I bought the Apollo 1260 @ 32 MB RAM @ 80 Mhz!!

You rang? :-)

I have some 100MHz crystals if you like to try one. I had no luck so far, mine just boot loops with no picture. But I haven't given up, going to try another PSU :-)

My CF Card died, I think it was my fastata that killed it so going back to a laptop HDD. Once I have that setup going to have to post some videos. :-)

[Lurch]

No problem, post on here and let me (us) know how you get on. Will add my story too perhaps?

Once I get my HDD setup can start posting about it :-)

Would highly recommend an Indivision, can't get over how good it looks on an LCD.

Big screen goodness.

Have had no issues with the second version of the Indi AGA. There is no config tool for it but that isn't a big issue.

Looks fantastic, very clear. Also noted is that colours have more pop, more vibrant.

Couldn't live without it now that I've had one. Have it connected with my 24" Dell LCD and workbench looks amazing.

No issues with games either, I can see more detail in most. Many hours spent playing naughty ones and super methane brothers :-)

An interesting item about DLP vs LCD... http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv.html

Boom runs on my ACA 1231 okay.. it's playable but not as smooth as with the 060.

The Indy Mrk2 does have it's problems (which hopefully will be fixed before we all die of old age) but it can produce a fantastic output, it basically looks like an RTG card.

Looking good! It does look very much like an RTG card, my only issue with it is that the Indi ECS has the RTG drivers which I used with Doom.

The mk2 also operates in a similar way as the indi ecs so hoping that someone out there will have a go at making the RTG mode work :-(

DLP is an obsolete technology these days. Not sure what LCD's you've been using but that's not the case anymore, perhaps on older LCD's but technology has moved on since DLP was around.

There are also many different styles of LCD, LED and even OLED. All far better, then there's plasma which use to have better blacks than LCD's but not these days.

Both are as good as each other with current tech.

With 4k and 8k screens on the way time to drop the DLP and move on. But anyway this is OT so back to 060 @ 80MHz awesomeness :-)

[Lurch]

Hmm, you might as well look at towering it then. Wouldn't look good but then it will work :-)

[Lurch]

Wont be able to boot into Workbench without the apollo libs. You'll find those in the files I emailed you.

Easiest way is to set it all up under WinUAE using 030 settings then copy the libs over and away you go from there.

[Lurch]

Yes, all I do however is use a folder on the PC as my drive then format the cfcard/hdd that's going into the amiga and copy straight from the folder to the cfcard/hdd under WinUAE.

http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/pfs3aio PFS3AIO is the way to go.

Here is a good read/howto - http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64949

You'll need to partition the drive on it's own, but follow the guide above.

Have full throttle running really smooth. It does hit the HDD hard though so needs fast access to it.

I have it running through a fastata so not sure what setup you are using?

[Lurch]

Hey Lurch I have a little problem. When I ran AmigaSYSAGA with OS 3.5 which prevented the HDtools from working my Amiga runs 100% As soon as I upgraded to OS 3.9 and all the icons returned into their chiney beauty and HDTools works again and my last partition which is 15 GB showed again where before it was not visible after booting in my AmigaSYSAGA in 30 seconds to 40 seconds the screen turns gray and I have to reboot the Amiga. Ones I reboot it (with software failure message) it returns back again to normal and after 30 to 40 seconds the screen turns gray again. I do know it have to do with driver issue or something resident in memory that is causing this conflict due to version incompatibility or what not. What advice do you have in this regard?

Are you sure you have the apollo libraries? Also make sure to remove the bliz kick line, I think it was AmigaSYS that adds that :-)

[Lurch]

P.S "Sometimes when it happens again instead of being gray screen, it goes lines of green screen dancing around as the power LED flashes, then becomes full green screen then reboots....after hitting gray. Oh, this does not happen only except if I am in workbench, but if I am playing games it is ok. Oh one more essential update, now it no longer waited 3 minutes it toke less than 5 seconds before repeating the symptoms again."

Then this leaves three things.

1) PSU - Not using the standard one? You'll need a better PSU, I'm using a 350W ATX.

2) Timing fixes - I had mine done through Amigakit.

3) Capacitors - One or more might be at fault, I had mine replaced through Amigakit.

Just another thing, remove everything from the workbench startup folder :-)
