD now: https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?products_id=474
Order Amiga37 & 38 DVD Bundle now: https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?products_id=475
Order Amiga Event Merchandising now: https://www.amigashop.org/index.php?cPath=53

The Amiga38 DVDs release is actually two (2) pressed data DVD9 discs with the following content:

* Amiga38 Documentary
* Interview with Dave Haynie (Amiga34)
* Amiga38 Panel AEON - Trevor Dickinson
* Amiga38 Panel Demoscene - Andre Kudra
* Amiga38 Panel - AmigaOS 3.2 - Camilla Boemann
* Amiga38 Panel Pistorm - Michael Schulz
* Audio Interview with Dave Haynie (Amiga34)
* Audio Interview with Markus (Amiga34)

Please note: These are data DVDs with video files.

Almost all of the proceeds go to the organiser of the Amiga Event, in order to support the financing of future events more easily.
The same applies to the Amiga 40 event merchandise.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: AmiBrowser & broken JavaScript keyboard events
« Last post by broadblues on February 24, 2026, 11:35:19 AM »
OK added a extra layer of debug:

  END doesn't report at all

Doesn't generate a RawKey event at all so that will be why.

    PageUp reports as ScrollLock, too
    PageDown doesn't report at all

I have this the other way round PAGEDOWN generates RawKey 95 (ie it's mapped to scroll lock AKA known as HELP in amiga keyboard context on OS4 atleast) PAGEUP emits no event

    ScrollLock doesn't report at all

Doesn't emit a rawkey event.

    PRINT doesn't report at all

Also no RawKey event,


F11 Is mapped to RawKey 13 (backslash)

HOME and INSERT are mapped to 102 103 ie Left and Rght Amiga.


So these "errors"  the result of the default keyboard emulation.

```
    NumPad9 reports as NumPad8        -  SHOULD BE IN NEXT RELEASE FIXED REVERSED CODE order in table
    NumPad8 reports as ScrollLock        - FIXED ditto
...

```
    F11 reports as Backslash                  - my test in cefclient shows correct hardware code in table,
    INSERT reports as MetaLeft             - my test in cefclient shows correct hardware code in table,
    HOME reports as MetaRight             -  my test in cefclient shows correct hardware code in table,
    END doesn't report at all
    PageUp reports as ScrollLock, too
    PageDown doesn't report at all
    ScrollLock doesn't report at all
    PRINT doesn't report at all
```

These are  more complex the codes in the table are correct based on the key events generated on the linux side, it may be there is some translation happening between the linux keyboard and the rawkey emitted inside the emulation.

My table originally mapped RawKeys (sent by MKShare from AmigaOS4) to linux uinput events, it's 99% accurate insofar as the correct key events occure on the linux side when an amigaos4 key is pressed. So I filled in the entries in reverse to create the newtranslation of rawkey to lowlevl hardware key.

I'll  have to add a extra debug layer to see what RawKey I get inside the AmiBench layer. Perhaps these spacial keys have been traslated by AmiBerry to look more like an amiga keyboard.

```
    CapsLock doesn't seem to invoke "OnKeyDown" and "OnKeyUp" but with every keypress, it switches between the two (while "OnKeyPress" being with "OnKeyDown")
```
I'll bet RawKey events are only being created on transitions of the key state here as it;s a locking key.. tempted to blame input device for that one (without hard evidence :-))

```
ESC closes the browser, even if event.preventDefault() is called (but I guess that's a bit of another issue)
```

This key is intercepted by MUI before it can be sent to the browser engine, it may r may not be possible to listen for that javascript call later on.

After fitting a D.K. Video Crisper RGB video buffer, which I hear is 15khz only; to the RGB port of my A1200 OS 3.9, before a Scandex doubler, I have no video signal; HDD activity stops, about when WB is loaded in startup.

I am using an external Scandex doubler to TFT monitor for both CGA and VGA modes. I tried a second Scandex and no change.

The Early boot menu shows but invisible mouse pointer. Floppy boot is the same.

From this thread: https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=73237.0 I followed Oldsmobile Mikes' suggestion of swapping the ROM's for new ones and Accelerator card and PSU. Also disconnected mouse and Joystick. No Change unfortunately.  ???

Suggestions Welcome. TIA.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum!

That is a nice collection for sure! Please let us know how it goes with the 2500 and the monitor. The computer might have some neat upgrades under the hood. 8) And.. nice list of games there!

This should be largely fixed in the ext update.

Hey, this is excellent news!
I have now updated to the lastest version of AmiBrowser (46.38) and did some more testing. Here are the results:
  • NumPad9 reports as NumPad8
  • NumPad8 reports as ScrollLock
  • F11 reports as Backslash
  • INSERT reports as MetaLeft
  • HOME reports as MetaRight
  • END doesn't report at all
  • PageUp reports as ScrollLock, too
  • PageDown doesn't report at all
  • ScrollLock doesn't report at all
  • PRINT doesn't report at all
  • CapsLock doesn't seem to invoke "OnKeyDown" and "OnKeyUp" but with every keypress, it switches between the two (while "OnKeyPress" being with "OnKeyDown")
  • ESC closes the browser, even if event.preventDefault() is called (but I guess that's a bit of another issue)
When using a german keymap, some values for Z and Y are still reported switched, but not all. Let's take key Y (between T and U) as an example: It is correct, that "Code" always reports "KeyY", no matter the keymap of the OS, and this works correctly. But for "KeyChar" and "Key", all events should report a "Z" for a german keymap. Currently this works only for "Key" value of event "OnKeyPress" correctly, all other events still report a "Y".

I tested with two different keyboards, just to be sure. Both gave the same results.
Just as a sidenote: TAWS doesn't convert any keycodes back or forth. As this is not emulation but "simply" (haha) a web page.

Keep up the good work, just a few more little glitches to go! ;)

Cheers,
Michael

Congrats.  Have you tested the 2500? Might want to check the battery has been removed or replaced.
