Back on my A1! :-)
« on: April 20, 2006, 10:43:20 PM »
After three and a half months with no A1, I'm finally back up and running again.

I fried the CPU and had to send it to Amiga Repair Center in France.

I've just upgraded to Update 4 and, bugger me, HD-Rec absolutely flys!

Happy again.... :-)

Are you sure your name is "Robert" and not "Helgis"?

C'mon, isn't a guy allowed to be happy about working hardware? :-)

Have fun, Wilse!

Good to hear your machine is running again.

All the best.

That's probably where I got the expression.

It didn't die of it's own accord - I killed it.

I'm actually thinking of punting my Peg1 now.
I haven't switched it on for a month and have instead been using an iBook.
Now that I have this A1 and a WinXP box on the way, I'm unlikely to use the Peg much at all.

Did you really though Hardware compared to hardware, personally I'd trust the Pegasos more. Software to software (OS4 - MOS), both look to be DOA. But anyhow, don't get me wrong. I'm sure it's probably fun to tinker with:-) Keep and use what you want. I'm glad it's working again for you.

I have not heard of that many amigaones dying by itself?? Most of the people who had damaged their amigaone had either overclocked the cpu or there was some problem with the cooling that made the cpu overheat.

I'm under the impression that they are quite flakey and prone to failure. I would never buy one, but I won't say much more. Personal opinions have gotten me labeled a Genesi employee (not on AO) in the past. :lol:

Mines been fine since day one - the only flakiness is getting the USB to pop up when I power up the Hub.
everything else is fine.
