>hangs head with shame<

I know... I know...  will try to setup a C64 system soon
6 working units and a few to rebuild/fix so its not like I do not have choice
just limited space!

Lol.

Well I got my a504 4MB fast ram board and Amiga to S-Video/Composite adapter today from Kipper2k and I must say the they are great. The S-Video board has awesome PQ and will be very useful for taking my a500/a1200 out and about if I ever get a chance to organise a proper meeting room for the next Adelaide user group. :-p

Omg omg omg, I have the most awesome wife ever!

She just bagged me 2x good condition a500's, a heap of software, 2x external fdd's, several joysticks and something I've been after for ages..... A 1084s-p for $120 from gumtree (in aus that's what we normally pay for just the 1084s)!

Cool. Don't think the MCSE manuals will help with working on an A500....

She has an older sister who's in the uk, nice very smart girl and about 33, coming back to oz next year tho.

Cheers everyone for the kind words.

Ps I'd forgotten how bad the flicker was on amiga monitors!! I'm thinking I might go back to my LCD using kippers s-video adaptor! :p

I might see what my c64 looks like on it and if I still can't stand the flicker ill sell my 1081.

Lol, yeah it's more job related reference material

I now have my a1200 up and running with the 1081s and one of my two 4.3amp heavy duty PSU's - interestingly it seems much more stable now so i will have to play with turning maprom on again.



btw, I think i've gotten used to a fishbowl crt again and games and demos look really good, WB is still flickery and High-res laced is just a disaster but for my main uses im a happy chappy.
