@sir_inferno,

Don't you lick all your PCBs before you start soldering? :lol:

Tastes like Commodore chicken lips!    :crazy:

Yeah, didn't you know that Saliva works better than Solder flux ?

If someone REALLY knows a factory in the US, Tawian, or wherever that they prefer and know that can handle this kind of work, send me the info. I have no problems swithcing factories if it makes sense.

I am sure there are, I know of one or two here in Australia that do it, but the difference being, you will probably pay 10 times the price.

I enquired about getting a run of Minimig PCB's done here in Australia when I was not sure what was happening with my Nusim boards.

The cheapest I could get, was like AU$250 for a run of 10, instead of about $US50 from a chinese run.

You can get things done back in the more civilised countries, it just costs more.  Why do companies send their production to China and india ?, something called "50c a day".

anyway, Crom, quit playing Elfmania

Maybe you should also look at the faults of your own country?
USA still tortures people, USA still have death penality, USA still has a huge deal of homeless people, USA invades countries for oil.
USA is also losing more and more freedom in the name of so called terrorism.
I am sure 99% of all x86 pcs has at least some components made in China.

I know this is off topic, but millions of people in the USA go about their daily life, oblivious to the fact that, there are *STILL* area's of New Orleans that are deserted and uninhabited because of the devastation of Katrina.

Just look at the American Road Trip that Topgear did last year.

Getting closer here, vendor had truoble securing all parts this is supposedly resolved. WE shall see.

By the way. Have a 2.4 gig amiga sofware collection and I ran Deluxe Paint 3 on the Minimig, worked quite nicely, only thing no way to save my work...LOL! Did a 60 second 320X400 64 color anim.

I thought the OCS used the non Extra Half Brite denise?

Why couldn't you save off ?, surely you can save off to where you loaded Dpaint from ?  It should show up as a normal drive ?

Do you have "Menace"?  I loved that sidesways scroller and the music was great.  Please test it if you have it and let me know if it works.  Would "Xenon 2 - Megablast" work on OCS?

Dennis is adding Multiple ADF support, I know that for DEFINITE.

I didn't think that would be a problem.  I assumed that there was something in place to make the Amiga think that the ADF selected was a real floppy (df0), so it's not the "Amiga" side of the logic that's the problem, but rather the software that "emulates" a "floppy" on the MMC which needs to be expanded to support a write function.  Correct?   :-?

Well, i am not an authority in this field, but the kickstart rom's already recognize an ADF being inserted, and will auto boot from the ADF, if the boot block on the ADF allows it, so it definitely sounds like code on the pic job.  What needs to be investigated, is that the current code, is around 37KB already, is there enough room left on the PIC ?
