> What's the longest period your Amiga has been powered on? Only soft resets count. I'd really prefer real uptime as a guide, but with 7 fans, some always fail over time, the yearly dust-out and the odd power outage, it seems difficult to pass a 1 year uptime period. Box has basically been on 24/7/365 since I bought it. Eagle shut down their amiga sales shortly after. The original psu failing was responsible for the longest downtime, I believe. I recall the MiamiDX gui byte counter always showing ***, because it overruns somewhere past 127GB. Current harddrive has been spinning about 11+ years total, downtime subtracted, and at 10.000rpm that calculates to an astromical amount of revolutions. Current uptime, a bit short due to getting a larger ups, is since 31-Okt-2014 Roadshow stats: Number of bytes received = 88697836783 Number of bytes sent = 2072178455 Eagle 4000TE/ppc/piv/deneb/256MB+/etc/etc -omgas
I'm asking this out of curiosity really, but how often did it crash / require soft resets?
I wonder if TLSF mem or PoolMem can greatly increase the amount of uptime here? I've always used PoolMem and continue to do so, despite even Thomas Richter himself saying that we should all use TLSF mem (apologies if you never said any such thing Thomas).
About three years ago I did forget to turn off my A1200 (heavily expanded) and I had left a box or something on top of the brick power supply, totally blocking the vents. Well I was annoyed with myself anyway for leaving my 060 Amiga on going unused (around 4 or 5 hours IIRC). But, the standard brick supply got a tad warm to say the least. It survived though, and I still use it for some reason...:laughing:
