I built a parallel port sampler many years ago - was based on a ZN448 ADC if I remember correctly, and basically wired directly to the parallel port... Happy days!

I'm starting to find some spare time so I'll have to think of a new project soon, but my most recent one is my MP3 jukebox. The hardware's mostly finished, the only bit I have left to do is the PIC-based IR remote receiver. The software still needs some work too, but that's ongoing. The remote part in itself could be useful as a stand-alone device for any Amiga, I guess that could be my project :)

If you wanna see the player, have a look here:

Well done on the mod, it looks great!

Are there any companies out there who will design and print just one tiny one layer board for a project? How does it work, you send them a picture file like .iff or .jpg?

Tried to install a toilet roll holder the other week but have since given up.


:lol:

Those are a lot harder than they look. You should start easy, with new toilet seats. I did this to both my bathrooms. I'm calling it a makeover success !

It seems the more time I spend on Amiga websites the less time I seem to have for DIY projects! :(

Still working on my Star Wars project for PrBOOM-Plus...

All we got on Amiga is plain old PrBOOM, but I've got my hopes up. :)

Might try to remove the 68000 socket from my 2000 this week end.
