W00t, just ordered my Indivision ECS today :)
« on: January 10, 2013, 05:35:19 PM »
Don't know about anyone else, but I was rabidly refreshing the AmigaKit website about every five minutes for the past week to see when they got them in, LOL.  Can't wait!  ;-)

Also for anyone who's interested, I got an email from Kipper2K that he still has some of those 8 meg memory expansion boards available.  It took a while to hear back from him and I've got another solution in the mail already, but these look pretty awesome for anyone who needs one, and I'll probably order some other stuff from him soon, too.

It's been about 10 years since I've had any spare $$ to spend on Amiga stuff, so I'm pretty happy right now!  :)

Congratulations, I know the feeling, when I buy stuff I use paypal and payment pending can take some time ^^

I hope you will be happy with the Indi ECS :) Good luck :)

How much fun is it to install in an amiga 500? There have been horror stories I've heard with some poeple never getting it working quite right. Others have had an easy great experience with it. External scandoublers just work, but having it internal is just better...

I have amigamaniacs svideo converter. It works but I think output to vga would be so much better.

Indivision?
I'd love to have one some day.

I don't know about A500. I have it in my A600. It was a bit fiddly, and the cramped space doesn't really help, but once I got it right it's great stuff. I think with A500 it might be easier. With more space and more robust hardware...
I hope I'll have an A500+ with Indy some day :)

Installing the Indi in the 500 is very easy. The problem comes in with the latest batch needing fixes applied.

The fault shows up more on the 500 plus. The Indi I have had two trips back for two different patches to be applied before it was rock steady in the 500 plus.

Think that has to do with the motherboard version.  On some you have to bend a capacitor over, or replace it with a lower one?  I think it's just "pop right in" on my 6A board.  Will have to figure out where to run the cable to, probably underneath my floppy drive on the back.

@Lurch - can you describe any more about what fixes you had to have done for yours?  I don't have a 500+ but I do have some upgraded chips (1 Meg Chip Agnus, Super Denise, KS 3.1, 68010 processor).  Hopefully I won't have the same troubles, fingers crossed!

Not sure but looking at it, it has two additional components on it. Jen's and Amigakit sorted it all out for me. The fault was also displaying on my Rev 6 board but not as bad. :-(

Here's a video before the fix

Anyway I'm sure they're all going out with the fixes applied now :-)
