I hope you can give me some advice...
 I have an A1200 with a BLIZZARD 123050MHZ and a PC power supply modified for Commodore.
 I was doing some tests by restarting the A1200 several times and at a certain point, while it was restarting I was busy with something else, I smelled a very faint burning smell without smoke and a black screen....
 I quickly turned it off.
When restarted, the A1200 shows a yellow screen and the power LED flashes 9 times, then a black screen, and restarts.
The BLIZZARD remains cold, even the coprocessor remains cold. I tried changing the position of the BLIZZARD jumper but nothing.
 I removed the RAM, the coprocessor, the CPU, nothing...
the CPU/PROCESSOR and various integrated circuits remain cool
what could it be?

So does the amiga boot without Blizzard?
If so, then yes, it will be toast.

I take it this is where I post about "Updater" not working in Amibench ?

I click continue and I get a "could not log in" error.  My credentials work on the website and everywhere else.

It should have been removed. As thats not an updater as yet.
Only ever update from the GS/NG system menu.

Hello everyone, my name is Marco and I'm from Rome (Italy), let me introduce myself.....
Since I was a child I have been passionate about computers but at home I had no money... when I started earning some money I bought myself the A500/600/1200 and obviously there are and are problems....

I hope to have a good time and become your friend.

No software, no hard drive just a floppy drive.

It works, the green ligh is on and the fans also work.

Would I regret selling it? I don't you is it any more. It was bought in the 90s, when I was a kid, used with floppy disk games for few years. Now it catches the dust.

This is the inside. There is no hard drive only cd room and floppy drive.

A600GS & A1200NG / A1200NG- tinkering
« Last post by asm1 on November 09, 2025, 01:17:32 PM »
While waiting for Mr @F0LLETT 's bosses to respond to my request RE CPU boost code. I poked about a bit and did "things".

I take no responsibility if you mess your card or system up. Back up beforehand, take an image, don't use the "backup restore" option.  "Win32DiskImager" or something similar to take a complete image of your SD card. Outside the Opi

Now I'm no linux expert but the Image on the orange Pi is reasonably straightforward.  The entry for the hostname is in /etc/hostname.text (woohoo)

It has one line thus:

a600gs

Change this to whatever you like.

 Save it and shove the card back into your machine. I used my linux mint install to do this because windows wont read the drive naively...I don't trust windows and It reduces the risk of corruption (I've screwed up enough SD cards in windows messing around).

Unlike Raspberry pi images, the Opi seems to be a single image rather than a "boot partition" and then system....  good o.

To install a bigger SD (fnarr!) I imaged my 64GB card and then wrote said image to my newly acquired 128GB card using Win32diskimager.  The 64 GB card will now be kept as backup.

Again, because I'm wary of windows misbehaving,  I did all my changes to the partitions in Linux mint. Windows says it cant read the card anyway.  Good, Ignorance is bliss.

  GParted very helpfully allowed me to stretch the 64GB image to make use of the extra space. Save, done.  Shove back in A1200NG or A600GS whatever and boot.

Usual Caveats apply:

1)I'm not amigakit, nor do I speak for them.
2)This worked for me.  If you diddle and break something, absolutely on you not me. I'm no linux expert which is why I've delved no deeper than described.

3) I hope this doesn't annoy AK lol.
4)  Aside from the partition change, we  may find that any changes to hostname.text may revert at next firmware/update, thus may need to be reapplied.

You did back-up before fiddling about with files and partitions didn't you ????

Happy National Cappuccino Day, C= and Ami comrades!
     The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, Nov. 15, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

Panera Bread Restaurant
19662 Nordhoff Street
Northridge, California
(818) 407-9400

     For discussion we celebrate the club being 20 years old! Who wants cake?! ;) We'll talk about the recent Amiwest Show and the announcements made there.'
     In hardware/software, Tom M. might be coming all the way from Las Vegas in order to show us a classic Amiga video digitizer. The AmigaOne A1222+ returns, now with Final Edition update 3 and with more software from OS4Depot.com. Also the Ultimate 64 returns, also firmware-updated and having the latest game software and a new text editor.
     If you have any software and/or hardware that you'd like us to see, bring it along!

          Writing from Seattle, Washington,
