Here's another screenshot of the OCS internet experience to add to the collection

I noticed several hams here that also are amigans. How many of you still have yours on the air?. I sometimes put mine on packet. EA5HDX here.
Cheers!

@ ferix

That`s cool!!!  But you should put a DB-25 Serial port on there for ultimate coolness  

Those power lines could be useful as well!!

I love the Amiga Serial port!!

I am humbled and am forced to accept defeat... No way I can match THAT on my A500......

Hi everyone, IIRC, I've already connected my friend's Amiga500 to the internet(dial-up) back in 2003. We just bought his new, Rom kickstart 3.1 and thought of going online so we can chat. Some of the ingredients were as follows.
• Amiga500 (CPU68k 1mb Chip, GVP HDD(SCSI512MBHDD)+8MBfast)
• 56k Flex Modem
• KS3.1
• Workbench 3.1
• MUI3.7
• Miami
• Alynx(this is a text based browser)
• Aloooooooooooooooot of patience.. :lol:
The experience of connecting it to the net gives me the chills :lol: our next step were to download install Ibrowse2.1 the next day, but unfortunately, his phone line were cut off for not paying the bills.

Back in the day, I used my Amiga2000HD over dialup connection to my ISP.
- Amiga2000HD (68000CPU 1 MB Chip, 4 MB FastRAM, 40 MB hard drive)
- KS3.1
- Workbench 3.1
- AmiTCP/IP
- ppp.device
- AWeb-II
- FTPMount
- Zoom 14.4Kbps modem
It was slow, but I was always amazed that I could actually do it.

I ran my A500 with a KPC-3 and an FT-2400.

 I never even knew a Baycom would work with an Amiga. It was hard enough getting it to work with the laptops of the day. No idea where mine went to, but I still have the KPC-3 on an Icom 706.

A few years ago I tinkered with a CDTV and JR-COMM to monitor the DX cluster stream but never put it all together after I moved. Maybe I will with the new cycle bringing back 10 meters.

I don't know what could be the "top speed" of the serial link, but I think you can achieve 115000 bauds at least, better than a 56K modem.
I was thinking on include a plip port for higher speeds, but It would be less compatible, but It's still possible.

 The Amiga serial port cannot achieve more than 56kb on 030 or better accelerator. Pure 68000 runs OK at 19200 or a bit over this using software serial replacement like baudbandit or new8n1.

 Anyway, this project is very interesting and I really love to see the schematics or the prototype running.

 My congratulations to you!

I know It, but as I said, It's multiplatform. You can use It at 115000 bps if your hardware can reach that speed.

Anyway, this project is very interesting and I really love to see the schematics or the prototype running.

 My congratulations to you!

You'll see them soon

You'll see them soon

 Do you have a page for the project? I think we can stop hijacking this poor thread.

No, I don't (yet). But you're right, we must stop hijacking this thread.
I'll open a new thread with the status of the project, as soon as I finished the hardware. It's about 95% concluded now...
