My A500 "project" pics, details, build log?

[djos]

So the flour stuff isnt needed either?

I ended up with AmiCDFS 2.4, with the atapi.device driver from IDEFIX97. Edited the CD0 file in the dosdrivers folder (from memory?) to use the different driver, and set the device number to 0.

CD rom drive and compact flash now work! CF is slave, CD is master.

But the issue is, it doesn't display names properly? whats going on here? these CDs work in the A500.... is it a limitation of the atapi driver that I should have known about?

Are you using the standard CD0 file that is included with Workbench 3.1? If so, you should use the mount file that's included with AmiCDFS instead. Try this to see how it goes.

Replied to your help here, as I started another thread to directly address the issue, thanks!

Thanks for the advice for the peroxide! I might pick up a bottle tonight and the forecast looks promising for Sunday. I will try the top of the A1000 keyboard. It's really yellow!

How did it go?

[AmmoJammo]

I need a house... :cry:

Sorry, not my intention to ignore you. I completely missed your post! I've applied the peroxide two or three times now and it does look much better. Still some yellow here and there but I have to say it's OK.

Btw, where did you find a TV with SCART in Australia? Thought SCART was pretty much unheard of here.

Not wrong, they are very rare here except for a small number of premium euro brands like Lowe, Grundig etc.

This is the second tv i have bought with a scart input. First was a cheap 15inch sonique or some crap :p

[AmmoJammo]

And as to where I found it...
Gumtree!

Paid $40, has no stand or remote... and it was a massive stuff around organising a time to collect, and even collecting it! :/

Its perfect though.

PS2 - YpBpr
Sega - SCART
Amiga - SCART
C64 - Svideo
PC - DVI
Set top box - VGA!

SCART, if it's RGB, is better than the composite I'm stuck with now. Wish I had a RGB SCART on my TV. My Amiga deserves better...

Have you considered RGB to YpBpR?

Grundig is a premium brand in Australia?!

They're not in the UK!

Surely they're higher end than Soniq? :p

Well, I was planning to go VGA but those converters seem a bit expensive and unreliable. Maybe component is better if I will use my TV.

Found this on The Bay. The english is a bit funny but I belive it's a RGB SCART to YPbPr and S-Video:

Better english in this ad but more expensive including shipping:

I have a couple of DB23 and if I can just get a female SCART shell I can make my own cable and plug in into this converter. Or maybe I replace the SCART header in the coverter? Thanks for the idea! Seems like a good project=)

ah, more like this:

But based on the fact you consider the $40 GBS to be expensive, you're probably better off sticking with composite... :p
