Been having issues with my CF HDD. Though a recent format and reinstall on CLassicWB Full and PFS seems to have sorted it.

Has anyone else tried the latest Indivision ECS firmware with the 800x600 super display yet? Works great with my LG LCD.

While not following the rest of the thread, I find your question interesting.
I'm not that familiar with this piece of Jens' hardware.
How well does it work and what software is compatible with the 800x600 display?
At one time I ran PCs at this setting and it was adequate.

It's only workbench that runs in 800x600 setting as you need the monitor settings to make it work. It certainly makes navigating though larger folders easier as you can really open the windows to see more stuff. I have the links laying around to a german forum with the superdrive(think it's called that) and the latest firmware. It however does eat memory if you have fancy workbench effects going. So I use the oldschool wb 1.3 theme on ClassicWB full as it looks good and keeps things zipping along. :)

As for the device it's self. It does an adequate job. I have no reason to complain for what I use it for.

Thanks. I really like your A600 setup. Looks like a nice, compact, yet powerful system.

Jens still has some 42MHz accelerators for the 1200 that also look attractive (if he ever gets around to finishing the latest flicker fixer for that machine).

Hey, that's not too social, is it?

I have just finished putting a HxC into it. So I no longer have to rely on disks at all with it. Sad in one way but makes life easier in another.

I know the feeling. I have 1.44 drives in two of my PCs, but they get very little use.
A few days ago I did use one to hold video card bios files for ATIflash.
But I booted the system with a CD and the latest version of ATIflash was also stored on CD because it was too large for the floppy.

it was a tough decision to not have a proper floppy drive in the 600. But as a gaming machine first and everything else second I needed to think of the longevity of the system. Which meant going for WHDLoad and HxC. It's awesome, don't get me wrong, as the HxC does all the proper click sounds a real floppy drive would do. But it doesn't have the same feel now. If you get my drift.

I was just thinking. Would I be able to get Amix working on my 600 with Accelerator I have installed?

Fair enough. Just thought I would ask as it seemed interesting. Maybe I could emulate it?
