Last thing you did on an amiga?

Booting Epic to test that my A1200 was okay.

[tone007]

Hunted down a hack of Fink i did earlier this year and released it before i totally forgot about it. Admittedly she hasnt seen much use this summer

Hi,

I am back on this site to see the news about amiga ...
The last time I used my A4000T was to use Bars & Pipes and sequence a song.
Otherwise I work on my G5 double processors for editing videos and surfing the net.
I have many Amigas and was thinking of selling a few ?
Anyone interested ?

Tested booting my A2000 with GVP 040 while holding the left mouse button down to boot in 68000 mode.  It worked and I played Loopz to test it.

Classics rool..

About 7 or 8 years ago I think.  Putting my old A4000/Mediator/CSPPC side-by-side with my then-new Pegasos and seeing the same apps running perfectly at speeds I'd only dreamt of, then taking pictures of the A4000 for eBay.

How are you getting on with it, is it working? Have you tried stereo SIDs yet?

thanks again for all the great work Ian!..I unfortunately am still having the balck screen at startup since I installed the wtong installer by accident:angry:...anyhow I know the CW is working ok becasue I got the drive lights to work when running tyhe read file from the OS4 CW driver ..I see you're getting help with a new installer over at amigans.net which is very much needed ...btw, can't wait to try out my dual stereo SIDS once I get the driver problem solved:afro:

I installed a Buddha in my A2000. Installed OS 3.9 along with boingballs up to the latest unofficial. Booted up my Amiga 1200 and looked at old art that I painted around 1987-1989. Installed Art Department with patches... and more.

I last did this - 5 minutes ago :-

Still disappointed by the overheating A1200 causing graphics corruption and random crashes.  Is it the caps?  Most seem to be tantalum (?) anyway - only 3 elctrolytics on the board.  I've now removed the metal shielding to enable better airflow ... and still it crashes when hot

You shouldn't be experiencing an overheating A1200 unless maybe you have an 040 card and/or a bunch of other power hungry or heat producing internal goodies. Indivision ECS maybe? Get yourself a tiny/silent fan or two, the kind made for processors, to put in there and see if that helps. Easy to mount those little fans either on top of the case by the vents or underneath them, inside the case.

When I had an Indivision AGA, it would get real hot and eventually start producing random lines on the screen. And yeah, sometimes the computer would crash. This was with an A500 supply, 030 card and a 2.5" HD. I placed a single little fan on top of the case, blowing into the machine and it was much, much happier  

Have you got a bunch of internal peripherals and are using a stock A1200 power supply? If so, you might want to get yourself an A500 supply or a modded modern PC supply with an adapter.

I've sent you a PM rather than take this thread off topic - any advice gratefully received

hoping one day someone somewhere will get an email from my 1200 Amiga ,or even better i will get one back ,lol:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Don't joke - now we have both our A1200's online, email (YAM?) is the next step!

I need to give my miggy some medical attention first though.  I think she just needs some TLC - my girlfriend says I should have never resurrected her from the dead - implying she'll be doomed to live in some sort of zombie state now.  Apparently I should have let her rest in peace.  I almost feel guilty now :s

I suppose it depends on how we define "amiga".  My definition includes Classic, the various emulations and newer generation systems (AROS, MorphOS and OS4).  The last time I used my A2000HD was a few years ago.  I've been using my PPC system since around Christmas time of 2004.  Right now I'm posting this reply with OWB.
