Hallo everybody, from Freiburg, with an A500 ;-)
« on: October 20, 2005, 03:56:55 PM »
Hallo everybody !

Finally I decided to buy an A500, after dreaming years and more years over the machines I never had !.

I know that probably an A1200 would had been a better choice, but I want it just for fun, to learn a bit, and to modify it a bit, due to my electronics background. Let's see what can be done... there is a lot of Amiga sites that don't exist anymore. I hope it is not that late.

Greetings... btw, I'm doing my phd in Physical Organic Chemistry !

edit: syntax corrections
2x A500 1MB ;-)
1x A600
3x PCs
1x Gf  :crazy:

Thanks for the warm welcome !

The first mod will be the DB-23 to Scart, to see any colors...
Igot a couple of DB-23 in a "Mac II emulation" dongle, without the roms... is quite interesting piece of hw... I'm wondering if that can act as another floppy on its own... has a couple of 74LS393 besides the rom sockets... I have to make a schematic.

After that, I'll add 2 megs of Fast RAM, using one of the circuits from aminet/hacks.

btw, I was wondering if the 68k can be run asyncronously with regard to the main 7MHz clock... I'll have to test it. As I don't know if I'll be able to get a 68hc000... I got a 68010P10... with an inverter and a 10MHz clock... I can get a bit more power...

lte's see  :roll:
