Epsilon's Amiga X1000 Blog

Multiviewer seems like a very useful tool indeed. I'm quite impressed actually Too bad there is no MorphOS version but I would like to give the 68k version a try. If it's not crash prone it seems like a better program than what MorphOS can currently offer.

A-Eon, if you read this, I would really like a MorphOS version

What will it cost?

does seem a worthwhile upgrade to multiview

MorphOS version would be nice

Hi All,

Today I have an exclusive sneak preview on my blog of the upcoming MultiviewerNG program for AmigaOS4.1 by Andy "Broadblues" Broad for A-EON Technology. It will be released soon on AMIStore.

Nice! I think I may be tempted by this.
Any word on your X1000?

Indeed, hopefully Os3 version will play nice with MorphOS.

Hi All,

Been a bit busy with work this month, but today I have two new blog posts.

One looks at using a Radeon 7750 card with the Warp3D Southern Island drivers on my Sam460CR under AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition:

The other is a quick blog post about reaching the 3 year milestone of the Amiga X1000 Blog! Thanks to all for reading and following me for the past 3 years!

Ofcourse, we are talking to each other through support tickets.

Hi All,

I have written a new blog entry looking at the recently released games - Quake 2 high Definition Warp3D by HunoPPC, The Secret of Middle City (Demo) by GDG Entertainment and a quick look at the Warp3D version of Wings Battlefield. (All using AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition on my Sam460CR)

Link is here:

I will be on holiday for a bit from this week with no access to my Amiga systems so the blog will be paused until I return in August. In the meantime have a great time with your Amiga systems, Classic or Next Generation! :-)

NIce blog update.
Hope your holiday has gone well. Any word on your X1000 yet?

Thank you, I had a great holiday in Japan. It was good to unplug - I really needed it.

I have been very busy back at work and also updating my interesting trains blog this week with my Japan trip train travels - please feel free to check it out if interested! http://interestingtrains.blogspot.com.au

When done with those blog entries (they take a lot of time) I will turn my attention back to the Amiga blog again. I am really looking forward to attending the Adelaide Amiga meeting next month!

Regarding my X1000, the CPU was confirmed damaged by Varisys just over a month ago. Most likely it was damaged by the unexpected power cut during the failed firmware update which I covered in my blog. It is an unlucky and sad situation for me.

My X1000 is now over 3 years old and is out of warranty unfortunately, and putting a replacement CPU in it is close to the cost of a new X1000, so I have been recommended to buy a new replacement X1000 instead, which gives me a new warranty again also.  

I am working on this replacement with A-EON at the moment, and Trevor is being very helpful and generous to get this sorted out for me. I am very grateful for this, and I have paid for the replacement this week.

Hopefully I will get this system shipped to me in AU soon, and have my X1000 again to blog about the latest developments! Can't wait to get it! :-)

Regards,
Epsilon

Hi All,

I noticed that Entwickler-X has today released a new game for AmigaOS 4.1 called Bubble Shooter Deluxe. I have taken a quick look at it on my blog here:

I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back and thanks for the update!
I am shocked that if my PASemi CPU goes belly up then I am left with an unrepairable Nemo... Ouch!!!

Invest in a UPS. A US$60.00 UPS can save a lot of headaches.

I have one of those ;-)

Just hope it doesn't let out the magic blue smoke for some other reason....

A damaged CPU during a failed firmware update?  Wow.  Never heard of such a thing.

Is the CPU not socketed?
