Just wondering what is still on your list of things to get or do with your Amiga(s)?


A2500:
- properly re-solder the power connector on my DKB2632 ram board so I can use the full 116MB RAM in my A2500 :-)
- buy an Acard SCSI-IDE bridge and install that spare 80GB IDE drive


A4000 tower:
- custom paintjob
- relocated Zorro slot for Prometheus busboard (so I can use all other Zorro slots on the Micronik busboard)
- tons and tons of other mods

And: finally learn how to program in C and asm :-D

Is "too much" a good answer?

I have tons of projects, software and hardware, and almost no spare time.  Story of my life :-)
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

Ouch, my todo-list never gets finished!

1. Finish my Amiga 1200T

I need to solder new power wires for the MicroniK 6860 Zorro 2 busboard, then I need to screw everything together and configure the whole package consisting of BlizzardPPC, Ariadne, BlizzardVision etc...

2. Finding a new cooling solution to my CyberVisionPPC

That blue heatsink was not secured properly, I need to find something that is good looking, good performance and is not permanently attached to the graphics board.

Plus lots of other things to do!

not to much planned,

- Getting a faster boot by creating the 3.9 roms would be nice.
- After 2 ? 3 ? years get my Mac emulator for system 7.5 working with the 2060 card.
- deneb ? perhaps

1. Get the data off of my A1200T - Lots of precious stuff languishing on the HD that I want to get archived safely away.  Just got to work out the best way to do it.

2. Build a proper emulation box.  I want to build a box that will boot straight into UAE without much fuss.  I never managed to get X-Amiga quite working as well as I hoped.

3. Get a modestly kitted up A1200D for that authentic retro feel (got the parts, just not got the space or time)

4?. Perhaps merge 2. and 3. and see if I can fit a tiny PC in an A1200 case with a Keyrah.

I thought this was a todo list, not a wish list.

I need to work-out (find the time basically) how to use BlzzKick so I can patch my ROM and then load it into fastram (OS3.9 user).

Also need to come up some nice wallpaper for my AGA desktop (1024x768 32 colors).  Everything I've tried so far just kills my chipram :(
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!

I set a machine up with WinXP, replaced explorer with WinUAE, no GUI... it booted into A nice RTG Amiga Desktop in little over a minute... before I killed off explorer I installed the latest drivers etc... The machine was a great Amiga Replacement!

Buy an accelerator for my A1200.

I know it looks silly, but I decided this year I must finish my car's restoration, so every cent saved is going to that account. When the old rusty bucket hit the road I'll allow me to spend some money in computers again :-D

Summer projects include:

- Getting my A1200 stable so I can actually use it.

- Installing an A3000 SIMM Adapter from DJBase in my A3000.

- Installing some form of active/passive cooling in my A3000 as she gets a little warm in summer and flat our refuses to do anything.

I think that's pretty much it.

Still looking for something useful to do with my nicely accelerated A1200 except run Tandem asm IDE for learning.

(that is very useful, but still)

Rebuild the current (PC) chieftec case into housing the A1200. Find out whats making the BVision not working.
Purchase zorro expansion. and purchase PCI expansion. try to see if they both can exist in the same case and working together... hopefully i can find a g-rex pci and it works with my BPPC. Purchase an internal scan doubler.
