I have hacked my stock Amiga 500 running Workbench 1.2 to interface with a human brain through the clock-port.  Quite easy actually, considering the miracle of the clock port design.  Only takes about $5 in parts from any kitchen supply store and a bottlecap. Unlimited RAM and file storage.

Sorry, but it's a secret so I'm not telling anyone how to make it.  ;-)

I tried it with my A1200 and a special interface I wired to my left ear. I now too have unlimited Ram (not stictly true as it's limited to the capacity of my brain, which although very large is not quite unlimited) but the trouble is I can no longer get stereo sound out of my amiga, and I've got earache! BTW what type of bottlecap did you use?


I used a bottlecap from a 1973 stubby bottle of "Orange Crush".  I have found this to be the best solution for this hack.  I tried a 1974 cap, but I couldn't access all my screen-modes.  Diet-orange crush bottle caps work but I get occasional GURUs this way.  I think it has something to do with the artificial sweetener residue.

As for your loss of stereo problem.  I have overcome that.  My solution was to use someone else's brain (oops, I wasn't supposed to tell you that).  :-P
