Amiga-like Box
« on: August 05, 2003, 10:29:18 PM »
Hello people :) These days I am really thinking of bulding a PC which will work as an Amiga Like Box. Let me share my thought with you. I am gonna built a Computer based on 815 chipset, Celeron 533MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 1GB HD and ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics Card. It is gonna be an Amiga experiment. I have Amithlon and I have downloaded Aros. What you think that is gonna be the best emulation? I have also the idea to boot in Windows and load WinUAE ar Amiga In A Box and then Amiga is Real :) Thanx in advance :)

P.S. I want a machine stable with no Windows.....or Linux...like Amiga used to be. With internet, some applications and of course if it is possible access to my ADF disks...

Is there any compatibility between Aros and Amiga software? And WinUAE port to Aros? I think that Aros is under development..is it stable?

Edit : Thanx BillChase :) Yes it will be a nice project!

Hello Amigans:) My Amiga-like box is complete in a hardware way...ehmmm there are many things to do ;) I changed my hardware plans due to an accident. I was trying to install the cpu cooler (Celeron 533MHz with an Vantec 3000RPM ) to the Socket 370 and for God's shake I broke MSI's plastic clip of the socket. I have installed cpus over 1000 times....bad luck....I use Asus Socket 7 mainboard with ALi chipset (yes the one with 512KB cache----very old days) with a Pentium 100MHz (lol) a Matrox graphics card (AGP), 384MB SDRAM PC100, Quantum 2.5GB HD, Philips CD ROM 6x and a Chieftek 360W PSU. I use Amithlon and not AROS (dont know why....I love Amithlon) make a 2.5G partition and install Amiga OS 3.9 on it. The system is runnins smoothly with not very good response but....I have Amiga OS 3.9 on my Samsung 17" TFT 1024x768 resolution :) :) :) I will try internet and local networking and soon I will change the hardware with a Duron / Athlon XP and a KT333 mainboard. I am very happy with my Box...I painted and old Midi Tower Black and I i will install everything in it. I am looking for software for Amithlon..Is there any compatibility list? Aminet? UAE for Amithlon exists? Thanx for your help:)

i440BX does not offer 133MHz Official support - only 66 and 100MHz...of course it can handle 133MHZ plus plus FSB but your AGP and PCI buses are overclocked...Some BX boards keep PCI at 33MHz while FSB is set to 133MHZ which is a must if u don't want HD corruptions...Your AGP bus runs at 89MHz abit higher than 66MHz official speed...BUT almost every graphics card can cope with 89MHz AGP:)
