Greetings from Italy!
« on: November 20, 2006, 08:55:29 AM »
Hi everybody!

Just subscribed Amiga.org hoping to find a bit more life than on the newsgroups, which unfortunately are, day after day, becaming like a desert :-(

I do own the following Amigas: A600, A1200, A4000T, A500 and an A500+ motherboard for which I built a Zorro II + CPU slot expansion board a couple of years ago.

Now I am trying to get information about software for building a custom "3.9" ROM to be burned into EPROMs rather than having to buy one of those expensive Kickflash adapters.

Ciao!

expensive? a kickflash is ~35eur...


Well, yes, I bought pin compatible EPROMs for much less and so I find that board expensive, plus it wastes a slot :-)

so you have the eeprom writer too? that is not that cheap...


Bought an "ancient" one on eBay a couple of years ago for about 60 euro, it is very useful to me. It is PC-based and I use it on my A4000T thanks to an A2286 bridgeboard ;-)

Nice collection of Amigas; do you have the original Commodore 4000T?


No it is an Amiga Technologies one. Unfortunately it is not perfect, since the onboard Fast RAM isn't seen. I had RAMSEY replaced but it didn't solve the problem :-(

I have an Apollo 4060 turbo board on it, with 64 MB of memory,  because since some time it doesn't work fine with 128 MN anymore :boohoo:

Thank you guys!

While listing my Amigas, I forgot what I think is the most interesting one, the CDTV equipped with a rare SCSI controller :-)
