My A500 "project" pics, details, build log?

[AmmoJammo]

got fastmemfirst in your startup sequence?

[AmmoJammo]

That's not a valid command in WB3.1

that's why you copy it from the WB1.3 disc... I was suggesting it to Lurch anyway, as he seems to be running out of chip ram.

It would seem that my HDD/SCSI controller is incredibly slow!

[AmmoJammo]

Sysinfo gives me totally nonsense results for SCSI speed... someone suggested I use this:

http://aminet.net/package/util/moni/RSCP

Which gives considerably more realistic results.

[AmmoJammo]

what do folks use for stress testing chip & fast ram?

I play games... then when it crashes, I don't know why :smack:

P.S. I have 900+k of chip memory spare once WB has loaded
I am however lacking fast memory... :/

[AmmoJammo]

Here are my results, a bit slower and not surprisingly I have no spare CPU (one of the reasons SCSI is so much better than IDE)!

Thats gotta be unbearably slow!?!

I did overclock my SCSI controller as mentioned in another thread
edit: dont forget, I have a 36Mhz CPU.. :p

Found these photos while looking through boxes of "stuff" I have stored in the basement...

Its my brother in both pics, few years apart

Star LC-100 printer, Max Respect!

Ah, really? lol

These pics aren't really from the Amiga Era, my parents could never afford anything brand new...

The A1200 pic was taken in 1999, while the A500 pic might be 3 years earlier?

And  yes, that is an A2000... had a memory expansion card (maybe 2 megs?) as  well as a 240meg HDD, and of course the CD Rom drive

@AJ mate I now have a spare fully working rev5 mobo that you might be interested in for your 2nd a500, it has a 1.2 ks rom and ran perfectly when I tested it (includes top and bottom sheilds).

SOLD!

Thanks Derek!

Been playing with the Laser a bit new radiator, which has resulted in needing a new fan... dont ask :/

[AmmoJammo]

was always fun to drive, but now I'm trying to get the air con working...

issue is, I've moved the radiator to the middle, its normally offset to the passenger side, which means the AC compressor doesn't clear the lower radiator hose...

combined with the fact that the top radiator outlet snapped off, it doesn't really help...

so, new, thicker radiator, twice the thickness of the stock one, but then the radiator fan doesn't fit...

Its a 5 door 1989 KE Ford Laser.
Was a carby engine, but its had a transplant from (I believe) a Jap spec BF Mazda Familia.
Same engine as the locally sold Ford TX3, but the ecu should be setup for better fuel than what we had in Australia in 1989, so it's meant to do 110kw stock, compared to 100kw for the aussie version.

Has the Red paint bleached from that hot sun of yours ? looks well tidy in the engine bay

looks pretty red in the first pic I posted in this thread :p

That's all well and good but how many Mips does it do? ;-)

over 9000!

[AmmoJammo]

It hasn't..

looked like this when I got it, and its almost faded back to the same point..

[AmmoJammo]

So what's going on in this thread then?

1989 is going on...
