For some reason, I thought you had to remove the A603 in order to use the  Indivision ECS.

It's good to hear that I can keep my RAM in and use this video board!

Not a problem, I ordered one of these to use instead:

I'm considering "carefully" cutting a spot in my case to fit a female USB plug, then desoldering the USB connector from the HCX board, and in it's place run wires to the plug that will attach to the Amiga casing.

This way, I should, in theory be able to relocate the HCX Board to an out of the way location inside the 600. My hard drive will be a CF card, so it does not take up much room itself, and I should be good.

In the end I should have an A600 with a place to plug in a USB cable that will network to the PC, which I will use to load ADF files, not unlike APE and the SIO2PC for the Atari 8-bit line of computers. :)

Nice!!!

Is that a Numeric Keypad and USB Joypad hooked up to your 600?!

I saw that, but am in a hurry to get my A600 up and running. I will probably order one of those as well in a couple weeks after I finish ordering more upgrades for my Atari 8-bits. :)

There have to be some RAM hacks on Aminet somewhere. I'm pretty sure I'd seen some before.

Personally I'd like to see more hacks that involve a good old fashioned soldering job, instead of relying upon the expansion ports for everything. It's been great fun with my Atari 8-bits!

Amiga princess, funny. :)

I did forget to mention (and we can thank the Amiga Princess that I even know about this), is that I recently contacted Zetr0, and he is currently asking that people show interest in a second run of 100 A608 boards. These boards will have the 8Mb of RAM that we are hungry for.

You can sign up on the A608 forums, and show your interest here:

http://www.guildserver.co.uk/forums/AmiDev/index.php


Now just imagine that coupled with an 8Mb PCMCIA card and 2Mb of GFX RAM!

I'd be in OctaMED heaven!

rkauer: Aghh, you are talking about the A608. Alright, yes, I'm on the forums eagerly awaiting Zetr0's announcement. :)
