Hi,
Although, I am getting conflicting Amiga analog signals responses I am filtering through the data. Letting the mud settles seems to help though
He he
Thank you all for your prompt aid and courtesy. I am a real novice (as you already figured it out) and I always dreampt of having an Amiga in my room; not in 2004
My first computer was a c-64 and I still adore her
I bought the A-500 to fullfill my old 12 year old dream desire. Should I get an A600 model instead?
I just wanted it to program the machine in C, Basic and play games like Ultima and such. I have the strong Intuition that the receptacle for the audio in the back of the 1080 is sort of offering a weak connection and not providing me a good contact. I connected two radio Shack RCA likes (red and white terminals) from the back of the computer (left and Right audio receptacles) then used the Y connector to connect it where is says AUDIO (white) in the monitor rear.
I don't know how or whether to use VIDEO (yellow) and CROMA (red) receptacles. I assume CROMA is for color and utilized to plug an external device. ??
What is the the MONO hole in the back of A500 used for? For a Monochrome monitor? The machine is connected to the monitor RGB input hole through an RGB cable.
yes, I adusted the button sound; although I am not sure which way the button volume increases or decreases the volume to the right or to the left?. Please bear in mind that I just bought this machine in Ebay and it lack hardware documentation.
The E, L and Space-Bar keys need hard tapping though. I disconnected the keyboard, used a vacuum cleaner ( boy that thing was filthy) and I added several drops of 123 oil in the keyboard and it seems to make a better contact specially for the L letter key (it was missing its onscreen printing ability).
I want to find me a keyboard replacement and solve this problem soon. :-?
The monitor flickers a lot. Is that normal for innon-interlaced mode?
I managed to test the machine with one of the games provided like MINE or something and it seems to work without flickering the image, but with no sound. I could not load the other games though.
I.e. Ultima game was missing its second disk, Populous game failed to load.
This A500 came with workbench 1.3 floppy and it reads like 888,000 free memory at booting time. Is this a 1 meg RAM machine? Do you think?
P.S Yes, I have at Home two pentium machines :)and I am not left behind with technology as you may think.
